Well to me it makes more sense than the "early prototype" theory given what we've heard about the GT350 and Ford's real emphasis on special editions and performance models for the S550. It could be as expensive as the C7. Any design should be completely set in stone, probably a while back so...

What are your deal breakers that would stop you from buying a 2015 mustang? Some people in the other thread said added weight is one. I agree. Mine: - heavier by even a pound - bigger (length, height, overall bulk) - no manual option - no IRS - no V8 - over 34K MSRP for V8 - no HP gains I...

Interesting. IF this is the GT350 or some other SVT variant, Possible we are seeing some carbon fiber here ?

I dont buy the 'it must be ready by summer' thing. There's enough excitement that it won't matter when it's available. Sure they would probably sell a few more in summer but if they show it in NY or even Detroit by then I think most people who have been interested enough to wait until the auto...

Smoked quartz looks great iin some lighting but purple hue in others. Same goes for deep impact blue. Ditto to others that say we need a true dark blue. Agree they need to break out of the monochrome, but I hope they still offer the Sterling Gray and Ingot Silver. Those should be big sellers...

Some serious skills chazcron. Pls keep us updated on the progress. Also agree with TT, this may deserve its own thread.

I assume you are referring to CD4? Interesting. I know the last min decision to drop IRS was based on price (or so they claimed) that would add abt $100 to the cost of the car. I guess the few hundred pounds its gained since then makes this an even bigger concern. There were a lot of...

Where would the extra weight gain come from? The car definitely doesnt' look bigger.... even if it is the same size, where would the 100 pounds increase be from.... IRS? Base weight should even be further helped by the I4 so it can't be the engine. They won't go backwards in using heavier...

Yep I realize that. It is sticking out and you can see how far it sticks out from other spy pics we have seen. Take a look at this. Both arrows pointing in roughly the same spot. Disregarding the exhaust pipe, the location of the exhaust opening is not showing the kind of drastic cut in rear...

Any chance we get more than 9 exterior color options? They had 24 back in the day! What's stopping them?

Yep too far fetched IMO. The side views also make me realize how different the weight balance SEEMS to be. It looks to rest more on the rear now from the pictures, even the ones of it parked. Wonder if that is due to the IRS....

Every time I see the side view of the S550 and the exhaust pipes sticking out that far just think thers no way they cut off 8 inches from the rear like the rumors are saying.

Nice job :thumbsup:

Yep well if you're going for a modern take on the 65 that's what you get. While I love the s197 for what it is, any time you remake an original the design team is handcuffed to staying true to different elements. What I really wana see is the GT350/500 design. That should signal the direction...

I'm with you on the colors. We need more than a basic crayon box of light and dark blues, reds and prime. I like the variety of bold colors in comparison to the Fusion options and others in the line up but need some different hues. Dark Side and Sunset are good examples of this IMO. Looks...

When you put it like this it definitely looks like a nice evolution and not a Fusion. I'm not sure why people are so hung up on the grille shape and headlights. The GT500 one is just a more rounded version of that and we all knew the round headlights were going out the door. Look at the...

That's crazy talk. You think they did it on purpose to push people to buy a 14? First off they still have very many months to do that and 14 sales arent THAT bad. They are right at where they should be for the last year of the platform and head to head with Camaro. Did I want to see it...

Yes, but that also would leave room for an upper lip rim to the grille. If the hood shut line is there it should create a natural line for one anyhow. Should look nicer than the straight dive to the hood that we see there.

HGFire, I hear what your saying, when I first saw these the unfnished look of it got me suspicious to. The prob is you gotta think besides how difficult it would actually be to go through all that trouble of fashioning this whole fake front, Ford also would be playing a dangerous game with...
