I'll give his Aston Martin the #1 best design spot. Two totally different cars, but there is no competition there. The Aston DB9 is a complete win on all levels.
I will keep everyone updated, but I doubt anything new and interesting will be known for a couple months. And if it is, then it will probably be picked up and posted here anyways.
Expect Ford to release teasers like they did with the 2010 restyle, or similar to what Chevy did with the Corvette...
I just picked my Boss's brain (Former big international Ford guy) and I was discussing launch strategies. I asked about what Ford would most likely do, and he opined that if the S550 is on schedule, they will reveal it way before April. He says it makes most sense to have the 2014MY to go just...
Nothing ground breaking, but it's good to know.
I have a friend who is a Ford sales rep and he has received a few pieces of information that are an addendum to stuff we already know.
He has NOT seen the car, but he says a few renders are fairly close according to what he was told, describing...
Talked to my friend who is a Ford sales rep.
He said order banks will be open "for quite a while still" for 2014's and that he was described the 2015 as "An extremely aggressive looking Fusion". He hadn't seen the car himself.
If the Mustang is Evos inspired, the the front end ought to be more like this, than a direct copy of a Fusion. Minus the crazy hood extractors, and a bit more "mustang" but the overall presence of this look would be very welcomed by me.
Here's how aggressive I'd like to see the Mustang front end be if it were derived from the Evos. Not necessarily look exactly like this, but the presence of it being very "stunning" as has been described.
That isn't the point. R&D is a completely different story.
There's an approval process that everything goes through.
Let's say the reveal happens and everybody is extremely displeased and nobody wants to buy it.
Guess what, they just lost millions of dollars producing production vehicles for...
It doesn't work like that.
They need to have a public reveal prior to production approval. It's a suicidal move, generally speaking, to spend money producing a product you haven't sold.
I didn't say that, but if you ask me, 22's on a muscle car looks retarded. It's way too much rim. 22's look big on my Tahoe. There's no way I'd put that on a Mustang.
The big fender flares do make the 22's not look atrociously huge, but still it's too much for me. 20's are the max I'd ever consider.
I just put wider 17's on mine and it looks great.
I think it's a mistake to wait until April to reveal the car.
If they want to use the 17th as a date of significance, that should be the availability/on sale date.
