I still feel that Shelby GT350, GT500, or any other Shelby version should be created by Shelby themselves. Ford's top two Mustangs should be the Mustang Cobra and Mustang Cobra Jet. If the marketing position for the new 2015 Mustang is to go away from retro then Shelby would be pretty retro to...

Thanks for your input, I understand what you're saying too. I will say there are things I like and other things I don't. The pics are too crappy for me to really get a good feel for it so i will wait. I'd really like to see it in person.
All in all - I'm not feeling blown away. I'm also...
Without going into some sort of discussion about design philosophy - as I mentioned - Just my 2 cents, just my opinion. Stylistically, it doesn't work on a Mustang. That's great for Ferrari and Jag, and what they like doing. What I like better about the idea of a faux gas cap is it's not really...
Yeah that's cool everyone likes something different. Not that it can't be done but traditionally there's never been a large Mustang (horsey) emblem on the back and personally as a designer I think it's too much - little garish or over decorated. Not saying there needs to be a faux gas cap.
A...
Yeah I'm agreeing that the teaser is not the rear tail light panel either. As a designer I feel that having a pony emblem like that just floating on the back panel would be awkward looking. It belongs on the front in the grill.
I can see that...might be some truth to that...check this out... I wanted to do a comparison photo of the Evos, possible S550 front end "reveal", and current GT on the right. The center Mustang mule front end and current GT nose styling is not that far a departure from each other. The mule shot...
Not to throw a curve ball in here...but did anyone think that maybe this front does look too much like a Fusion and that it may be another attempt to throw us all off? I haven't read the last couple pages of comments but not sure if anyone may have thought this same thing. When this was first...
I have a lot of respect for Jack Telnack. Just because he's a retired designer doesn't mean he doesn't know what looks cool anymore. I'm a 42 year old designer and have been designing products for almost 20 years. Every company I've worked for I can still churn out award winning ideas that bring...

If they are saying they are departing from retro, then the Need For Speed Mustang can't even be close. It's an S197. This new Mustang was said to have an all new chassis? Unless I misheard something?
I wonder if Ford will unveil a tight concept much like they did prior to the production car unveil of the 2005 S197 Mustang.
Remember these? They were pretty close to production styling but were pure concepts...
Not bad, looks a little different. I still feel the rear side quarter windows will be one continous shape with the side door windows. My prediction atleast. Ford did mention that the hood drops off a little too much at the front but I did that on purpose as it was a concept.

OK, so I did promise to do some other colors for you guys. Since you guys have been so patient I did 6 color variations in total and will post them individually. Check 'em out!
Black!
My prediction and gut feeling about the next SVT Stang has always been that I think they will ditch the Shelby GT500 moniker and bring back the Cobra! I also think since they are ditching retro that Ford SHOULD bring back the Cobra...Terminator II!!!!
