I like the lack of chrome trim better, chaz.
Much cleaner. The rear is where your render really pulls away from the c&d one.

Thanks for the continued updates Chaz! (When do you find the time??)
I really don't think the "cranberry sauce can" ridges are going to be on the real thing, despite what the focus group participant said. They don't exist in Ford's current design language, and more make me think of 80's Mercedes tail lights. They don't look contemporary or in keeping with the rest of the design.
The Mustang designer, Kemal Curic, has done nice tail lights before with the Fusion and Focus. The Fusion, like the outgoing Mustang, uses "strips" of lights, and I have to believe the new Mustang will too, as it's clearly part of Ford's new language, though it probably won't be executed like the current Mustang. Mercedes, Audi and a couple of others are using it on their higher end car tail-lights also, so it's a worldwide trend befitting the Mustang's global ambitions.

Dang, those look sweet
I don't have a problem with evolution or a radical departure as long as it looks good. I'm not a big fan of the Chaz's render, its just not what I like. Has nothing to do with evolution, has to do with my taste. I'm starting to like it the more I see it and hope it looks way better in person or I won't be getting one. That's just my personal preference, call it what you will.
I think all the renders have done a service to Ford. Initially didn't love it myself but I have already warmed to it and that's saying a lot already without seeing the actual car. The reactions I've seen seem to be the same.... a lot less "Fusion coupe" comments now and people are beginning to accept that there will probably be some global design cues in there.
I can tell you that I liked the "face" spy pics right when I saw them and I definitely wasn't thinking Fusion or Evos at the time. I'm sure the real thing will have the same affect.

Have to say I feel the same way. There is little doubt that Chaz's ability to render is exceptional but the overall look of the car thus far just hasn't struck a cord with me so to speak. I find that I actually like the current design better by comparison. In all sincerity I hope the car is a smash hit regardless of my misgivings. The Mustang is truly an American icon and I hope that it continues to see model year after model year until we just quit driving cars as a species. That being said, right now I'm leaning towards getting a 2012 or newer version of the current car and thoroughly enjoying it. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the 2015 model will do by way of performance given the improvements to the suspension. I'm also particularly curious to see how the 4 cylinder version will perform up next to the V6 and V8 offerings.

Agreed. As an artist myself I have to give Chaz full credit for his skill at rendering. His work is quite good and something I could never do. I'm more of a traditional artist myself using oil on canvas or assembling and painting military models. I enjoy seeing the work some of these guys can turn out with the computer based media. His renders are very well done, I just wish I could find myself liking the car's overall design.

This is exactly what I've been alluding to.
If you like the current car so much, how is this that different besides the grille? Or do you just hate the grille that much?
I think most people here actually like the deeply set grill with the bars
And if you like that... chaz's render is not that far off. It's just got sleeker roofline and more aggressive rear quarters (hips) and the back end is much nicer IMO

I actually like the front end. For me it's the body lines along the side. There's just something about it that doesn't quite work for me. Face on the car looks great, but the profile shots just don't grab me. It's difficult to put such things into words. Who knows why people like or dislike the aesthetic appeal of any given object. It's all in the mind I suppose. I know guys who actually think that Kate Upton isn't that attractive. I think she's off the chart beautiful. Go figure. Who knows, maybe when I see the car in person I'll have a whole different view on it. But for now, meh.This is exactly what I've been alluding to.
