Too bad it was pretty much universally hated by their fanbase. I thought it was absolutely fantastic! It is really annoying really seeing how so many people hate the streamlined look. Its as if shitty aerodynamics and poor handling have become a hallmark of the Mustang brand. To try and bring it out of the dark ages is borderline blasphemy!Roofline is going to be really hard to do since its really well covered. I should be able to finish it by tomorrow. By the way I just saw my rendering at the American Muscle fanpage.

Right.Agreed 100%
The people who hold this view and have the narrowest conception of what makes a mustang a mustang tend to ignore the majority of the cars history. It was originally conceived as a car to be orders as mild or wild as you would like... all things to everyone. Go back and find some ads from '65 and they use nearly those exact words.
The mustang will likely be the basis for Ford's highest performance "halo car" for the foreseeable future. It has to evolve or it wont compete with other rwd performance 2+2 sport coupes. Wider appeal and more sales means larger development budget for the performance models.

Of course the suppliers have seen the car. To produce the parts, the suppliers have to have CAD files to build tooling. My guess is that this far down the line, all the initial suppliers have been set. That doesn't mean that suppliers won't change as time goes on. We've taken on a number or transfer jobs from other suppliers from various reasons. We're just now kicking off tooling on 2015 MY vehicles.Better this than some of the more tame renders I have seen. This is nice and aggressive.
I'm surprised Ford is even showing suppliers pics of the car knowing how secretive they have been. Any idea if the supplier list has been finalized already?
I wouldn't risk either of our careers by posting any pictures. But that wouldn't keep me from either making sketches based on those designs or commenting on other people's renderings letting you know which ones are closest to the final design.If he wants to consider his future career in that Tier 1 supplier, I'd suggest he doesn't provide any images. Or, if he does, keep them to yourself (as much as that pains me!!!).
Why would they need to see the whole car in order to produce parts from a CAD file? They aren't going to send them files for the whole car, just the parts they are going to produce.Of course the suppliers have seen the car.

You're correct, for many of the suppliers of smaller parts, they wouldn't NEED to see the car. But Ford is really good at partnering with their preferred suppliers. This particular customer of ours is world-wide and a very big supplier to Ford. With this partnership comes some pretty nice perks.Why would they need to see the whole car in order to produce parts from a CAD file?

Now, if this supplier made body panels, they could see the shape.
