Looks more like a Z's platform than a mustangs! Looks like a cheap Aston Martin actually

Edit: just read through all the posts, I guess that's just the general consensus!

I'd be careful with this if I was Ford...at stake is a huge customer base of Mustang fans that they can't afford to lose. Anything too drastic and they could be in big trouble. Not much of anything about that concept screams Mustang and/or musclecar. But...having said that, the very first blue pic in this thread seems like it could grow on me.

Read a stat somewhere that said the average age of a current Mustang buyer is 51....That's getting into Corvette territory!

For me, if it weighs less, retains power, and gets a decent IRS....It's all win!

Ford has to attract a new demographic of buyer, and Gen Y hasn't been too friendly to mustang sales.

I saw that average age of 51 story too, but somehow I find that hard to believe. I'm certain I see way more 20-30 somethings driving them than people over 50, although when I do see the older folks, they are usually the ones in the convertibles.

Its probably referring to new sales. You know, the way the automobile manufacturer gets money.

I cant hate on ford for an aston martin style front end as I love me some Aston but damnnnnnn 2 new cars now? First the new fusion now the next gen mustang?

No Ford is taking the looks form the Aston Martin side....... The 370Z is far from the looks.

The last two generations of the Ford Mustang have gotten retro design, hearkening to traditional Mustangs from the 1960s. However, Ford has publicized that the next generation Mustang will drop the retro appointments. Ford Mustang will not have retro styling in next generation. It likely won’t be getting the butterfly doors, but the new Mustang is said to be getting a diverse selection of engines, much like the current one. Very few cars on the motorways can raise notice for being in contiguous production for 50 years; that’s a feat, no matter how it’s sliced. What we do know presently, is that Ford has buzzed the 2015 Mustang is going to be a “world car”–perhaps set at capitalizing further upon a more global scene or maybe taking design and styling cues from world-class automobiles from today?
