What do you guys think?

Looks like they are stealing styling cues from the 370z. Fat rear fenders, more rounded bubbly figure design unlike current and past straight line and boxy design, long sweeping rear glass to trunk. Definitely looks like a good amount of similarities in shape of the 370z.

The front grille and headlights make me think Aston Martin (remotely). But concept drawings can be quite inaccurate to what the production model will look like.

But that render looks like a Jaguar.

I don't like car mag renders. They're always bits and pieces of other existing models.

Just a rendering. Probably will not look anything like that.

+1, no sense even commenting one way or the other.

I think they used design cues from the Taurus for this one to make it more sleek looking. Like everyone else said, final version will Probably Look very different

This is the Evos Concept, which these renders are all based on:

The new Mustang is supposed to take styling cues from this concept. But like all previous Mustangs it will have a long hood and a short deck lid, so it will look a little different.

That does look similar

What I'm looking forward to is that it will be a minimum of 250 lbs lighter than current (3,600 lbs). Ford just announced two days ago that they have a partnership with DOW Chemical to develop/produce automotive-grade carbon composites for use in mass-produced vehicles.

This just further backs up Ford's stated goal of reducing weight for all new models by 250-750lbs under the model it replaces. In fact, any new model does not get approved unless it meets this criteria.

Given the new Mustang will be closer in exterior dimension to the SN95 platform, I think they might cut the weight by even more than 250lbs.

Like them or not they are advancing and this is good for the industry as a whole.
