I don't know, upon closer inspection, they need to ditch those fog lamps. Looks like two big cubic zarconias.bling bling

Looks great--thanks for posting those. I think those rear side windows are crying out for some kind of treatment. And I think the vert version is gonna look killer, too.

I like the new one but it’s not what I specked. For one the front end doesn’t have the concept finish and second no scoops. 2nd the rear end they have the Japanese rear end type. The interior looks cool, I like the car a lot but it doesn’t call me that much as the concept did. I really wished that they didn’t show the concept, so I could love this one more.
Another thing Dan05GTOwner I have to agree with oogtdude, this one is not that muscular: compare a GT with a GT the cobra had the scoop facing to the back (I don’t know why) I you want aggressive you need scoops. Facing to the front that is, with the exception of the 03 Cobra.
Can any one post the pics of all the mustangs and it evolution?

And that's just comparing the gt to a cobra. Not cobra vs Cobra. The next cobra should be even more agressive. But remember you can't please everyone. Especially the younnger ones

Have you seen the Hondas exhausts? The bumper is just like it? It just looks weird. I think the scoops gives more attitude to the car.
Don’t get me wrong I like the 05, but they could have done a little better I think.

Yes I have seen honda exhausts. And I believe the exhaust was moved to that position for safety reasons. Like moving the gas tank further up on the car. Which while you may not agree. Is definately a good thing.

Point taken but like you said “you can’t please everyone. Especially the younger ones” (that’s me) I don’t know. I just hope that the Cobra, Roush, and others that come out could also focus on esthetics and uniqueness of the mustang.
I’m 21 and I just want to buy a nice special mustang (cobra) and hold on to it like people in the 60s and 70s with their mustangs that now turn heads on the streets.

Sales figures have shown it's not the younger crowd that's buyingstangs. They tend to be older. The younger buyers are getting mustangs used.
