In profile it looks A LOT like a 350z.

As a whole I kinda dig it but see some things that are odd.

- The moonroof thing is beautiful, but I kinda doubt it would get through the DOT.

- I didn't think it was possible to make mirrors smaller and more useless than on the Camaro concept. I was wrong.

- The exhaust tips are goofy.

- Um, I think the PETA types might not dig the seat-covers.

- Doors: Lambo no-no.

- Are those door handles off of a C-3 Vette?

The moon roof may pass DOT as long as it has the roof supports. The Scion Tc has a full glass roof. This car also reminds me of a BMW 650i, for some reason. Although I can't stop laughing at the seats....

Yeah the rear does have a bit of "Bangle-Butt" to it huh?

Scion - Does it really? Wow. I've never looked at one of those things any longer than it took to laugh at the meathead driving it for dumping thousands into wheels and fart can exhaust on a 160hp car.

I like parts of it, and definitely appreciate the amount of work that went into it, but there are many things on the car that just don't mesh for me.

I don't like the back end. Maybe some different taillights would do the trick, but it seems to me that there was a lot more effort put into the front end than the backside.

The mirrors are kind of a joke I think. Very concept car, which, while appropriate, still looks silly.

The front looks really agressive and definitely hints at being a competitor to the new Camaro stylistically.

The interior...well, it goes without saying that it's bad, but it REALLY knocks the car down a couple pegs. It's very tacky and as someone said, PETA will probably have a fit when they see it. Keep a look out for people with buckets of red paint entering the building.... :D

The roof is interesting. Not practical from a production standpoint, but being a one-off car, I think it's pretty slick. I'd like to see it with a painted roof panel too though.

All in all, while the car doesn't do a lot for me, I'm sure it's well built and I think it's an interersting concept.

If put in production I wonder how much it would cost for a new windshield.. lol

Glass guys would be throwing their backs out left and right trying to work with that hunk of glass. Windex stock would go up. Insurance companies would institute a seperate windshield policy on coverage for these cars. The convertible version of this car would cost $10,000 less than the hardtop...

I think it *might* be smarter to just add a roof panel. Might just be me though. :lol:

I think one of the side profile pics looks alot like the
Aston Martin DB9
i like the interior minus the horse hair. i like the long hood and layed back windsheild. not so big on the way the doors open, but i understand that that is the supercar way, i think standard opening doors would be fine, i like the cab pushed back, or front end extended which ever way you look at it. tail lights........... hummmm maybe add some chrome trim arround the lenses. possibly a small wing to add a little detail, looks a bit sparce. the glass roof ..... ummmm i think it is way cool but i'm not a convertable fan so a option for a standard or stainless roof would be good for me. wheels not so much but that goes without saying seems they never get that part right.

Hmmmmm....From some angles it looks really cool but starts to look more like a Nissan Z from a side view. After finally regaining a true "Mustang" look that even a GM fan like myself could be excited about, I'm not convinced this is an improvement over the current aesthetic. It's actually starting to look like something other than a Mustang...in some ways, dare I say 09 Camaro-esque in proportions? It looks more like the alternative concept from the last redesign that didn't get the nod for production.

In my opinion I don't really think those taillights work for that car, they're too arbitrary and alien looking. One thing that is a strong design element in the greatest of Mustangs is the 3-slot taillights with the recessed horizontal "racetrack" surrounding both of them in the tail panel. The rear looks more like a resultant of what happened with the surfaces creating the trunk and quarters...it needs more definition and detail.

I like the hood but does it say Mustang? I dunno. The nose looks pretty good but somewhat forced and pinched downward...there's just a lot going on in front.

Though the roof concept in it's current form is very stylized and perhaps unrealistic from a manufacturing and service perspective, it's very, very cool. The greenhouse has an awesome shape from virtually every angle. There has to be some way to mold a tinted ABS roof panel, glass would just be way too heavy.

Not a big fan of the mirrors, they are entirely too small even if the technology allows us to replace conventional mirrors with cameras. I would either put bigger mirrors on or remove them all-together and have the cameras hidden somewhere else.

As for the interior, I think a lot of it has some great shapes but it's greatly overshadowed by chosen contrasting finishes, materials, trim and let's not forget the cow-print seats. As plasticy as the current Mustang interior is, I prefer it over the concept vehicle. I think it has potential after the accountants put their hands on it and work their "magic".

Overall, a typical cool and highly stylized show car. If this is their direction, I can't wait to see the production version. Though, I think the Camaro will steal a significant amount of this Mustang's potential buyers. We'll see...

I do like the side profile of the car, it has that same "muscular" forward look as a DB9. I was thinking the same thing as Killer said...

It looks big.

It certainly seems to have styling that was done with the new Camaro in mind. Especially the horizontal / flat upper surfaces of the rear quarters...

Kurt's right, looks like a Hot Wheel. The interior fabric really distracts my eye. Would like to see it in person, maybe with a different color exterior/interior.
