| What is Ford Thinking!? (New Mustang spy photos)
I don't know if any of you saw this, but, American Muscle got some spy photos of the 2015 Mustang, And I gotta say, I don't like what I see.. I thought this was being planned for years? And now it looks as though they are just getting started! So what do you guys think? I for one might be getting a 2013 Shelby instead of the 2015 if this is any indication of what it will look like. A lot of people are saying it's a test mule. Anyway, any Mustang guys wanna chime in?  SPY PHOTOS: The 2015 Mustang is in the Works! | AmericanMuscle.com Mustang Blog |

Have you read the latest Car and Driver pitting the GT500 against the ZL1? You will see that the mustang is far more powerfull but cant put its power to good use to turn a decent lap time.

Im a huge mustang fan. I grew up around my dad always having one. The wheel hop argument can be thrown out the window now. I believe Ford has evolved dramatically since it was making the IRS Cobras. If they put as much time and research into making this IRS work as they did making a solid axle car keep up with an M3, itll be golden. I think the main problem is weight. The IRS is heavier, and it looks like theyre stuffing more technology into it. The great the about the Mustang was that it was the lightest of the bunch.

I'm not a big Mustang fan(Camaro all the way) but it seems like they're trying to give the series a modern look like they did to the Taurus. Probably trying to break away from the retro feel of things that everyone seems to be doing. Good for them trying to be innovative.

Only thing I dont like the are thick fender walls.
Can anyone explain why all companies have been putting these atrociously ugly thick fender walls? It never blends well and takes away and aggressiveness.
The worst offender imo is Nissan.
But sersiouly, it looks terrible.
EDIT: I just realized I clicked the link that led to the black car. I am assuming you are referring to the blue drawing? Anyways, I like the styling alot. It reminds me of the GTO for some reason. HOWEVER, for the love of god, stop making these cars so dang thick! I mean, look at those windows. They are a third the size of mine. Leave the roof line the same, but squish all the body panels by about 3-4 inches and you have one hot car!
