Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........

Some more thoughts about the interior:

The center console seems to have some gauges like the 1st gens had. The concept's console gauges appear to be digital. I'm not sure how practical this would be for the production car. I'd like to see it in the concept, but I can already see people complaining about that in the future form an ergonomical standpoint. One of the things I don't like about the new Mustang is the retro gauges that sacrifice being legible. In my first post I said that the interior looked a little spartan, and that's not a bad thing. I'm very pleased to see that there isn't any DVD/Navigation screen, or superfluous gadgetry. Leave that for the option boxes.

Similar greenhouse, might have been a little taller.

do you think this car was done after your clinic or before it?

Z28.com has the pics posted and says that Scott gave them permission.

Someone PM Jason/Chris and see if they want to make a sticky with them.

RP spoke to the clinic car I saw on another thread. I think it was the "I'm betting on the SS concept" thread from a week or so ago.

Clinic was 6/03. The rear of that car was very similar to the SS concept except that it met at a point like the CTS. There were no 69 fender sweeps. In general that car was more rounded.

I just searched and his clinic was in 2003, about when I thought it was. If the greenhouse on the car he saw was more SS and it didn't have fender sweeps it could mean that it was an evolution of the leaked photos and we could be looking at something as far back as 2002 or earlier, my initial thoughts.

I think the answers will all come out soon enough.

i hope so. i just wish we could place a date on the photos......from danno's comparison, it sounds like the pics we are seeing are from after the clinic, but how long after is the big question......

Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........

Now that I can actually see the concept without a water mark obscuring huge parts of it, I like the quarter windows with the upward sweep. Look alot like the rear door quarter windows in my Grand Prix.

Scott,

I undcerstand your point about first impressions, but I have to say, the more I have been able to digest this clay, the MORE excited I am about Jan. 9th.

Do they have all the pics posted w/o the watermarks? The only one I see is the front quarter shot on the main page.

It's really hard to tell. RP mentioned there were several of these car making the rounds at the same time in different clinics.

This car looks like it could be a camarorized (heavy on the 1st gen) version of the car I saw at the clinic.

If this isn’t the car you saw, then my gut tells me that this car was made after your clinic.

This clay concept may have been made to directly influence the NAIAS concept.
