In looking at the rear side windows, I don't see how they would be much worse than the current Mustangs. In fact, they appear to be larger.

The hood looks to be relatively flat like it is now - which means you will be able to see it - making it easier to park, and giving you that cool view of the road with the reflections in the hood. The roofline also doesn't seem to deviate much from the current car.

Actually, in my eyes it looks like a very much redone version of the current car. I bet the profile is very similar.

As far as the masculine style goes - the jury is out on whether or not it will appeal to women. I'm sure ford has done it's homework. Regardless, I am glad to see someone design a car that doesn't look like it was designed to specifically appeal to women and just be acceptable for men.

I'm not seeing the car the same as you. I'm going by the pix that were leaked from someone's garage a few weeks back, of the white one with the background blurred, which I now have on my hard drive. IF that is the production car, it really looks to me to have a rear quarter visibility limitation worse than the current Mustang (guess we won't really know til we sit in one). I disagree about the hood being flat - it appears heavily domed in the photos. Seating position (again going by the pix) seems lower than the current car, although again we don't really know yet (low seating has been an issue women have with the 4gen FBody). I also do not agree about the roofline - the pix look to me to show a lower and faster roofline than the current car (I happen to LIKE that better than the current car - but will women?). And the interior - who is that going to appeal to? Those gauges went out with our old 1966 Galaxie 500
