Never liked the way they looked much, but I think I dislike that 1 the most. There better be an 07 F-Body for the 06 model year, our 40th Anniversary. If there was a new, revised 5th Gen competing with that thing it would be more of the same for the M*****g. GM where are you??

That's it? That's the car that is supposed to set the world on fire? Pretty darn uninspiring from those shots. I want to see one in person.

I like the current design much much more.

Looks pretty cool, I'd like to see the fastback/hardtop.

That looks weak. I am not impressed with those shots at all.

On second look, it looks like a photoshop.

Besides which, why would a pre-production car be posed on a wet beach like that, completely uncovered?

The top looks digital.

Fake!

I don't think those shots are of the actual Mustang, though. It doesn't seem realistic that someone would take an un-covered pre-production car to the beach to go surfing.

You mean the guy in the shorts holding a "California Car Duster" is not a chassis engineer.

It looks ugly, and says that they want to be like 280hp range?
Maybe in NAIAS they will show it, like it says
And GM Shows a Camaro concept?

I'm not sure why everyone is surprised, that car looks almost exactly like the sketches that have floated around over the past months.

Like others have said, I'm going to hold off judgment till I see one in person. I can already tell that the retro styling will make its shelf life short. Just my $.02.

Looks pretty good. I bet the coupe is sharp. I'm sure opinions will change when we see it for real...just like the GTO.
