new mustang uncovered

Thanks to Blueblood from BON.

 

Hey....cat's out of the bag now! Is that a photoshop of the exterieor? Meets all the first hand accounts to a T.

Interior is looking good. Missing a few gages though (oil pres, voltage). Can't wait to see it in person.

 

That is the real thing

 

I say at first the car will sell like crazy, after 2 or 3 years, sales with drop. where do you take the car from here?? you'd almost have to do a total redesign.

hmmmm 2 or 3 years..... just in time for a new Camaro

 

OOOHHHHH THAT LOOKS GOOD. The body is definitely muscular. Kudos to the guy who put the bulge into the sides and hood.

 

Man, I don't know if I like that rear end, but the front end is ok. I guess I'll need to see one in person to decide.

 

I say the same thing.But most new "cars" drop in that time frame.I hope the sales numbers tell a different story.

 

Hopefully those god-awful fog lights in the grill will be gone. So I guess that is the GT. I noticed they are still using the old wheels. I guess that is about what I expected. I think they really missed out by going the retro route...........................hey, that rhymed.

 

Look through the windshield in the center shot and you can see a bit of a convertible.

Also...save the pics if you can. Who knows when they'll be taken down.

 

Great find!

Is that a base V6 or a GT?

I noticed that this one has duals...where that last pic we saw, seemed to have a single exhaust. Also...does anyone else think that those are some big *** brakes?

 

The interior looks pretty nice. I still haven't warmed up to the all out retro look though. Heck, even the gauges are retro.

Interior is a big improvement; rest looks good, close to concept.

 

While I wont argue that the 05 Stang is a clean design and will be built well, but its about as exciting to look at as a 1994 Volvo station wagon.

 

Blacked out headlight pockets huh?? Anyway I agree that it will sell alot at 1st if it doesn't break or get a new recall every week, especially among M*****g crazy enthusiasts. But then comes the retro sales drop. Maybe they'll make a retro 80's 5.0 next or something.

 

The body looks a lot like the CAD drawings we've seen (the one that was said to have leaked from suppliers a year or so ago).

I can't say whether i'm a big fan of the look just yet (i was a big fan of the silver concept coupe). I'll hold off further judgement till the whole car is uncovered and the GT/Mach models shown as well.

Z284ever, i think even the next base cars exhaust will have the dual look (dual muffler, maybe Y pipe). The engine going into the 2005 is said to be a 215hp duratec, and a 3.5 Dohc in 06. All of the cars currently equipped with the 3.0 Dohc duratec (mazda 6, Taurus, etc...) have dual outlet exhaust.

The brakes could be huge, or the wheels small. Those look like the bullitts though, so they must be 17's. If so, i'd say those brakes are atleast 13.X's since they seem to fill the wheel up really well.
