its very nice but it shouldnt be a mustang. The design language is just too far removed from its current shape and its history and all that rubbish.
Agreed, looks more like the impending Mondeo/Fusion. A Mondeo coupe perhaps? Exciting times for us Mondeo owners! laugh Seriously though I quite like it!

New Mustang due out at the end of 2015 apparently. Don't have any details unfortunately, but what does the PH massive think looks-wise?

Oh look, it's a mondeo coupe!!
We won't get a v8 in the UK. Ford will give us a V6 at most, but more likely a 2.0 ecoboost and some diesel.

The one posted does look more like a Fusion coupé - which is where the V6 Mustang is priced in the States.

However the latest information is that it will be RWD and will look more like a Mustang, though with some Aston design DNA in there somewhere.

(On a related note, could Ford put the 2.0 or 2.2 diesel in there - or cross-license the RWD engine and gearbox from Jaguar? I think it would be vital for European sales volumes).

A diesel Mustang, we have had Jags and Porsches with diesel engines, but that just sounds wrong !

It looks too much live a Mondeo coupe and not Mustang, that isn't to say it looks bad in any way.

I prefer the retro styled previous gen Mustang

The red car in the pics is the Ford EOS concept. It is not and never will make production. It was just a design studio project.
The new Mustang is an evolution of the traditional design incorporating some elements of modern Ford design language.
The Rhd will feature the 2.3 Ecoboost and the 5.0 V8. No 3.5 Ecoboost or 3.7 V6 as the inlets clash with the brake booster wink
Hope this helps. smile
P.s. Look out for the Global reveal in 13 days/ December 5th smile

Don't be a poof.
Left hand drive is fine over here
I'd agree with that. No trouble at all.
