Default 2014: Introducing the new Ford Mustang/Eclipse/Camaro

What a melting pot of a body style. Is it a Mitsubishi Eclipse? A Camaro? A uh....dare I say a Mustang? Yikes. My 06' will have to be pried from my cold dead hands.

Exactly why i bought my 08....true to the retro concept, and not a fan of the ricer look!

i dont believe it will hold that style at all (hopefully) i really want to get this as it's a piece of history, but if it's going to look like a ricer, i may think twice...PLEASE stay retro, or if you stray away, don't go ricey

They broke the mold with the '05-'09 body style. Life after perfection is tough.

It's fine. I do think it's a little odd to complain that it resembles a Camaro though because, so long as we are in the trend of retro-evolution styling, they will always resemble each other. I mean the original Camaro was a practical rip-off of the Mustang styling DNA to begin with, IMO...

I don't personally mind the design too much. Without a doubt the new revision needs to be leaned down because even though mustangs are the lightest modern pony car, they're still brick heavy compared to the old days.

I do think Ford needs to break from retro in some ways, in order to continue their brand into the future. After all the same old same old isn't very exciting after a while.

I personally wouldn't mind if they made a modern version of the Fox body
