Default New Mustang? Hope not..

If this is the direction Ford takes with the new Mustang, I don't like it. They would move away from that nostalgic look and if I wanted a camaro, I would buy one.

Im all for the retro look but I think there should be a design that defines this generation, not one from 50 years ago. I'm not thrilled about this new concept though

They have to break from nostalgia to be honest. Hints of it are good, but to believe that a retro look will last forever is a dream that isn't going to come real lol.

I love the retro look. But this looks more like a camaro then a mustang IMHO.

Haha I mean I'm all for retro, I love the way the mustangs between 2005 to present look without a doubt. And I'm pretty young, but I do think that people over time are going to want to see a development of something new, and gorgeous, that will be remembered by my generation 50 years from now and then bought all over again

don't get me wrong though, I want more styling cues taken from the current mustangs and brought over instead of a very close Camaro look alike

Yeah thats the 2006 Guigiaro concept, so the next Stang may have some influences but the OP picture is not a Ford produced concept by any means.

That is the old concept car.
There is NO word as to what the new body will look like officially.
Officially there is NO clue yet. I don't take ANYTHING as truth until Ford actually releases pics and says THIS IS THE BODY.

Don't worry, that vehicle is from 2006. It was designed by some Italian clothing designer or architect some BS like that.
