Change can be good and change can be bad. Beloved name plates like Mustang, Camaro, and Corvette have had excellent designs and design mistakes. However, people WANT to love them. People get used to their poor design aspects and say it "grows on them" so they can convince themselves they...
Ford still offers sedans and hatchbacks in other markets. There is growing evidence to support ford may also walk back their decision to get rid of cars in the U.S. an insider named ExplorerDude on the blue oval forums has stated ford is considering offering the Lincoln zephyr in the states, and...
You assume a design that needs to be seen in person or grow on someone is a bad design. This simply isn't the case. Our ape brains are hardwired to rejected and dislike change. Doesn't matter what that change is, we almost always dislike it, or are at least afraid of it. But once we adjust to...
Trust in Jem, based on what he's said, it seems like when he initially saw the design, he was underwhelmed. But his comments imply he's come around. He's the only one on this site who's seen the s650's entire design (that we know of). If he says it looks great, who are we to doubt him, none of...
Exactly, it looks good from the leaks we've seen so far, and in terms of performance, there's only so much you can do when you have to engineer something to be relatively affordable. If the stock s650 doesn't perform as well as people want, there's nothing that will stop them from adding...
Personally, I love what we can see this far. Nice upgrades, looks different enough, and refrains for relying on tired design trends like oversized grills. We haven't even seen the side or the rear yet. Based on what insiders have said, it seems like the front end looks a lot like the s550, and...
Been saying this
Been saying this myself. I really love this approach, as it allowed the design to have that additional agression, without the tackiness of actually making the grill opening that big.
I think what he's getting at is it will be sleeker, and more modern looking than the s550. I don't think he's trying to suggest that it's going to look exactly like that rendering, as we know that isn't going to be the case.
Yeah, fingers crossed. I'm assuming ford with either post like a pic of a gt500 with a caption happy mustang day! Or do nothing. I hope they do something, fingers cross but as tt said, but I won't be holding my breath lol.
I think my biggest issue with these cars is the massive overhangs. I want to say it was Chip Foose who did a sema build of one of these. It looked so much better with a shortened front end.
Yeah, one of my uncles owned a pacer, another owned a bright yellow pinto wagon with fake wood paneling. People always say they don't make 'em like they used to. Thank God for that.
I really liked how you mentioned ford doing something for official mustang day this Sunday. Especially with these recent leaks, there's no reason they shouldn't at least give us a teaser or something.
What's your address? I'm going to buy you some old man canes to shake at the sky. I'll also throw in a megaphone so you can shout at those little brats to get off your lawn.
