I am getting pretty tired of Ford and their shenanigans as of late. Based on what they show at the Detroit autoshow in janurary, I MIGHT get another Mustang or sell off my 2015 GT and just get a Mclaren 570S. At least with that, I'd be dealing with a company that cares about its cars (looks and...
Put the amg GT next to the original fast back. The overall profile is far more similar to the original fast back than the new Mustang is to its original fast back.
Basically what I’m wishing for is for the next Mustang to follow the same profile as the AMG GT. One of the renderings posted...
The AMG GT’s profile is closer to the original mustang fastback than the new Mustang is to the original. The 2015 is a fastback shape, but not to the extent the originals were or the AMG GT.
The new one is called a fast back, but it’s nothing but a name. Its more or less just a standard coupe profile. Attach below is a more accurate fastback profile. Similar to the profile of the new AMG GT.
Let’s not confuse brand recognition/awareness with “heritage.” Same reason people know about Walmart is the same reason I’d say the vast majority of people know about the mustang, it’s popular and it has been around for a while. I’m sure a lot of people buy mustangs for the same reason as well...
The 18 has more sharp angles and straight lines up front compared to the softer and rounded lines on the 15-17. The lines on the 18 do not flow well with the rest of the car. It tries to be overly agreesive and muscular but falls short.
This is based on the old assumption that the majority of Mustang buyers are still baby boomers in their 60s, but they are not. People buy the Mustang because it’s a cheap and affordable sporty car with brand recognition, not because it looks like some cars that were made when their parents were...
The mustang can’t be stock in the past forever. The next generation will be hybrid, that’s a whole new thing. Accordingly, it should also adopt a whole new design philosophy. We aren’t in the 70s and 80s anymore, it’s time to adapt and appeal to a more broader audience. One of the things I hate...
I’m not even mad that Ford is trying to rip off someone else’s design. At least it’s a great looking design. I hope the next gen mustang looks at least somewhat close to this.
