A lot of the changes are not visible on that car. The roofline is different, which is not seen on the verts. The healights/tailights are different, which are not clearly visible. The camo also hides much of the subtle sculpting differences.

Needs less wheel gap. Hopefully they're not done with the suspension.

I would like to see it in hardtop form to pass any judgment on it.

x2

but i don't think it's going to be a drastic improvement. the side of the car has WAY too much open terrain, sans body lines to really look THAT good. it has its touches that do appeal, but it looks like a blank canvas to me....i dunno, maybe i'm weird, but i'll still take a new camaro over a 'stang any day.

Looks like they lowered the rear a little bit.

Like the hardtop even more. Especially if it has a 6.2 litre or a 5.0

One thing about ford is they always give serious attention to the Mustang....which is a good thing. The car is looking good...nice improvement.

I really like the bullish "snout" of the GT500s, but the rest of it is fat pig to me unfortunately.

I do like how much their engines can take on stock internals however (1000+ hp)

That interior is apparently the Vsux (V6) model.

Yeah that's likely a V6 probably.

I agree.
I like the wheels, I like that new interior (I liked the previous one as well) even though it is retro and the subtle exterior changes are tasteful.

I always have and probably always will like Mustangs and even though it will now be the lightest of all the pony cars (Challenger/Camaro/Mustang) I'd still have to lean towards the new Camaro because that LS3/L99 motor and 6 speed trans (manual or auto) is a work of art (and POWER).
And speaking of pony cars, I can't believe that we actually have THREE of them competing against each other once again, that is AWESOME!

If true it looks very good.

I wish they had the circular turn indicators up front like the originals though.

If it looks like that and has a 6.2 I could get down with that.
