I knew it! They made the roof taller! It looks even more like the original now! Several of the body panels have been changed to look more like the '67 it seems...

Awesome. Now, they just need to widen the rear, like the p-type, and it'll look even more sinister!!! Awesome that it's coming around.

Here's a size comparison for those of you who think it's so huge....



OMG those Mustangs are so huge too.

I hope they don't plan to roll them out the factory with those skinny azz tires. I get the feeling that alot of the haters in their 4th gens aren't gonna be changing their minds about the 5th gen after seeing these picks.

Wonder when they're gonna do the final production unveiling.

Look at the size of the rims on the mule on the end. They look not only taller but wider. I'm guessing that's the V8 and the road pics are of a V6.

The mustang looks taller. They seem pretty close on width though.
