2015 Mustang Front End Revealed

You sir... have horrible taste then and are clearly in the minority. The Fusion isn't rising as one of the top selling sedans every month because it's ugly.:nonono:
The fusion honestly doesn't do a thing for me stylistically either. Yes, design language... the Mustang always had its own and now it doesn't. Rwd of the Mustang and FWD of the Fusion has nothing to do with what it looks like and right now it looks like a 2 door fusion... However, we have yet to see the whole car.
So far, so good.
It's obvious that they are not testing the aero dynamics. Why wouldn't they put a fake fascia on it knowing that first it has to get air and second there will always be someone trying to sneak a peek. Right now all they care about is how it rides and drives.
Sorry, the Mustang should have its own design language not the design language of the rest of the fleet. This is a total shame. It's not that the design is bad but it really does look like a Fusion.
It's kind of like how Nissan has Altima sedan and a Altima coupe.

Front looks mean from dead on. I like it.
But I kinda agree on how it shouldn't "share" with another car. But its all about cutting costs of production and making money.
But we still haven't seen the whole thing or even anything close to a final look.

Retarded....:loser:
not a bad looking car but its not a mustang anymore IMO. Mustang was great because it shared no styling from their other fleet cars. This is the end of the mustang as we once knew it but with the weight savings and IRS and 5.0...I guess who gives a crap cause itll go like hell
I drove a fusion recently, fully loaded for about a week. Interior is light years ahead of the current mustang. Hope we get some of that as well.
Think the new pictures of the mustang look fantastic, but the key will be performance, if it is light, fast and handles well - it will sell

Heres the problem I have. The newer Taurus and Fusion's front end looked great when it first came out but its not "new" anymore and honestly using that for the front end of the new Mustang makes it look dated from the get go. Anyone else agree?
It's a tweaked fusion front with BMW like M4 fog openings. Not dated as of yet but not original either.
I like it a lot, but kinda ticked Ford is using the same front grille as the fusion/taurus.
Do they have a Dodge employee working for them now?

The Mustang has gotten flack in the past for being an unrefined, one-trick pony that is only marketable to Americans who like to go fast in a straight line. Ford has placed an ever-increasing emphasis on changing this line of thinking with models such as the new Boss 302 which was geared more towards road racing.
I believe Ford's line of thinking is that in having more interchangeable parts within the line-up they be able to bring even further refinement to the Mustang while keeping costs down, truly making it a "World Car" as Ford proclaimed it.
The problem I see with this front-end design is that while it isn't a bad design, it isn't instantly identifiable as a Mustang. If the Fusion, Taurus, Fiesta, and even some of the Focus models have similar front ends this car will no be instantly identifiable as a Mustang which is what Ford needs from this car, espiecially for the 50th anniversary. This is the same mistake that Chevrolet made with the rear design on the C7 in that they made it look too much like a Camaro.
I am all for moving forward with the design and refinement but the Mustang design needs to remain something special in the line up. It won't matter how well it performs if the car looks like a souped up Fusion coupe.

I completely agree. The Mustang is a special car and should not have design lagauge from the rest of the current fleet. From these photos there is not enough difference in the front of the the car to tell it apart from a Fusion or a Taurus if you saw it driving toward you on the road.
When you see the current design coming at you on the road you can see from a mile away that it is a Mustang. From the looks of it you'll have to wait until the 2015 passes to know that it's a Mustang and not another Ford in the fleet.
