[QUOTE="9secondko, post: 13390645, member: 83742"] I agree with this. I zoomed in with Photoshop and saw quite a few irregularities with the fascia, which appears to be a plastic on-off prototype molding. In addition, the grill opening is monstrous, but the actual air inlet is FAR behind the grill opening in front - and then, the actual open honeycomb holes for air to get through is TINY. almost like another front end is hiding behind that front end. I imagine it will look similar. I even like it. But the grill opening seems so out of sync with the lines of the fog openings, etc. The fake size-camo on top of the hood kinda messes with the look though. so do some of the assymetric taped on lines and plastic mashed on the various openings. The true front end could be very similar or drastically different. this front end is a little too similar to the current model IMO. I'd like to see something more angular and futuristic. the fog light openings look exactly like I hoped, the headlight lines look stylishly aggressive, but then that grill just sort of dopes it up. Hoping that maybe... just maybe that aint it. i just hope ford is BOLD enough with this car. Don't try to be safe and keep enough of the current model, etc. I remember when Apple Inc. had this awesome product called the iPod Mini. And it was wildly successful. Then they killed it at the height of its fame. Only to introduce the even far more popular iPod Nano. it was a reinvention. it wasn't safe. It looked different. It was a different size, etc. But it represented the best they could do. with the Mustang, ford doesn't need to say "how can we still make people recognize this new car with the old one? What they need to do is go back to the beginning and remember what made the car the hit it was. then revisit history and remove the mistakes from the equation, but re-envision the successes for today: [B]1) bold, beautiful styling AT THAT TIME.[/B] (It's nearly 2014.
