[QUOTE="CobraKindaGuy, post: 1739043, member: 17748"] If you look real closely at the 05 Mustang GT....though it has a dominating styling queue of the 67 through 70 models, there are still some slight styling queue ties to the 1999-2004 New Edge. It isn't completely disassociated from the New Edge look. Supposedly Ford wanted to have some "breathing room" with the present 2005 Mustang GT style so that it could evolve it toward the concept car look over the course of Ford's six chronological-year model-year. Despite the concept car's great appeal with the market Ford backed off the concept car look to create this buffer using the Retro+New Edge marriage. If you think about it there is sense to it because had Ford done the concept car look now it would have really been the pinnacle of its potential design with nowhere else to go....and Ford would have needed to completely redesign the Mustang look again for its next platform jump. So this move by Ford actually in essense provides them 2 model-years or 12 chronological-years before having to consider making the next evolutionary leap in its design look. [/QUOTE]
