Look familiar?

[KingKobra]

Common styling... Notice... the fuel door is on the drivers side. Ours are on the passenger side. I guess that's due to the new design/chassis.

Looks pretty sharp!

 

[Stevie D]

That is one bad ass looking car. :rockon:

 

[CHeRNoBYL]

I still like the original concept better. Ford should have left it the way it was.

 

[KingKobra]

Yea, I agree... about the older styling...

Here's a profile that really shows it's character...

 

[CHeRNoBYL]

It doesn't even look like the same car anymore ... Look at the side profiles :xpl:

 

[KingKobra]

Yea, it's changed... and the rear view still has the distinct similarity to our models. That's good, cuz, frankly, it sorta looked like the new Nissan design from behind!!! :xpl:

 

[CobraBob]

Yeh, I expected Ford to produce a car radically different from the concept car. Bummer! The overall styling is too much like the present car in my opinion, especially from the side. The concept was a radical change, and that was a good thing. Those fog lamps (??) are too big in my opinion, and I don't like the instrument cluster with its retro gauges at all. Would I buy one? Probably, if it was a Cobra or a Shelby model. I'm waiting to see more pics of the exterior and interior though.

Did you notice there are no side scoops on the production version? I kind of like it. Gives the side a cleaner look.

 

[CHeRNoBYL]

I can live without the concept tail lights ... fine .... but the rest of the car looks like ass now. Too watered down. I certainly hope the 06 Cobra isn't this bland.

 

[KingKobra]

Interior looks interesting... From what I've read, you can cahnge the dashboard colors to up to "125 unique colors" by some variable control. Not sure what to say there... :shrug:

 

[BLUBYU2]

The fuel temp amp and oil gauges look like the same ones that are in my grandfathers '85 E150 Van. Now thats retro.:xpl:

 

[SVT4J]

:lol:

The only way Ford gives us what we want is in dreams...like the 150K GT :shrug:

 

[SinisterX]

I dont think it so bad, just think
bigger wheels
bigger brakes
lowered
functional hood
nicer seats
06 COBRA

 

[VintagePorscheG]

Where did the scoops go? hood, sides, pillar?
Whats up with the gay little window?

I hope they give it no power.

Queer car for the straight guy. lol

Makes me glad I got my car when I did...

nuf said.

 

[VintagePorscheG]

oh yeah they even f'd up the turn signals in the front and made it look like a gdmd Mustang 2 in the back.

jeezle!

 

[VintagePorscheG]

and what happened the the shaved door handles?

I give up! Somebody drug test the **** in design please!

 

[NyteByte]

Well, those fog lights gotta go, and the whole thing needs to be dropped at least an inch. After all, this isn't a pickup truck. :rollseyes

I do like the short, stubby shifter though.

 

[ralphy1798]

I love it, i want one... i think it may need to be my 02 L's sister

 

[03 Red Cobra]

They have to get rid of those hideous lights in the grill. The wheel design is ugly. The dash gauges look way to old. The speakers om the look like some kind of JC Whitney bolt on junk. They should have recessed them into the door panel like the current car. But at least they moved the fuel fill onto the left side where it should have been all along.

 

[SVT4ME]

Don't know if I like it

 

[ygohome]

it would be cool though if they suprised us with the eventual release of the Shelby Cobra and made it more like the concept... to differentiate it from the GT and V6 models
