2015 Mustang Conceptualized Below is Said to Look Like "The Real Thing"

Do you know what a live rear axle is?

I believe there's one located between the rear wheels of this car.

LOL at the positive camber in the rear!

Wow, trying too hard to ape the Camaro's tank turret styling, and it didn't come out too well:

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the tiny windows.  I will take a current Stang thank you.

[Secret Chimp]

Yeah that only looks right at a glance, then it looks like the greenhouse is 2/3 scale to the rest of the car.

I think I have to see in person. I kind of get the impression that it looks smaller than in these photos.

Bad photo.  Accent lines are not visible.

The trunk is 3" lower than the current car and the roof is almost that much lower, and the hood is over an inch lower.  Apparently it looks fantastic in person, but the windows actually look smaller than the Camaro's.

I think the rake of the a pillars tends to make the side glass look narrower as well.  The current car's a pillars are more upright.

The trunk is 3" lower than before while the hood and roof are both an inch and change.  Based on that, the side glass shouldn't be much shorter than they are now.

The only minor complaint I have with the style is the angle of the tail light enclosure...although I can see why it's done that way.

[Galaxy]

Are there any pictures of the rear lights at night?

[MX793]

I wonder what it would have looked like if they'd canted the tail lights the other way (like a shark nose only in the back, a la the '68 fastback)?

I would also really like the see a picture of someone sitting in the car to see where the window sill ends up relative to their head and shoulders.  Based on the numbers, the side glass should not be much shorter than the current car, but it looks like it is noticeably shorter.  Looking at the current car, I notice that the window sill line is flat, or perhaps even slopes a little downward, as you move from front to back before the kick-up just aft of the door.  The new car no longer has the kick-up line at the rear quarter window, which makes me wonder if they raised the window sill.

I think a lot of those pics from the auto show are suffering from some wide angle lens distortion which make it look longer/lower

From the side it looks like the front is alittle too "blunt", I'm guessing due to the pedestrian safety standards.

Also looks like too much metal above the front wheel(from the side view), this also doesn't help the bulk of the front end IMO.

This car looks way better in person

I think that's because the hood is flatter over the mid-section (for pedestrian safety, I'm sure), only tapering down in the front 1/4 of the hood.  My car's hood starts sloping downward right at the base of the windshield, resulting in less metal between front wheel and hood at the point where the two are the closest.

I missed out on a chance to see one in the flesh last month.  Every year there's an auto expo locally; hosted by the local auto dealers.  It's usually just a display of cars that are currently in production and on sale, provided by local dealers, and maybe a few local classics or show cars.  Not like any major car show with concepts and manufacturer reps.  Nothing too exciting, so I never bother to go.  I was looking through some photos from this year's show and saw that there was a '15 Mustang on display, so I'm kicking myself for not going.

I saw the new Mustangs at the local Auto Show a month or so ago.  Gorgeous.  There was an entry level one on display with the only option being a special green paint.  Oddly, it was the least expensive car in the entire Ford display...including all the Fiestas, Focuses and C-Maxes.  Around $Cdn.25K.  A real bargain for what you get.

What engine did the car have?

That's where I saw this one.  Was silver with black multispoke wheels.  I wanted to hate it but I couldn't

Considering the only option it had was paint I'd assume it was the 3.7L
