I've never really been a big fan of this car, but the one picture in this article and the description sound pretty appealing!http://wardsauto.com/ar/ford_italian_mustang/

hummm... looks to me like they are trying to copy Camaro, BTW I love the look of the Camaro over the Mustange

front ends are the only thing i like on both of them. other then that those two are Fugly!!!!Stangs rims are pretty sweet too!

that was my thought too, when i saw the pic...very camaro-like, even down to the concept car's colorbut depending on price, i'd take either one!

Is there a Camaro in V's future?

Yep, as long as the Camaro looks the same as the concept except the interior.This will be my ride in late 2008:OR maybe a black one black.Er, sorry for hijacking the thread

ohhh i like that stang. Its sweet they got the same HP from a 4.6L as the 5.4l both SC'd, maybe the gt500 has much much more potential

Both are beautiful cars but give me my new 6 speed 6.1 hemi CHALLENGER please!!

i think most people would be happy with any of the three. i am just glad to see a trend back to rear wheel drive. i know i know our vibes/matrixs are fwd for the most part but i still prefer how a rwd handles at the limit i would rather be able to control the back end with the throttle and not have the car push. that said the new stangs are great cars ive drove a couple when i was helping a friend do repo work. they are leaps and bounds above the old fox body stangs in terms of handling ride and refinement so i would hope the next gen only gets better.

Here's another artical, WOW, check out those brake lights, OOh my Gosh!!!! Check out the seat BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!! and the "roof"http://www.motortrend.com/feat...giaro

The styling is nothing like the next Camaro. It's tons more like the 6 series. which i have to say are very handsome. The next camaro will be just like before.. extremely long hooded. Look at the world's best sports cars. none are long hooded. The MB SLR is a poor example of a sport car. Like top gear called it. It's more of a Grand Tourer that sports car.

The way they have the headlights is EXACTLY what Chevy is doing to the Camaro.

The stang has projectors, the camaro i can bet won't have projectors.even an impala SS isn't available with projectors. but to each it's own.

guess what, that mustang will not go into production

you're right. Ford hasn't made a product i'd buy in.. well, ever. lol

nice that mustang looks like a old fast back ummm if they made it, it would prolly have a openable hatch back but look almost the same. ive always loved stangs

All you have to do is look at the thing, did you see the seats? MMMOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Those seats look they belong in a 1970's panel van with some Skynard playing on the 8-track.

It's on my desktop too.

yea that pic is sweet, its like that movie...crap coffee..not...working.. SIN CITY!!!

Buy these Stangs while you can because if Ford can't figure out how to make cars that the rest of use will buy like the Prius, Camry, Civic, and Accords then Ford will be history. Personnaly I don't understand why Ford can't take their Hybrid powerplant and put them in their Focus and Escort lines and start making money again. Just mu .02 cents worth.

I've been a pretty strong Ford guy most of my life but this car has me troubled and still thinkin about it.So I'm going to ask another question of Ford. If your car company is loosing billions of dollars why would this car and the continuing R&D NOT be the first thing to go on the chopping block? Or do they think this car will be a profit center for Ford? I can't see this car making a dime for Ford, do you?

What's R&D

I heard on the news this morning that Ford got bumped to the #3 spot by Toyota in U.S. sales. GM is still hanging in at #1.GM might have finally turned it around. Their sales numbers are up. Ford's are still dropping. I've never been a Ford guy, but I hope they get their act together. I hate seeing any American company go under, ecpecially one that employs so many people.The only Ford product I've ever owned is my '56 600 tractor. Still going strong after all these years. All mechanical parts are still available through New Holland.

Nobody claims vettes have short hoodsand R&D = Research and DevelopmentI like the look of the 1st gen camaros, and the new concept is pretty close to that, but they suck for headroom

here's the funny thing...the only 2 fords i've ever had to 'deal' with are my wife's 2000 focus and my friend's 1998 expedition.both are performing generally better than my vibe!?the focus runs beautifully and has only required general upkeep maintenance (oil, etc.) and my friend's expedition is just approaching 500,000kms and going strong! (yup, half a million)so i'm puzzled when i hear people slag ford products.....maybe i'm lucky?

(yup, half a million)so i'm puzzled when i hear people slag ford products.....maybe i'm lucky?I had similar experiences in the past with my Thunderbird and my wife's Escort. Very reliable cars.My only issue with Ford lately is their usability and/or cost. Why is the new Mustang a 4 seater? I have 3 kids. Would it have been so hard to put a bench seat in the back? I'd own one if it could seat 5. Why is the Escape a 5 seater only? The Rav4 has a 3rd row option. My wife would have an Escape if it seated 7. Why is the Freestyle $28,000?

I think that's Ford's problem. I think their quality if fine, I just think they're always off the mark trying to figure out what people want. Somehow they seem to get it right with their trucks.Personally, I've never cared for their styling. I rented a Focus and once. As long as I was on the inside, it was an okay car.

hahah they are actually supposed to drop the freestyle and its supposed to transfer to mercury. anyway, ford's EV ranger was kick (removed), they should be doing stuff like hybrid and EV cars

Actually th corvett really is among the best in the world, but it isn't very long hooded. it's on the short side, plus is a nice drop towards the bottom. this new camaro is a long hood kinda like the early 90's town car. i just don't like it.

http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2....htmli think it looks great but needs a real roof, side mirrors better interior fabric

I saw it at the l.a. auto show several weeks ago. It had a big crowd...more than any other car I saw. I thought the grill was interesting - galloping mustang holes.

The new Challenger will eat them all! The Camaro is quite sick, though. The Pony on the other hand....never happen. I keep seeing the dang V6's everywhere...my Hemi wants some V8 for lunch!

I think the Challenger concept looks too much like the old Challenger.
