Only one off? Hmmm... I don't think so...

Pretty sharp. Too bad I won't be able to afford this one either...

It's interesting, but didn't Subaru already do the all-glass-top sportscar thing? Anyway, I'll be happier if Ford just continues to crank out "specialty" models of the current Mustang over the next 2 - 3 years. They've already got the Shelby variant covered, and the California Special as well. Now they need style / performance packages based on the Mach 1 and Boss 302 - both of those are naturals for the current sheetmetal (which owes much to the Mach 1 / Boss heyday of '69 - '70).

Nice side Mirrors.

The front, particularly the headlights, are Camaro-esque. The interior is a knockout, but all the reflective surfaces on the dash would be a pain in bright sunlight. The profile proportions are a little on the stubby side, but I suppose that keeps the classic Mustang fastback profile, while allowing enough headroom for rear seats. The glass roof is visually stunning, but I don't think most people would spring for it ... too hot. It's interesting that Giugiaro chose to design this vehicle to only accomodate North American style license plates.

And the ad copy will read (as it always should) "Mustang -- America's favorite make-believe sports car!"

Great looking Mustang. I thik the "chop" is a little too radical and the doors are too futuristic for the general public. With some slight modification, they've got a real winner.
I'm a long time Mustang fan. My first new car was a 1966 Mustang. Just sold my last one - a 1964 1/2. Now in the market for another one. A new one this time.
The new retro Mustangs have been one of the few things FMC is doing right.
