I for one don't like the looks of it so far. Another screw up from Ford as I see it.
Another tidbit of news has come out about the 2010 Mustang via Design Chief of FoMoCo Peter Horbury who in an interview with Automotive News said the redesigned Mustang will look smaller by design but retain the same dimensions as previous years. With this type of design Ford is hoping the leaner look of the Mustang compared to the Challenger which is 10.1 inches longer and 1.8 inches wider along with over 500lbs more wieght will entice buyers to think smaller is better.
“We have a car which I think is more suitable for the times than the Challenger and the Camaro,” Horbury told Automotive News. “Especially the Challenger–it is a huge car when you see it on the road.”
“By cleverness in design, we’ve been able to make it look like the wheels are further out, further forward and further rearward,” Horbury said. “The center line is the longest part” of the next Mustang, he said, “and the widest part of the car is the middle. From there on, you can tuck it in and bring the apparent size down.”
