You can tell the influence on design is to appeal to the global demographic. They sucked a lot of the american design out of it. The coupe really looks a lot like the 370Z from the side and the head lights feel like they have a strong Japanese design influence as well. Reminds me of Infinity's.

I don't like it. The interior seems to be a carry over of the current car with slight tweaks and most likely better materials. The real changes for it are how it will perform. My guess is it will do a lot better than the current car. With about 200lbs less weight and the addition of the IRS along with small bumps in power for the existing powertain I'm sure it will be the quickest and best handling Mustang yet.

Knowing what has gone on with the 6th gen Camaros alleged platform mate the ATS I think GM will be in good shape performance wise. The weight issue will be gone and drastically different and they will most likely put the LT1 into in which will boost the performance along with what ever other adjustments they do to the handling. GM has the goods to do a turbo 6 or 4 if they feel customers would buy it. Really it's gonna come down to styling. If GM nails it they will steal the domestic sales lead again, but they might also give up the international sales to Mustangs broader approach in design. I'll take it.
