Assuming he's commenting on the fact that Ford's moving towards an Aston Martin look-a-like grille.

There first commercial didnt have the Ford logo to see what people thought of the cars without the logos and being biased then they made this one that shows the Ford logo



I think they are starting to run all the Fusion grills on their new cars into the ground they already have like 3 different cars using it now and IF the new Mustang uses it that will be 4 different cars which is a little too much of a once good thing in my opinions its going to make people tired of the same design too fast. Vehicles need more variety between them than that.

That fusion is one of the best looking cars to come out of ford in almost ever. Mostly because it uses design cues from Aston Martin.

If I was Chevrolet I would if Ford goes the Aston Martin route with the new Mustang I would take the new Camaro and style the front of it to look similar to the new Ferraris and take the head lights to look similar to the 458 that would really change the dynamics as to how pony cars should look. The Camaro already has the lines and shapes from the sides.

Yeah but this is not like Chevy is going to use those split grills on the Camaro or Corvette. But Ford really is about to use this new Fusion grill on the Mustang at the point your adding it to your sports cars even thats when its starting to get a little redundant. Plus the new Impala grille mixes things up a little bit at least the way it is stylized differently. I have been seeing some of those new focuses here on the road and its hard to tell alot of a difference other than headlights and hood from the new Fusion. But all automakers need to differentiate their vehicles apart more that is what helps drive sales to particular vehicles. Ford is using its One Ford approach where everything looks the same.

Something we can agree on. "Halo" cars should look different. I think making the Mustang's grille the same as their appliance cars is a mistake.
