2015 Mustang observation - Page 2

It's the progression of moving the car for world wide sales. As it goes global it becomes a design of compromises and that's what so many cars all start looking similar.

Now if you citied some Aston Martin cues, (which Ford owns so they can pretty much do that), on the new Fusion, then you might have a mucg more solid case.

These cars similar? I don't see it. BTW, I'm equally puzzled as to why you would post this thread in the General 5th gen Camaro forum?

Agreed - too many windows open at once... lost track of location.

My mistake

The Volvo doesn't have mirrors lol

Well they are both coupes with wheels and see through window glass, but other than that, I am struggling to see the similarity.

Doesn't look like a race car... Or muscle car

Good observation. They both have black tires, 4 wheels, and 2 doors.

No clue what you're looking at but these two look nothing alike.

They are both red and have 4 wheels...

And they're both cars. Don't forget that one.

When i seen this 2015 mustang in person at the auto show i threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Finally saw it last night... the "Guard" is at the Ft. Lauderdale Int'l Auto Show which shows thru Sunday. The interior is very nice. Looks high quality. The exterior is obviously the most subjective... I like the silhouette and the fastback rear, while the front is just so-so. Guard is a subdued but cool color though and basically overall it looks better in person than in photos. This looks like a base premium model, probably a V6. It's a prototype so it stays locked... can't sit inside.

Okay... they both have round headlights... both have the "hook" trim on the side... both have two side glasses... both have chrome bumpers... both are Swedish... both have inline- 12s... both have staggered 20"s/ 19"s on five- spoke alloys... both run on diesel... both--- wait, what?

Okay, just joshing... the OP has already confessed to a brief moment of delirium, perhaps after a mild head injury or chemical ingestion, so I can't be too harsh here. Hey, happens to the best of us. Heck, I accidentally waved at a new Mustang the other day, thinking it was a Chevy.
