New 2015 mustang looks like a aston martin wannabe

[olds442]

Blech.  What's wrong with keeping the old (good) style and tweaking it from time to time?  Seems to work just fine for the 911.  Ford should try an updated 67 Mustang look, similar to the way the Challenger was done.  Nothing wrong with 4 cylinder turbos (it will make almost double the HP that my 1983 Mustang GT 5.0 made from the factory) but they have no business in a Mustang.  The V-8 is part of it's personality.  If you want a fast turbo motor, buy an STI. 

This, I have no problem with 4 bangers with turbos running around at 10k RPM. But mustang is a v8 car and should stay one.

How can "it looks like an Aston Martin" be construed as a bad thing?

Bring back the 50's, 60's desgin

[craz07]

ahh don't throw em money they're all crooks anyway

I don't see the resemblance personally.

The Ford Fusion looked a lot more like an Aston then this Mustang, mostly because of the that "Aston" shaped grill on the Fusion.

Seems like ford is going to kill the mustang once in for all. Not only does it look like a aston martin now but you can get it with a 4 cylinder turbo charged engine as a option.

RIP in mustang, RIP.

It still is! Don't you guys read? See the images below. See the 5.0 and GT badges?

"There’s a 3.7-liter V6. And the available 5.0-liter V8 will benefit from increased power this year."

The turbo four is an option, just like the 5.0 V8.

Ford isn't announcing power output of the engines yet, but the car mags are saying 420 to 450 hp for the 5.0, 300 for the V6 and well over 305 hp for the direct-injected, twin-scroll turbocharged, intercooled Eco-Boost 4-banger.

 it's based on a ford mondeo chassis.

That turbo'd 4 banger is producing more horsepower than the earlier V6 Camaros and Mustangs. 4 banger tech is getting better and better.


Not to mention Ford and Aston Martin teamed up for the design of some cars, and Aston Martin was also a subsidiary of Ford.. Do a bit of research and you wont look like a fool when you say "Mustang looks like a Aston Martin wannabe" because it really isn't.




If you want a real knock-off car look at the JDM cars and then look at European cars. Some of them are strangely familiar in appearances.

 i believe the turbo4 was rated at 305hp. the 5 liter is supposedly gonna be in the 440hp range i think. the car's also a couple hundred pounds lighter.

Iv'e heard so many figures from so many different people and sources, and none from Ford themselves so i'm just going with what I believe would be reasonable for a turbo 4 pot, which is about 315-330HP.

I don't suppose you'd know about the torque would you?

OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, I would guess in the 230-270 range.
