Italian coachbuilder ItalDesign debuted their interpretation of the 2005 Ford Mustang at the LA Auto Show on November 28, 2006. Appearing smaller than the production model, it's actually wider. With its angular design, it's scaring a lot of Mustang fans. Talk of it being a Camaro clone is running rampant in forums. For now, we'll just have to wait and see what becomes of this design.

1. Amazingly, I think this is the right direction for Ford if it wants to appeal to a new generation of drivers, especially import-buyers. This concept screams "modern" as opposed to the current version's retro look.

2. In many ways the 05-07 Mustang was a great leap forward. As owner of a 1966 289 coupe, however, I can tell you that Ford is not building my kind of Mustang today. Sure I mostly love the retro approach but the original concept of the Mustang as being a car for all people has been forgotten. Today’s car is for the performance car guys (V-8 GT) and performance car wannabees (V-6 fastback). The convertible is too narrow a Market to mention except do not spoil it with a complicated and expensive retractable. Mustang needs to build in addition to what they have now a ultra stylish coupe/notchback like the original coupe/notchtop that can fit 2-3 tall people in the back seat with reasonable comfort for short hauls. Three seatbelts in back please! The regular consumer who wants something sporty and affordable and carries the Mustang nameplate and styling cues from the original (classic continental/T-bird) has been neglected. Look to your wonderful design heritage!!!

The marketing of the current Mustang is all abo
