Thumbs down Mustang GT-R???? Craptacular!

This is crap. I was readin this article about the new Mustang Concept they call the GT-R. Here's the picture of it.



For those who are in touch with cars of the past, I think the first thing I thought of when I saw this Craptang was this....A 1969 Camaro SS. Guess it's the front lights that did it.



opinions?

Its a blast from the past. I like the color, but I'm really not a mustang person. My gf liked them for a while, now she is into the import scene.

Holy crap I think that thing is freakin awesome. HOWEVER, they should not call it the GT-R. They should call it the Ford Racing Mustang or the Mustang Cobra-R or something like that.

For those who say the fan/radiator and stuff behind the front bumper is too visible, that's because there's either lighting inside the engine bay in that pic, or light is being directed toward the engine. So in real-life, the internals won't be that visible.

I think the new mustangs are beautiful. The GT-R however is not. I'm not diggin the. The craziest part is that the concept has a 400 HP crate motor that Ford sells for $14,995, which they plan on keeping in the car if it goes into production, yet the car is supposed to go for under $20,000!! Does anything seem wrong with that idea?

The body style is beautiful....however the interior does not match IMO. It's just all chasis and very little cloth. I also think the gauges look very very old school and shoulda been updated as well. You would think for the amount of money they are gonna charge for that thing, they would upgrade the interior a bit. I could also do without that wing.
