They want to use that design on another vehicle model that's cool by me. But I think I speak for a large amount of mustang enthusists when I say that a Mustang means more then just an emblem on the side of the fender. It's about tradition, it's about an inexpensive performace car for the working man, it's about as American as apple pie, and it's about upholding that as long as the line is manufactured. Along those lines... who could be better qualified to breath that life into that then a home boy. I just feel that you have to live the american dream to truely know what it's like to think like an american. I don't care what nationality you are... but being born and rasied in the states goes a long way to know what it takes to keep tradition alive. You don't learn it in a book - you have to live it.<br /><br />In a nutshell, I agree that the prototype is cool looking... it just isn't a Mustang. It embodies nothing that makes a Mustang what it is, or meant to be.<br /><br />BTW: The ass end of the car is hedious LOL<br /><a href="http://www.caranddriver.com/autoshows/12100/giugiaro-ford-mustang-concept-interior-and-powertrain-page2.html" target="_blank">http://www.caranddriver.com/autoshows/12100/giugiaro-ford-mustang-concept-interior-and-powertrain-page2.html</a><br /> <br /> <small>[ December 08, 2006, 07:22 PM: Message edited by: sn8k ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>1Sicgt</b> <br /><small>Member # 714</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,11,8,21,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I'm not crazy about it either.
