Hot or Not?: 2015 Ford Mustang concept

This mustang has a snake like look in the front end.....I love it!

This new Mustang for 2015 is simply a sign of what we can expect to see from Ford, and pretty much every other automaker on the planet fast coming. The 2015 concept, which my contacts at the major auto mags have been told is almost sure to be very close in reality to this concept, is to be a more vibrant and better handling, driving and riding car in most every single measurable aspect. It will handle much better even in base form -expect a skidpad of .98 or better for sportier tuned versions, thanks in part to the new coming independent rear. You can also expect a much more balanced ride with a noticable gain in response and thrill ratio. All of this without any loss of power and that always important 0-60 time. Speaking of, I believe this new turbo four should surprise many cubic inch die-hards with its 0-60 in the range of 4.8 to 5.1 seconds in a car fitted with the handling package. Not too shabby for a four banger that will bring its proud owner 35 mpg on the highway, right? And last but not least, remember that by 2015 we'll likely have seen the favorite old muscle car sporting four doors in a sedan version (as of the 2014 model). This opening up an entire new group of buyers for the blue oval brand. Yes, I know a four door Stang may sound funny now, but remember when four door Jeep Wranglers seemed odd too? Or better still any four truck looked abnormal...the way any two door one does now. As for the more European looking flair, one can be sure this is to influence the buying decisions and desires of all of our driver friends on the other side of the pond, and around the world. In my personal opinion I look at most of Ford's new concepts and think for a moment that their designers have forgotten they no longer own Aston Martin. That being said though, I love the look and believe it will quickly grow on most of us, including the devoted Mustang fans who like the current progression of a recognizable automobile that can currently be seen as a direct descendant of the old '64 original. As for me, I just can't wait to get behind the wheel of one on a curvy Alabama back road...or better yet, a future test drive right down the road at Talladega Superspeedway. -Will Estell Publisher, Beaches Resorts & Parks magazine Beach Mountain Press Alabama College & Career Guide Author, Freelancer, Editor.
