2015 Mustang? How is your stomach?

That's not the new Mustang. That's just the Evos concept, from which some cues will be taken in the design of the 15 'stang.

That makes sense. You can see how this curvy-roundy 1993 Mustang concept :



Influenced but did not dictate the 4th generation 1994-2004 Mustang :

Ford marketing research was scorched. Many Ford/Mustang forums were almost unanimous about their feelings/expletives. It was accidentally mislabeled, correction: Probe.

Do you mean the 1993 or the 2015 Mustang concept? Maybe it's a "New Coke" marketing gimmick.

Ford was really developing the fourth gen Mustang with Japanese partner, Mazda. They envisioned their own import fighter; aero-design, front-wheel drive packaging and with high-efficiency four-cylinder engines! The work started in earnest, Mazda even decided to build a plant in Flat Rock, MI. to produce their MX-6/626 series, along with the 'new' Mustang. Exactly like today's concept tease, Ford did not expect the deluge of outrage when the Mustang/Probe concept designs were revealed. The FWD & 4cyl engines were synonymous to econoboxes, not badass performance cars. Dearborn re-marketed and named the new model as the 1989 Probe.
