The frontal rendering reminds me of a '90s Firebird.

yeah, looks like a case of 'changing it for changes sake'. it looks like one of those 'tuner' companies changed the old model.

It still looks like a corvette but seems a little overstyled to me (a bit too fussy).
I wonder if they will be doing a ZR1 successor / and how fast will it be.

Yeah, that's just a rendering based on speculation that the next Mustang will look a lot like the Evos concept car.

I think that's a Photoshop rendering someone made by modifying the Evos. I don't think Ford has released any photos of the next Mustang.

Yuck, just doesn't flow, I'd be happy with the C6, but the figures from the Mustang sounds good.

Its a bit messy. IMO it also needs to keep the round taillights.

Im sorry but the front end remind me of the old 80's Pontiac firebird or chev camaro.

While the headlight are from either the merc AMG SLS gullwing or R35 GTR!!

And the Rear light from the current camaro??

Chevy needs to start moving away from this design and be a bit fresh and innovative!
