This is the first Mustang I've ever had a hankering over. It is flat out gorgeous!
Fabrizio Giugiaro, son of Giorgetto Giugiaro, and styling director of ItalDesign â Giugiaro S.pA., got excited over the new Mustang and decided that he wanted to offer his own rendition of it. The results speak for themselves. The vehicle will be on display at the LA auto show...

A glorious return for Giugiaro after all those mediocre designs done for Korean companies. And he's proven us wrong, all of us who said the retro Mustang was a dead-end design. Awesome.

I like it from most angles.
The proportions are a little off, it looks bottom-heavy. Maybe if the front door sill wasn't so high, and the windows so small.
As a concept, though, it's brilliant. I love the glass roof and the tail lights that wrap up and around.

I too really like the panoramic glass. There's what appears to be some major bulging on the sides. But if you look at it from the front, it looks totally normal. Interesting effect.

I'm with you ateixeira. I think the reason it looks bottom heavy is the roofline is a bit too low and flat. Raise it just a couple of inches and maybe everything else would click into place.

from the front 3/4 view it is stunning. from the side and rear not so much. The tail lights are not very nice.

Jerry, I disagree. It has the same "high waistline/chopped roof" look that has made the 300C so successful. it works here too.

I agree with Jerry, it doesn't look chopped at all. The a-pillar is way to streamlined for a chopped look. With the gap between the base of the windshield and the hood, it really does look like someone shoved the cabin down into the car.
