I never noticed , but the roof does go up faster on the concept. But I think the production while it has its flaws is a very good progression. You did have good points though

Overall, I think it's a huge improvement on the current 'stang, particularly the front end. I'm not a huge fan of the whole retro design movement, but I have always thought the current model's nose was hideous _ huge gaps everywhere, lights that look like the fake headlight decals they put on NASCAR racers, etc. For me, the thrown-together front end (along with the fake scoops) was always a deal-breaker on what is otherwise one of the last true performance bargains out there.
As far as the roofline goes, concept cars don't always address the everyday realities of driving. Concept cars are designed to look really nice, but a low roofline, functionally speaking, is tough to work with as far as headroom, sight lines, interior packaging, etc.
Old car: '98 SVT T-Red
K&N air filter; Ford Focus RS shift knob. Off to be auctioned off somewhere.
New car: 2003 Honda Accord DX Sedan, 5-speed.

I like the actual new Mustang. IMO, it looks a lot like a '69 Mustang with certain styling points (like that questionable b pilar window ) taken from the 64 1/2 - 66 fastbacks. I hate the retro wheels and the V6 model. But I never have like V6....or straigh 6 Mustangs for that matter  But I think I'd love a GT and I can't wait to see what the Cobra will look/drive like. I made the mistake of falling in love with the Audi TT BEFORE I looked at and drove a few......not making that mistake agian

Back on the 'stang wagon again! Yeaaaaaaaaay!  While it's not as awe inspiring as the concept, it's a lot closer than the first round of pictures that found their way onto the net a couple of months ago. Now my problems are: Dark green metalic with 18" Bullit rims for a Bullit clone, or Dark Shadow Gray with black stripes and Factory 5 rims for Elenor... Bright orange with 18" GT500's and Boss stripes...  As for the sail windows, there are Shelby-esque scoop kits for current production ponys, I don't see any reason the new '05 wouldn't get them in the aftermarket too.
