Hi, i was just wondering if anyone had realised this before.
How similar does a brand new mustang look to our beloved E30's
I think the Americans are finally realising how design classics actually work

err, I'll have some too, plus the classic 'stang on which it is vaguely based did pre-date the E30 by over 15 years

I can hardly tell one from the other. The BMW is the white one with the horse on the side, yes?

You all serious, none of you can see it.
The old mustang doesnt look anything like the new one.
It predates the e30 i know, but again, that looks nothing like it.
Obviously there not exactly the same, similar is the word i used. Just the front btw

Sparky, with my artistically un-trained eye, I can actually see what you mean. It's in the chin, the bumper shelf, the shape of the bonnet and such. I do think that America has been building design classics before this though. I whipped up a quick comparison in paint...
