The gen6 will need to trim off 400 to 600 pounds to make a reasonable grocery getter being pulled by a stout 4cylinder. In addition it needs to be strong enough structurally to support a high hp v8. I suspect a narrower butt end with smoother transitions as well as in the front with the front being an inch or so lower than the 14/15 gen5. The roofline will be sleeker in the back and a more dramatic slope on the sides.
All in all I am thinking on terms of a jaguar. Just not so pronounced and iconic.
I dont think it will still look and feel like the old school 68/69 retro that it currently sports. Maybe instead post 70's styling but with less meat and potatoes so the 4cylinder target market can be addresses with a lighter stronger v8 version to top off the mustang once again.
In summary, I am glad I bought a 14 as that has all the personalityand character I was looking for, visually and mechanically.
I await to see the finished product...
