Nope...not my bag.

I love his car designes but i think its ruined by the wheels and tires.

but to continue with the theme of this thread......After seeing the latest pics of the rims in motion. They kinda look like some rims that are offered on the new Mustang gt (Which is better than the blingy crap) but i still dont like low profile.

Look how the wheel spoke magnifies the brake rotor behind it...

I'm thinking they did this for a CGI special effect to be added later???

well when wheels are in motion you can generally see what appears to be behind it. my guess is it's just how they took the pic more then anything.

HOW BOUT THAT FRONT SPOILER LIP!

Im liking these new close up pics, that front looks beastly, and the rims arent that bad.

Are we seeing production headlights here?

Couple more of Bumble Bee...

Anyone notice that the side-view mirrors are concept-like and non-production? The headlights are the same as the modded Pontiac in the first movie. Add to that the fact that the rotors seem to be false again...
And the conclusion is that this is the same car from the first movie. It has simply been modified cosmetically. I wouldn't see this as any bit an example of the SS model to be produced in the future. The lines of the foglamp inlets do not flow with the rest of the front end. I'm not saying that GM shouldn't consider making the 5th gen more edgy, because the 2010 Mustang seems to have a more edgy design. I just don't think this is anything but a modded GTO.

Wheels are not that impressive and those large caves on both sides of the lower front end area do nothing for me. Like the original concept front end better.

I think those are definitely the 'vert wheels...........and I'm with you -- I'm really like the front spolier and bumper......the fog-light surround looks like all the Holden cars -- and I'm liking that too...........SS anyone???

That's the original Bumblebee with a new front clip. The easiest way to tell the concept from a production(for me) is to look at the b-pillar(or front edge of the rear quarter glass). The concept has it angled forward inline with the top of the door opening where the production model sits more vertical, with the shape of the window resembling that of a first-gen camaro.

They look like 5 spoke wheel covers that were freshly polished to me.

I like the hood, but not to sure about the front end yet.
