Very edgy design, like the FR-S; but like the FR-S, edgy designs get old real quick when there's so many on the road.

Hmm, I don't like it, I don't really like the prototype designs either lol

I really would like to see what the 2015 Camaro is going to look like though!

Normally I would agree. But not this time. We've had 2 generations of mustangs that look virtually the same separated by 40 years. I absolutely love the current look. However its time to move into the future.

It looked like the Mustang had an independent rear suspension.

I'm saying that was one of the Camaro's big advantages, so now that the Mustang has it as well, the Camaro team needs to push it even further.

At least they are keeping the 5.0 V8. If that is the dash/gauges out of the next Mustang (note 6200 RPM redline), a turbo 4 must be in the future. The 3.7L V6 and 5.0L V8 are both good for 6700 RPM.

What's better than IRS? AWD?

Reduced weight and better balance.

Gen V V-8 + ATS platform looks very promising as long as it is executed well.
