Some say that, or rather the production version with a different engine, will be the Panther replacement

Exactly what makes that grill "unmistakable Ford"? Looks Caddy-ish to me. Yuck!!!

The Exterior – An All-American Design
The Ford 427 concept proportions are long, low slung and wide. The car's overall profile is classically clean, smooth and unfettered by extraneous detail.
Menacingly blunt in its all-black silhouette with glints of chrome and billet aluminum, the 427 concept is dark and mysterious, day or night. Striking an almost sinister pose wherever goes, the car seems like it was designed for film noir.

“It’s the kind of car that, when you drive it, makes you look like you’re doing something wrong,” Mays said.

Sounds a lot like our MM, n'est ce pas?

Mais oui, but...our MM, they are much better looking, non?

I love my MM. but I don't believe anything Ford says when it comes to producing a muscle or high power sedan, there is no commitment to performance. In the end they will backtrack, compromise and tell you at the dealership that they will be happy to sell you a high performance vehicle, but no high performance driving is allowed or you void the warranty. :nono:
