It's already been touted as a Monaro replacement
Would I buy one? Probably not.

Window line from a Jap car.
Wheels inspired by the FG-X...
Headlights from a VW....

If it were rear wheel drive I'd at least give it a chance, but it would want to at least have a turbo V6 or bigger.

Yes, looks good, depending on engines available.

Doesn't matter that its not a ford... its GM close enough.

Looks more like a muscle car with a decent stance compared to the relatively mundane new Mustang. Yep; I'd buy one... if.
