Could this be the next Ford Mustang?

Ford Motor Co. engineers and designers working on the next generation of the Ford Mustang face a tough quandary of how to update the original pony car for the 21st century. According to the Wall Street Journal, the new Mustang may look much like this: the Evos concept shown last year in Europe. It's a radical change, but any new Mustang will need more global appeal than ever to survive.

While the current generation of the Mustang remains a strong performer on the street and the sales results, it's showing its age. Its underpinnings date to the Lincoln LS sedan unveiled in 1999; its solid-rear axle increasingly seems quaint compared to the Chevy Camaro, and the retro styling trend that it spurred at the beginning of the decade has passed.
