It&#8217;s not pretty.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Ford Motor Company\" href=\"http:\/\/corporate.ford.com\/\" rel=\"homepage\" target=\"_blank\">Ford<\/a>&#8216;s new &#8220;<a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"EVOS\" href=\"http:\/\/www.evos.com\/\" rel=\"homepage\" target=\"_blank\">Evos<\/a>&#8221; concept features gull-wing doors, a rounded, aerodynamic body, and a smaller design clearly inspired by Europe. When Ford officially unveils its <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Ford Mustang (fifth generation)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ford.com\/cars\/mustang\/\" rel=\"homepage\" target=\"_blank\">new Mustang<\/a> in 2014, company insiders insist it will embrace this visual transformation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>More pertinent than its changing look will be its changing feel. Rumors abound, to the chagrin of drag racers, regarding the introduction of independent rear suspension. The five-liter engine supposedly morphs into a two-liter one.

And just for the record&#8211;my convertible is a six-cylinder. On the open road, it gets about 24 miles per gallon. If America would develop her own energy resources and stop cowtowing to OPEC, that wouldn&#8217;t be a problem.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right; border-style: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=2979701e-899d-41ae-b339-9610501cebcf\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I bought my latest Mustang convertible two years ago, I planned on keeping it forever.
