“We have a car which I think is more suitable for the times than the Challenger and the Camaro,” Horbury told Automotive News. “Especially the Challenger–it is a huge car when you see it on the road.”

“By cleverness in design, we’ve been able to make it look like the wheels are further out, further forward and further rearward,” Horbury said. “The center line is the longest part” of the next Mustang, he said, “and the widest part of the car is the middle. From there on, you can tuck it in and bring the apparent size down.”
