[QUOTE="thePill, post: 13088603, member: 119504"] The "Silhouette Innovation" will lower the roof-line a bit. Although, the gun-slit windows are not a given just because it is designed without the B-pillar on a 3 pillar layout. The roof in general will be smaller, this will make the side windows curve in and up a bit. This helps relieve the pill box feeling you get in almost every Camaro... The idea: Lower the roof-line while spreading out the Left/Right A pillars and the Left/Right B-pillars to all four corners. This increases structural rigidity and eliminates extra weight of an A,B and C pillar setup. This obviously helps with performance (aerodynamics) but also increases side and rollover protection. The term "Silhouette Innovation" is a FoMoCo buzz word like "Ecoboost" and "Control Blade" but is really no more than a "Fastback" which was also a FoMoCo buzz word because sports roof wasn't gettin' it done. As far as this concept goes... I believe that this is it or damn close. I also think that this render, stand alone and by itself, was very well drawn, colored and innovated. The fascia has endless possibilities to let Ford distinguish models from each other. Literally, from the grill back, is what I am looking for in the next generation. The headlights are OK with me but I'm sure some beefier lights are in order. I absolutely love it and I'm glad I held onto my $60k. My wife LOVES it too!!! [/QUOTE]
