10-12 inches too long. 4-6 inches too wide. 500-600 lbs overweight... Even if it trimmed a couple inches here and there and only dropped 100lbs I could swing it. The past 9 months have been a slow, painful letdown. The car will perform great, likely the best Mustang ever, but I truly despise the...

My guess is huge build up with at least 20-minute video schpiel(sp?) on the 50 year history of the Mustang, which could be awesome, followed by the unveiling of a 50th Anniversary edition. Probably talk about it being available with a 4--hp 5.0 V8 or all-new Ecoboost. Also expect pricing to be...

I understand and agree with the need for differentiation. That's not my issue with the full painted rear end. I simply think it makes no sense style-wise. They can differentiate the models without making the non-premium look, well, "off". I can't get over the rear not matching the front and side...

+1 Looks like all non-premium models get fully painted rear. Dumb IMO.

I thought I had seen it all, and then you drop this one on me. 10-spoke rims, full painted valance, AND a non-tri-bar pony... V6? Ecoboost? Who knows?? :shrug:

Does anyone know if any models will have the full body-color rear valance? I know we've seen it on one GT, which was likely a fluke, then the reappearance on the Comp Orange V6. Can anyone tell if the Guard V6 has body-color valance? It looks body-colored, but also looks like a different...

Does this Guard V6 have a body-color diffuser like the Comp Orange V6 we saw? I can't tell from looking at the pictures. Really hoping Ford ditches the body-color diffusers. Black splitter and skirts with body-color rear just looks dumb IMHO.

Not many. Most probably add them to look "cool". That doesn't change the fact that by definition, louvers are designed to block direct light and allow indirect light. They're functional. Ideally, louvers are angled so that the driver can still see out the window. It has just as much to do...

Um, louvers are designed primarily to keep out direct sunlight. They ARE functional. :crazy: Granted, they make more sense on the rear window of a fastback to keep the cabin from baking, but they're still functional and serve a purpose, unlike fake vents and scoops.

In traffic, I would much rather be in a manual. After a 2-hour session of stop and go traffic, my lower left appendage feels like a precise, friction-zone attaining, hesitation slaying, ninja.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety just requires turn signals to be either red or amber in color. Doesn't specify sequential vs non-sequential as nearly all vehicles use non-sequential. The euro-spec tailights will be 100% legal in the US, it's just the other way around that's the problem. But I'll...

I need to drive anything before I buy, but right now my prioritized list is: 15 Mustang, used rwd/awd manual (G35/BMW/Audi 90/etc), 14 BRZ, or 15 WRX I would really like the new Mustang, so I hope it drives as good as it looks. Otherwise I'll probably go used.

With the current gen, a couple forums talked about disabling the sequential turns and it was a headache. Splicing wiring and ending up with electronic gremlins. Weird stuff happening with flashers, brakes, etc. If the 2015s are simply programming, that would be great. Otherwise if euro-spec has...

Sequential turn signals = gone. I'm one of a small handful of people who sincerely dislike the sequential turn signals. Assuming the euro-spec version is without these, I'm hoping I can simply swap them out. Winter wheels and tires will be on the short list. Sound tube delete. Still thinking..

The newest GT350 leaks give a good idea of Oxford White.

I guess my question really is why aren't there any Mustangs that rally? Is it because of the SLA? Will we see more 2015s delve into rally since it has IRS? As far as road rally and any road racing, it seems the Mustang is and will continue to be competitive. The answer might just be that RWD...

So now that the Mustang is getting IRS, a "potentially" lighter platform, and a small turbo 4 option, I'm curious what everyone thinks about a rally Mustang. I know the top dogs in Rally are mostly econoboxes with AWD, but IIRC there's RWD classes. Also, I've noticed quite a few GT86 rally...

http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/stl-auto-show-photodump-1508487649 According to oppo, the Metallic GT Convertible is at the STL Auto Show. Was hoping to see a coupe, oh well. At least I got to see Vaughn Gittin Jr doing drifting demos in his current gen. That is one sweet sounding 5.0.

Woohoo! Thanks! :D

I'd like to think I'm in my right mind, and I'm considering a 2015 V6. I'm also aware that the V6 will make up the majority of rental/fleet sales and a minority of all other sales, but it still has its merits. Namely, you get near identical power and gas mileage from a cheaper, more durable...
