Love it. How cool would it be to own an original T5. But why was it called the T5?

What a beautiful car, one my favorites. I one day want to have one of those. I am glad she has kept the car all those years. I am in my 3rd mustang and I can't get rid of them so I give them to my younger brothers, good thing I have another lil brother to take over the one I have so that I can jump into the 2015.

Ford changed the model name from mustang to t5 in Germany as the P-51 mustang was flown in battle during WWII and wanted to avoid any negative public reactions to the name.

I suggest you read the comments Ford. It's not too late to pull the plug on this campaign.

I have to admit, I'm very, very disappointed with these 16 second videos.

At least the first bunch of countdown videos were actually related to the Mustang.

:(

I'm seriously disappointed with Everything about this Marketing Campaign. Especially considering they made it sound like a Big Roll Out Campaign with Teasers over a 15 day period leading up to the Debut of the 2015 Mustang. Hell this is a Huge Milestone, not many cars can claim to have been in Continuous Production for 50 Years, and They're posting art films? The 2010 Sneak Peek Campaign was Much More Exciting and that was just a Refresh. Sadly I'm begining to think I'm going to be a bit disappointed when they actually do Reveal the car. This should have been Exciting, but it's Not.

Hold your horses guys. Let's not bring out the pitchforks yet. I agre the marketing is disappointing but it shouldn't be a reflection on what we see in a few weeks. If they show a beautiful car all will be forgotten completely.

I agree 100%. These videos seems to be a bunch of film students using any social channel they can to be seen. Why the heck would Ford even use them -- did they not get any "real" videos? Did they just give up, or what?

Regardless of how awesome the car is or isn't, there has been nothing done in to make me think something exciting is happening on December 5th. The 50th anniversary of Mustang, and this is what we get? And it isn't only about what we get to see -- this marks 50 YEARS -- THEY(Ford) should be excited about this!

You gents ever chase a lady over and over, always getting just a tease(if that even!) that by the time she wants to come round you're just no longer interested?? Me neither, but this is sure as hell happening with this marketing. Unfortunately I find myself visiting the Genesis Coupe and Corvette forums more than this one now...

yanks1 · Nov 25, 2013

this campaign is disappointing to say the least. And I thought we would get additional teaser photos by now after the initial one of the running Pony.. oh well,

Terrible marketing, the car better be a homerun.

They've lost their minds. These have all been terrible.
