One week from today (2/6/14), I'll be viewing the pictured Mustang at the Portland Auto Show, so I'll be able to get a fix on the Guard color. I suspect that Magnetic will continue to appeal to me. Too bad Ford won't have the new F-150 at the show also.

As a DIYer oil/filter changer, I would be thrilled to note in pics #3 & #9 above the location and thread-end upright position of the oil filter, especially for pre-filling the filter prior to installation.

I never owned an I4 motorcycle, but I sure loved the sounds (i.e. little to none) of my two 3 cylinder water cooled Suzukis and five 4 & 6 cylinder opposed GoldWings...no vibes either, contrary to every I4 automobile engine I've owned since 1962.

With the probable manner in which most 2.3EB models will be driven, I doubt that the V6s will be at the bottom of the MPG scale.

On another forum that I follow, The Conti DWS is the overwhelming favored replacement for the OEM tires.

According to several industry sources, the 'standard fitment' on the 2015 Mustang GT will be 235/50/18 A/S rubber by Pirelli.

And of course, encourage continuing annual future sales.

After DECADES of black leather interiors in MANY new vehicles, I am so ready for a change. In my most recent car I opted for silver-grey fabric and love it. But, I'm hoping for an exterior Magnetic/Silver/Guard 2015 Mustang available with the saddle interior.

Are those mockups on the floor Guard & Magnetic?

So far, none of the 20 U.S. Motor Trend sponsored auto shows, e.g. Providence, have indicated the inclusion of the 2015 Mustang. So many shows, too few Mustangs.

If a HIB GT with a tweaked fuel filler door shows up in Portland next month, I'll know it came from the Houston show.

Yes, as my inquiry suggests I'm aware of that but why name a vehicle after a star cluster? But on the other hand, why name a Ford after a WW II fighter...or a fish, or a snake, or a...? Oh well, forget it...Ford also had a Comet to keep The Pleiades company in the universe.

With the caveat "...any guesses", my guess is that a greater proportion of boosted 2.3 engines will be trashed long before the 5.0 engines, or in the alternative, the 2.3s will require more maintenance $$ to keep them running acceptably.

Similarly, I have difficulty relating the vehicle name Suburu to 'The Sisters' star cluster aka 'The Pleiades'. :shrug:

Re: choosing the I4 vs the V6, IMO the jury is still out on the question of future performance and/or maintenance issues with carbon buildup on intake valves of GDI engines. With all the debate, catch can installs, etc., I'm still waiting for manufacturers to candidly acknowledge the issue and...

Being a summer tire, the Conti ExtremeContact DW would not be suitable for winter climes albeit a great choice for your locale.

Is this tire's tread pattern something new? A review of numerous tire vendor's websites and the Goodyear site doesn't offer any pics of an A/S F1 with a similar tread pattern.

Great pics...nice tech. Thanks for the post. Now, all Ford needs to do is add two more cylinders to make that engine a gorgeous 3.5 inline with exhaust notes to match. I just can't bring myself to put a raspy-sounding (likely) 4-pot in my 2015, so I'll opt for the V6.

If you consider 'price gouging' to include paying MSRP and/or above, yes there will be gouging in select markets but not all. Experience tells me that some markets (e.g. California) appear to seldom offer less-than-MSRP pricing on new releases while other markets (e.g. Oregon-Washington) readily...

Since 1989, I have owned eight new vehicles including four V6 models of two each from GM & Ford...I adore V6 engines and will continue to favor the purchase of them in the future, including a 2015 Mustang this year. If Ford is monitoring, I support the continued offering of a V6 in the...
