I m trying....keep looking but I just don t see a clean end to pick it up by. Chaz got the general styling cues but the final product lost the ball in the execution for me. Too tall and stubby. Gun slit outward viz. Hope the pictures here are not properly proportioned.
I'm kinda bummed....had hoped the '15 would pick up some class from the Aston. This thing, as depicted here, looks a little on the pudgy side (even if they did shave some weight off).
Had a Mk VIII years ago....loved it. Haven't seen anything like it since from Lincoln. Just luxo-front drive midsize clones from the Ford stable and trucks.
OK how about this....4.9L inline six based on the old 300 laid over slightly on it's side, all alloy twin/cam twin plug, DI, variable valve timing, dry sump with twin eco-boost set up. Oh crap, it did specify V8. Man, you think an old Jag sounded sweet!
I wouldn't be so quick to make generalizations about turbos... my SHO has very little (almost imperceptible) lag and it can humiliate a lot of NA high performance machines, especially when you get up above 7,000 feet. I had a Mini Cooper S with a manual for years and it provided good engine...

I guess I have a set of trigger points to buy.....at least as much hp as the Boss (444) and a suspension/chassis upgrade similar to the 1LE that Camaro offers or the former track pack to include brakes, slightly higher numerical gears, bars/shocks, wider wheels (staggered would be nice), and...
I, for one, would be perfectly happy to have a performance car without paying any additional royalties to Shelby...let the money go to the goodies and not the name.
Phil Souza in Sparks, NV. Anxiously waiting to see what performance variants are going to be offered in 2015 model year. Currently own a 2011 SHO PP and a 1964 Cobra USRRC comp roadster replica. Waiting to replace the SHO.
