I think the fog lights are one of the things that shout Mustang. Regardless of what else they do, there are several things that the car needs to truly be a Mustang.
5.0
Quarter window louvers
Grill fog lights
Side scoops
Pony badge
I think they had little choice but to show something. With sales of the 14 going down the tubes, they must realize many will be put off by the 15 styling and buy a 14. If they wait for 14 production to stop and everyone hates the 15, Ford would loose on both ends.
My salesman told me there is an additional $1000 rebate available that expires 9-3. I'm hoping my car it out the door by then. One list shows it coming next week and another shows first week of September. If so, that will be 8 weeks.:frusty:
Once I was sure the 15 would be smaller and a long...
I don't even have the car yet, but I already bought Roush axle back exhaust, shorty antenna, MMR tail light trim. Roush chin spoiler and side splitters and Roush hood struts.
Evolve the look, not change it entirely. Add more modern features.
nicer leather
10 way adjustable seat with auto return (Lincoln)
push button start
auto tilt/telescoping wheel
THX entertainment
Vista roof
blind spot integration
at least a foot longer
The Hero car would be my inspiration.
I certainly hope they don't stray too far from the current model. Everyone seemed so certain it would that I ordered a 14.
I'm beginning to wonder if I'm ever going to get it. Been 3 weeks and still no VIN yet.:shrug: I'm really getting anxious now.
This is what I kind of think could happen at the end of the normal production run and these would fill the gap until regular 15 production begins. Even if they don't make much money, the attention will more than make up for it down the road.
I saw this article on Yahoo today. I'm guessing the photo is only a rendering.

Seeing as there is a delay to next May for production, if the order banks close Sept/Oct, I'm guessing they expect a big slowdown in sales or they are building up a large volume of cars to cover that long time frame?
I'm thinking it's going to be based more on the 14. If the 15 won't be ready for production until at least next may, will they really wait that long for an anniversary model?
Wouldn't this be something like one thousand sequential VIN numbers with a code number that differs from regular production? The different code would call them out as a 14.5.
