I will start by saying that I have never owned anything other than a truck or a SUV. However, over the last few months I have been reading up on the 2015 Mustangs after seeing one pass me in traffic. I am 100% convinced my next car will be a Mustang GT Premium with the performance package.

I understand that the Mustang wasn't released long ago but I am curious as to when the 2016 should be released. My understanding is that it should/will be very similar to this years minus the Microsoft platform and adding blackberry. I don't know much about the blackberry platform but I do know that Sync doesn't work well with my Iphone 6 in my explorer.

Should I wait or pull the trigger now? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

One year out there will be small changes in color and other items (sync platform change probably the biggest) but there will also be cost reductions which could remove items Or features that you would want.

I imagine it will follow Ford's more usual release times, August-September 2015 the '16 will likely be hitting the lots.

Not that I care for the Microsoft Sync system (there is a 1 - 2 second delay everytime use the touch screen), it does work perfectly with my wife's iPhone 6 and mine. I am curious about that Blackberry QNX system, though...

I remember hearing in one of the SYNC3 videos that the system would be available in The fall, so I'm guessing that the 2016s will be out in September/October just like the 2015.

I know it's probably a pipe dream (different hardware and OS), but anyone think that there is any chance we could upgrade our systems to Sync 3?

The systems cannot be interchanged. MFT hardware cannot be changed out to sync 3.

I'd wait if you don't really need it NOW. You might like one of the newer colors. IMO, Ford needs to start having new colors. The current ones have been out for a while. Also 2016 might start earlier than 2015 did, since they currently have production running.

If you are getting a premium package, I would for sure wait. I hated the current MFT in a Ford Edge I rented recently. I watched various videos of the new Sync3 and it looks much better. It's a simpler interface and should let you concentrate more on driving, not trying to figure out what tiny button to tap.

They added Four new colors for 2015 ( magnetic, guard, competition orange and triple yellow ).

I don't have any problems at all with the MFT and my iPhone. The delay isn't really noticeable to me and I can't really see the interface being much more user friendly. It's pretty simple as it is with the four quadrant design.

IMO, the real question are the colors since they may introduce new ones for 2016. I either wanted race red or grabber blue, and waiting another year for the chance of them making grabber blue seemed silly. If you find what you want and love the color, go for it! :cheers:

Well considering I am planning on going with the Oxford White GT premium PP then I guess I will go ahead and pull the trigger soon! Love the white/black combo...
