Surely - Its what underneath that counts.. What happens when you drive it, the engine, steering feel, the noise, handling etc.
Would be nice if we didn't have to spend several thousands of $$ getting the drivetrain, suspension, handling and tune right.

Unless you drive by store windows all day looking at yourself :)
Looks to me like a Euro spec car, NCAP rating pleaser.. Maybe its the 'BrexitStang'

Defo a euro spec.

Clear front and rear.
Mirrors.
Orange reflector side markers.
Red rear fog.

Or maybe that’s just to throw us of the scent ...

Yeah 100% Euro/Australian spec as mentioned. I haven't read through the thread in full sorry, but the front brakes look bigger but maybe i'm imagining things. Either way it'll look interesting with what looks to me like the raised indicators and the original style air-inlet below, but just bigger due to no indicator being there any more. Also be interesting to see how many of these changes filter down to other counties (rear spoiler etc) as Ford love to chop and change depending on the region.

Someone questioned why you would facelift it at this point - this is standard fare. Late-life updates usually hint at the changes you'll expect to see in the new generation, so it's not as much of a system-shock. So you can expect more sleek lighting at the front with bigger air-dams i would imagine.

Now this is what I'm talking about, because some automakers mention that the facelift model is used as the conceptual basis for designers developing the next gen vehicle. Or, they specifically develop a facelift to bridge the gap. When you look at some S550 design stuff from 2010, you can see where the 2013MY car came from.

so I get way bored easy. Using clues in the pictures I located the street view of where that cars pictures were taken. They were right near ford's new vehicle development buildings. And form the angles they were taken from this random corner in the snow LOL. Sometimes I think these "leaks" aren't "leaks" . Yeah I had nothing else to add to the conversation LOL Just having fun. Can't Wait till new generation though

Have in mind that spyphotographer don't drive around randomly, hoping for a prototype, but camp at the usual driveways where the prototypes have to drive through to get to the testing oder developemtn grounds :like:

Don't know if anybody already saw that, but the prototype has the same antenna as the Mach E - So I'm 100% sure that it will have SYNC4 :clap:

Interesting, I always thought they would save Sync 3.4/4 for the S650, but it does make sense for an iconic product like the Mustang to get it now.
I've made an assumption that all Fords will get Sync 4 for the '21MY...............Ford actually stated "The new SYNC 4 system will be available on select Ford vehicles starting in 2020"

That being said, if it's ready, I still think it makes sense to introduce it on this facelift.......especially as that shark fin is definitely different from whats currently used.

Yall know that just an xm antenna right? Really not an indicator of head unit. Its a styling choice.

New one looks very euro / German.
