You are forgetting that this is a PRE-Production Vehicle - and many items in this vehicle will not be indicative of the final Production car. For example, the RHD center console was probably not yet available when this car was hand assembled.
This is it though, there is no change to the center console.

It would be nice if those tail lights were legal in the states. The white would look better IMO with my black car.

Well my fellow Mustang lovers, this is very interesting, as the Dealer part of the window sticker says SYD, which looks like an abbreviation of Sydney !! Any how, of more importance to me in Kiwi land; was seeing a yellow 2015 muzzy at our local late model muscle car dealer. I couldn't stop to find out much, but you could bet it was "left hook" as we call it. The dealer told me months ago that they would have one way earlier than the Licensed FORD dealer just a 100 yards down the road. As far as I know, us Kiwis are allowed a left hand steering vehicle, as long as the owner doesn't sell it within 2 years. The FORD dealer, of course, will be selling 2015s in the "proper" right hand steer !!

^^^ I think its "9YD", doesn't look like an S to me.
It's definitely "9YD" as can be seen in larger font in the "Dealer No." box over to the right.

Looks like ford forgot to move the cup holders over to leave room for your arm on the RHD. :doh:

I'd like to pick up the RHD drivers side premium interior my color in order to complete my interior lighting.... Think it'll be difficult to link up to the one in there now?

All the comments about the cup holders & handbrake being on the wrong side for RHD, i thought exactly the same .. until the weekend when i got into the wifes 2014 Renault Clio, looked down and the hand brake is on the left with the cup holders next to it on the right. Granted there isn't as big a tunnel as on the Mustang however the layout is the same.
Didn't have anything to compare that to in my current 2011 Volvo S60 as it has an electronic hand brake.

However the Clio cup costs just over half the price of a mustang so I can kinda see (still not right if commited to making it RHD) why Renault cut costs but for ford to make this big thing about the mustang being global and then copping out on things like changing stuff to suit the global market is just silly

I have an MG TF which also has the hand brake on the wrong side - never causes me a problem...

It's not the handbrake that bothers me, it's more the cup holders being in the way of the gear stick if you have a bottle of water or just want to lean your arm on the "arm rest" oh wait you can't because your elbow will be in the cup holder lol
