2015 Ford Mustang - General Discussion

[Tornado]

RE: Fuel economy - Am I missing something here?

I recognize the methods have changed since 2011, but the V6 has really dropped 3mpg and some horsepower?

Maybe Ford has gone the extra mile and now have moved on to slashing MPG ratings from non-Ecoboost models in addition to inflating the Ecoboost ones.

Buncha no-good hippie tree-huggers.

I swear, that's not me on there... really... it isn't.

And, no, I did n't do that, either.

 

[eSZee]

I filled up my GTi this morning with 91 octane fuel and calculated the average at 27mpg, and that's with a 25 mile commute (one way) to work which is 90% 60mph highway speeds.

If Nissan doesn't make the idX, an Ecoboost Mustang is definitely a consideration for me in a couple years and if it averages about the same, it wouldn't be so bad.

It should be higher than that. Meaning the mustang would probably be even lower.

@Keef, well that's my point though either way it was an example not a "they're exactly alike" what I'm saying is I agree with the user that German influence in sedan and sport cars or better yet European influence is seen heavily in other regions.

I would walk five hundred miles and I would walk five hundred hence to be the man who walked a thousand miles to finish this sentence.

I still see more CLA in the new CTS than anything BMW related

You, sir, are ****ing blind. The design languages of the two cars are near polar opposites, besides the fact that they have four doors of course.

design ques here and there

If you try real hard you can see the resemblance between the new Expedition XL and the Kia Rio hatchback. Hint: They both have four doors, a liftgate and windows in oddly similar places.

Not sure if a 6-speed manual makes a difference, but I've seen that mpg pretty often. Most of the time it's lower.

Okay if that's what you think, I see something else in the design language of the Cadillac is doing in regards to the market favorite which is the Germans.

I'm in complete agreement. The CTS is blocky, inelegant, large, and angular. The CLA is flowing, organic, and small. The CTS reminds me of the pre-facelift W212 Merc with uglier front and rear lights.

 

[catamount39]

The Cadillac isn't that bad...

Isn't this a Mustang thread?

Considering I'm talking about the new 2015 CTS and also should have said ATS designs which are far less angular and more rounded than the last gen, also another comparison that would be better is the Verano as well (even if somewhat German already). Also if you do actually see Mercedes in the car (Cadillac) at all like I do, then perhaps you understand where I'm coming from on how American cars are trying to take lessons from the Europeans to appeal to people like you.

Also of course you agree, hence the like. See it's comments like that which make me and a few others see this as some American does too much wrong. Also it seems to offend you almost that someone would compare the elegant majesty car, and the car that is more like the hunchback hidden away in the bell tower.*

I think the CLA is better looking but that's just me, I don't see the Cadillac being that bad and I've had the chance to see a couple up close and sit in a newer ATS. They're quite nice but I'm biased for MB so it's not really fair. As @catamount39 said the topic is Mustang, and has gotten away from the topic though I didn't help to stop it, so sorry.

*by the way it's called hyperbole I do this sometime because the piece that I'm responding to did it, though in a more tacit nature. I've said this so you'll hopefully note that I'm not "twisting your words or misquoting you", but responding accordingly to how I understood the message or read it. Just like you say I'm aggressive though that's how you read my messages, no real tone is actually conveyed only the one you provide it.

Booo the Cobra Jet that can't be driven legally on streets and that I predicted would come back...which was obvious cause nothing indicated it wouldn't.

 

[Slash]

It was already confirmed but that's the first pic of the actual car that I've seen.

Ah okay, I didn't see the confirmation for it. It looks a bit better than the last version.

Those wheels look much better on it than they have any right to.

Hell yeah they are, Turtle who isn't really a turtle. I want this car now...I think NFS movie plays a part in this as well

No kidding, usually gold rims are a huge no-no, but that Maroon and Gold on the Stang just work.

 

[McLaren]

Is this RTR's?

 

[Slash]

Nope, that's just a normal 5.0.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Nope, that's just a normal 5.0.

Put those wheels on the GT350 and I'll save every damn penny I can find.

 

[Slash]

I bet you might see them on the GT350.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Those are HRE's, you won't.

You do realize that it's a photoshop?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I knew it, I just didn't say anything.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Production has officially started.

 

[yabiggoose]

Liking that grille personally

 

[Slash]

I like it much better than the plain badge.

 

[Badasp5.0]

I just hope CDC

I like it much better than the plain badge.

Yeah the "Corral" pops on the '15. And most other models I hate the "corral".

 

[Slash]

I like it on the 13/14 V6's but that's about it excluding the 60s ones

5.2 Confirmed for SVT/Shelby via Ford parts listings.
