2015 Ford Mustang - General Discussion

[Slash]

Anyone find a stream for the reveal?

Last thing to worry about is price. The current car is already a ridiculous deal, I have to wonder if Ford is looking to move it slightly upmarket to put some distance between it and the Fiesta ST and Focus ST. Overall, I'm fairly certain that the era of a sub-$30k Mustang GT is dead. But, if the 2.3T is good enough, it might not make much of a difference.


Also, here's an idea:

Clearing your mind of the idea that this is a Mustang, taking off all the pony badges, it looks like a great sports coupe. Ignoring all the retro cues, with proper tail lights, I'd say it's a downright good-looking, modern, sports coupe. Hell, if we were to take off the badges, can there really be that much of a stigma against owning one with the 2.3T?

Ford, offer me a "Pony Delete" package. I'll be ready to give you a down payment next Tuesday.

That's what bothered me so much about the S197 cars. The most recent V6 was a pretty damn good engine, but the car just shouts V8 Muscle Car and so the V6 was a strange match up for the styling. This, though, could pull of quite a few engines I think.

Edit:

Can't help but feel that Ford was glancing back at the Giugiaro concept from a few years ago. Something about how the headlights establish a sort of horizontal recurrence seems to be quite similar.

I'm still not sure about it. I mean, depending on the angle and the lighting, you either love it or you hate it. This car is very hard to photograph.

I'm really on the fence on how I like it but I can imagine some tasteful lowering maybe an inch and some 19" wheels would suit it nicely. When I did that to my Mustang, for me anyway, it made it look 10x better.

The silver GT looks better then the red GT. I'm not fond of that red at all I guess.

@ Official Picture

Well, to be honest it's alright, I'm not digging the crease through the middle of the front bumper at all - Reminds me of a Chevy/Corvette

Mmm the GT in Triple yellow with the 19" premium wheels is yummy. I think I was tired of seeing Red mustangs!

Edit: Also notice the painted diffuser is gone on the picture that you can change the color. But it's there for the other pictures.

The convertible is interesting.

The convertible is interesting.

That's a kind word for it... but I've never been fond of convertibles.

I honestly think some mild lowering and the right wheels will set the car off nicely.

 

[Slash]

It looks really good in yellow and very mean in black.

 

[terminator363]

I think I'm liking the convertible better (first time I have ever said this about a Mustang).

 

[MedigoFlame]

Motortrend put this up:

My very 2 first thoughts when I saw it-
1. It's a little similar to a 2-door Fusion
2. The side view is very 350z.

The 2013 design is my 2nd favorite, especially when the rear turn signals come on

 

[Slash]

I really don't care for the base model honestly. The GT looks much better, more aggressive.

 

[mustang fanatic]

Personally, I like the car. Not as much as the current style, and the back end shape is a little weird, but I think Ford did a good job overall.

 

[terminator363]

Now after looking back and forth at the new and old model I think last year's is more "symmetrical".

Can't help but feel that Ford was glancing back at the Giugiaro concept from a few years ago. Something about how the headlights establish a sort of horizontal recurrence seems to be quite similar.

Ford always does that with these concepts. They leave hints and trial saloons of styling.

I really hope the turbo 4 is available in a vert. If so I might sell my Cobra to get one.

Ford Mustang FB page has a 30sec video of the silver GT. I wonder if it'll get a Thumbs up feom V8SC. Its purely a GT car.

 

[ranhammerR34]

Oh... Wow. For what its worth, its not a bad looking car at all. In the Black plus the GT package, that thing looks very vicious. I like it, will miss the old styling though.

 

[MiuraSV777]

That final picture slashfan put up- those rims look good on it

I'm really starting to like that front end, too

 

[Adamgp]

It's looking better and better to me, but still would choose the 2013 model over the new one.

 

[DeathSmiles]

Glad Ford went this direction. I couldn't take any more retro/2005/5th gen models.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Those 18" wheels offered are very, very cheap looking. Like some set of generic koenig wheels at pep boys. Other than that though, this car is very attractive. A big leap forward over the Camaro and Challenger.

 

[Omnis]

Interior is really confusing to me. I don't know why they handicapped themselves with all the retro bullpoop.

I'm also kind of pissed that they chose Deep Impact Blue instead of Kona Blue. Kona was the most interesting color.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Ford you've done it again! Bravo! Great looking Mustang.

Really want to see what a UK spec Mustang will look like and also what engines we will get. A lot of people saying we aren't getting the V8, I hope they're wrong.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Yup, I love the new mustang. It may look similar to the fusion, but that's not a bad thing; I thought the new Fusion was a good looking car anyway. It also seems to have a 3.7L V6 afterall.

 

[YSSMAN]

I'll take the GT body with a full badge delete, in white, but with the 2.3T under the hood. Paint the rear spoiler and those hood vents black, and well, it's a brand new Ford sports car that doesn't have to deal with the fact it's a Mustang. Moreover, it takes the fight directly to the BRZ/FR-S. Make it happen, Ford.


Meanwhile, I have to wonder what GM is thinking. The new Camaro is coming in two-ish years, how many plans or designs just got tossed out the window?

The question is what will Mopar do with the Challenger? It is already the largest of the pony cars with the most weight and least sales.

 

[MoLiEG]

Wow... just... WOW

 

[RocZX]

There just something off about it, I don't like that it but I don't hate it. There something just odd about the look of it, it doesn't scream Mustang.

it's a brand new Ford sports car that doesn't have to deal with the fact it's a Mustang.

That is what is wrong with it, it's more of a sports car then a Muscle/Pony car.

They should have called it a Probe.
