I absolutely love the tail lights of this new Mustang. They have depth. Features on classic cars always had depth and were three dimensional as opposed to being flat and smooth like we see on so many cars from the 80s, 90s and currently. The trend of dimension is starting to come back in certain places and the new Mustang is an excellent example. It's intricate and interesting.The taillights are almost an exact copy of the ones off 1969 models. Roofline is almost identical as well, all the way down to the ducktail spoiler. Whats odd about that picture is that the pony in the rear has the tri-bar, not seen on ANY other 2015 Mustang.

But the alternative is having red indicators, which are far less noticeable. I don't know about you but I have to look twice to check if a car with red indicators is braking or actually indicating, even on a mustang with fancy sequential lights, they just don't stand out like amber indicators.

The LEDs they have now are plenty noticeable. If you can't see them, you are blind. Some cars look ok with amber outback don't get me wrong, but they just do not work on this car.
Besides there are more Mustangs out there with them than without them.

It's not the brightness, it's the colour. When I see bright red I instinctively thing brake lights, when I see amber I instinctively think indicator. Even sitting behind a car with red LED indicators at a traffic light I have to stop for a second to process that it's an indicator. Honestly, I think red indicators are really stupid, even more so with modern styling where the amber bits can be hidden very easily if you want them to be.

When I see a red light blinking, I think indicator. When I see amber blinking, I think indicator. They both work. Personally I don't think one is really better than the other. Now brightness does play a large factor, but I think red is more subtle and less harsh on the eyes especially at dusk or at night.
Not to mention you already have a dedicated taillight so why not just integrate it into what you already have instead of having to manufacture one more thing.
I think its one of those things were you either like them or you don't. Personally, I hate anything and everything to do with rear amber signals. Some cars ok, but most look like butt.

I agree that they look better, but amber indicators have been proven to be safer.

Oh. My. God. *Chandler Bing style*
I WANT THAT.
I agree though, saw the Shelby GT350 spy videos and the turn indicators looks less noticeable than normal cars which could be dangerous (well imo)

The short commercial Ford Europe released for the Mustang was much better. It's on Youtube.

So that looks absolutely fantastic. Remove the silly sticker on the windshield and the silver parallelograms with 302 on it from the front fenders, and I would absolutely rock this car. Hell, I kinda want this. IMO, this is shaping up to be the best looking generation since the original.

Here's a pic of a rejected interior:
Looks incredible to me. That would've been awesome. It's so much better than what they went with. Probably would've been too expensive to manufacture.
I'm really praying the Ecoboost gets better than 25mpg combined. That would be awesome. Looking at the car market, nothing is really impressing me. Might as well get a Mustang, but I can't do a car that sucks gas like their V8 does.

The interior is one of the few aspects of the 2015 Mustang I'm not keen on. They had an opportunity to do something with a bit of style and simplicity to match the new exterior, and instead they gave it a big incongruous touchscreen and crammed a load of buttons and switches below it.
That render is certainly better, but still a bit too "busy" in my opinion - still has three layers of buttons crammed below the touchscreen, and the screen itself isn't even mounted high, which is where they're most visible and most usable.

And the Mustang is a model car to boot.
