My 2 cents.
My problem with the refresh tail lights is they almost look like an afterthought...like oh shit we forgot to put tail lights on it lets slap these on.

I did the same. I was in the process of building a house so the timing wasn't great for me but I went for it anyway to get a BRM 13

I just saw a new Mustang again, the car has a nice stance. My car is perfect for me, but if something happened to it, I would consider a new Mustang GT or variant there of. Now that does depend on what GM has planned for a performance package on the new Camaro.

Nice tail light bashing in a Mustang thread. At least with the refreash, I don't have to remove the bumper cover to replace a burnt out reverse light. From the looks of it, you will be keeping your '12 Focus, because the next gen Camaro may disappoint you.

I have seen a few of these here recently I think it looks ok but it just doesn't draw attention, I prefer the 11-14 GT. My favorite is still the 03-04 Cobra, it just looks nasty from every angle.

The new mustang blends in too much imo. It looks like every other asian/euro car kind of mixed.

I simply replied to a comment someone else made on the taillights lol.



And I will definitely be keeping my Focus over the new Camaro, and the new Mustang. My next vehicle needs to be a truck lol

I think the new mustang is a home run, saw one in silver(IMO the most boring color ever) going down the road and it still made me turn my head.

I saw a 2015 Mustang in Campbell River B.C. a couple of weeks ago. It sure looks better than the previous ones.

Saw one parked next to a 14 on a dealer lot

And as much as I said the 14 was the best design, I have to admit the 15 looked really mean and wide

How many of those sales were 2015 Mustangs and not marked-down 2014 Mustangs?

They stopped building the S197 in June. Mustang sales jumped in November December and January. My local dealers didn't have any 14 mustangs since around October. Your telling me there was enough surplus inventory of mustangs that stopped being built in June to last all the way till January causing the sales spike?
