2015 Ford Mustang REVEALED (official pics) - Page 3

19car69 · 12-03-2013, 01:31 PM

The dashboard looks way to busy to suit me. I like things a little less cluttered feeling.

Fraxum · 12-03-2013, 01:35 PM

If that is the real Mustang I like it a lot. Good job Ford! More choices for us. Can't wait for the 500hp updated standard 5.0. Low 12s off the showroom floor. Might be some jumpers.

KMPrenger · 12-03-2013, 01:38 PM

First off we don't know if the images here are the turbo 4, V6, or GT, and I'm sure there will be some subtle differences based on which one it is, so that could make a difference.

As I posted earlier, the looks should be no surprise to anyone whos been digging for 6th gen Mustang information like I have. I have stopped short of giving a solid opinion since we hadn't seen a real image yet, but now that we have:

I think the car is attractive and I look forward to seeing one on the road or on the dealer lot, but to me its nothing that will go down in history as favorably as say the 5th gen Camaro. To me, 5th gen Camaro design is iconic, but so far I'm feeling that this is certainly not. This Mustang looks nice enough, but doesn't have much wow factor for me.

It has kept some Mustang characteristics which is a good thing, but at the same time lost some of that American heritage while trying to take on more of a "global" appeal. I'm seeing just as much Asian influence, if not more than European. The other sad thing (my opinion of course) about this car is that it has the current corporate Ford face stamped on it. So instead of being like the 5th gen Camaro or Mustang which had their own styling, this car just looks like a sportier Fusion coupe. GM, if you are listening to us please keep giving the Camaro its own brand of styling, instead of going with the corporate look which almost always fades away over time and is forgotten.

Can't really speak on performance yet, but I have no doubt its going to be a killer, and will put the current gen of pony cars to shame.

My opinion could change somewhat as I see more of this car but so far I think its nice...but no homerun. Reading the Mustang forums, I'm seeing mixed feelings.

You'll be waiting awhile b/c its not going to be 500 HP.

I hope the camaro doesn't follow with a similar design.

Scion/Subaru twins

The admin on the Mustang site says it's the base v6.

According to some pretty solid sources it will launch with current 430hp Coyote but will be replaced "several months later" with a new 500hp version. It is of course rumor for now but it wouldn't be the first time Ford was done that sort of thing with the Mustang.

shaffe · 12-03-2013, 01:47 PM

1. If this is legit, which a lot of "sources" are confirming, I bet someones getting fired lol.

2. It's a lot less fusiony then I thought it would look from some of the spy photos. So thats a big relief.

3. Interior does seem a bit busy.

4. Love the more "fastback" look to it, love the rear, and side profile and some shots of the front would have to see in person.

All in all I can't tell right now if I am impressed or disappointed. I am glad it still looks like a mustang, maybe it was the hype online about how its going to be all new and how it is not a huge departure could be why I feel somewhat disappointed. I will still wait for the 5th to make a final judgement.

toesuf94 · 12-03-2013, 01:48 PM

Congrats to Ford. Looks nice. It won't get my money, but I am sure it will sell. GM: Target the new Mustang's weight and go below it for the Gen 6 Camaro. Thank you.

87GNX · 12-03-2013, 01:49 PM

The 500 hp model will be years later not months.

HeavyIOM · 12-03-2013, 01:51 PM

From the side all i can see is a 370Z. The ford Front end, and busy interior are a fail IMO.

PalmerGA · 12-03-2013, 01:56 PM

Should I be impressed? I'm not. Especially the tail end - I can't believe they're sticking with that same ugly-ass sloping tail light setup.

This rear looks better BY FAR
