Look for single exhaust. It sticks out like a sore thumb. only v8's have dual exhaust.

Yeah, but a lot of people don't think to look for that. The only big thing that sticks out from the front of the new Stang is that the foglights are a lot smaller with the Pony package than a GT...

The fog lamps in the Pony Package are considerably smaller than those in the GT also. I can tell the difference pretty easily.

I thought it was said that the gas cap will be moving to a more traditional spot.

I like where it is also, but moving it won't turn me away.

+1 I heard that too. Would be cool if they could keep it there.

The sad part is, you have to look for something to differenciate the two...Cause (and there are TONS of Stangs around me), the V6, and V8 sound just about the same to me! We should be able to hear a difference! The previous-gen GT Stangs sounded nice. But the new ones do not IMHO.

I heard it might not happen. But, there wasn't much said about it and I don't recall the source. Right now, we have to hope for the best. Ed said he could barely tell the difference between the concept and production model....so....I'm hoping his idea of barely being able to tell includes the gas cap location not changing.

Kenz was saying that Foose was with the design team out in Cali when they were showing the vert. He's got a pic posted where Foose is actually talking to them about the gas cap location. Maybe they are just trying to find a common place between the coupe and vert where the cap can be made w/out having to stamp out seperate quarter panels, or something. I'd imagine it would have to be moved out a little further, but wouldn't mean it would HAVE TO be moved to the side. That would be very dissapointing.

Had a horrible thought (shudder). I don't see GM doing some thing stupid like this, but what if they put a dummy filler cap on top like on the concept, but put the actual fuel location on the side? Personally, I hope they keep it on top, it just wouldn't look right in any other location, just have to keep a rag handy for drips when filling up.

i was thinkin about that too, that to market it to the most people, to put it on the side, so that you dont have a puddle of gas sitting on your rear (for those drivers who arent aware of what that can lead to)

You know, Though I like where it is now, What a throwback would it be if the gas cap was moved to the back of the car...I could really like that.

The Mustang has a fake rear gas-cap, and then the real body-color one on the side. another one-up...

I'm hoping they keep the halo lights, I noticed the concept from transformers had completely different lights and from the looks of it I think the concept also has 8000k HID lights. The would be awesome if they kept those.
