Actually, it's even better than I thought...just checked with my local dealer on what they'd do on a base GT. $2k in active incentives right now

So Unknown, is your problem now that the Mustang costs too little?

Looks like the general shape hasn't changed much... But under the camo, I could be wrong??? Current motors stay... Ecoboost may be limited SVT, while Europe gets complete access to ecoboost?
2015 Ford Mustang prototype spotted on the street [UPDATE] - Autoblog

Our trusty spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype out on public streets. With nearly every square inch of the machine covered in heavy camouflage, it's difficult to discern details, but we can see smallish horizontal headlamps at work in the coupe's nose. Ford has made it clear that modern lighting technology will allow the company to get away from large, expensive headlamp arrays in the near future, and the 2015 Mustang may very well be the first of the automaker's products to bow with the new tech. The philosophy was first displayed on the very attractive Evos Concept.

The extensive cladding doesn't extend all the way to the prototype's rockers in the instance, giving us a look at the heavily-sculpted sills. Overall, this test car looks considerably smaller than the current generation Mustang, and elements like a short front overhang and beefy dual-piston calipers give us plenty of hope for the future model. Of course, reports that the 2015 Mustang will bow with an independent rear suspension and EcoBoost power certainly don't hurt our feelings, either.

UPDATE: Chris Doane reports the 2015 Mustang is currently codenamed S550 and will come with the current 3.7-liter V6 or 5.0-liter V8 under the hood. European buyers will be able to enjoy a turbocharged four-cyliner engine option, though it's possible that engine could show up in the US as well.

Actually , I hope it's very similar to this .. Different wheels and some mods and your good ..

Based on all of the new Fords, I think the interior will be nice and not the current retro crap. Hoping the exterior gets a more modern look too. I wouldn't mind it looking like an Aston as long as it looked nice.

The guys on an unnamed mustang forum that i am a member of were saying of a possible james bond movie tie-in to promote the stang since its finally coming to europe.

Not sure how I feel about that sentiment. I do know that I feel excited everytime a new car comes out. We are definitely living in the second golden age...until CAFE gets tighter.

That would be interesting. Bond did drive a Mustang in Diamonds Are Forever.

That's the famous goof where he enters the ally way on his two right wheels then exits on his left wheels. How did he switch?

I always thought it showed the car level out and then switch over to the other wheels? Need to watch the movie again, it has been awhile.

It does, but I believe that was added in after the fact when they realized they f*cked up. They show an in car shot of the car magically switching from right to left side tires.

Ah, then I have seen the edited version & not the original.
That is funny they screwed up that badly, but I mean there are always major screw ups in most movies.

I watched a show about the Bond cars a while back and they talked to the director about that scene. It was a pretty funny f*ckup.

Another fascinating Bond car fact was that the convertible Toyota 2000GT used in You Only Live Twice started life as a Coupe. Sean Connery couldn't fit in the coupe (too tall), so Toyota engineers chopped the top and turned the car into a functional convertible in only two weeks.

Was that the one where Connery was in his fifties?
