For now, until we see full pictures and different models (I believe this is just the base model), I will say I like certain things on it.
Overall they progressed it nicely but like all new models there is some love/hate in that design.

Haboob 12-03-2013 02:42 PM

Threw up in my mouth.

Hated this body style when it first came out, thought it was kind of getting better, but clearly it's not.

Just like the Camaro, Charger, Challenger, and Corvette - they may have the performance, but they're all as ugly as sin and I hope they all burn with their creators.

m4a1mustang 12-03-2013 02:51 PM

I like it so far. Apparently that's the base trim. Interested in actually seeing one in the flesh.

Pretty excited about the 200lb weight reduction, too. 3,400 lbs is a lot better than 3,600. I think the effective weight reduction over the current model will actually work out to more than 200lbs since they're cutting out a bunch of unsprung weight.

Love/Hate is the best way to describe it. I think that's a good thing and that's what most designers aim for. It's like the Z... you either love the styling or you hate it. That's usually what makes for a good design.

Here is a screencap that was pulled from the Autoweek youtube channel showing the base model:

Looks really nice for a base, IMO.

theDreamer 12-03-2013 02:59 PM

Wonder if they are going away from the center fog lights finally.

puckshaw 12-03-2013 03:18 PM

I've been waiting to see how this would turn out. My first impression is that it's not as good as I hoped, but not that bad. I like it a lot better than the current model though.

NS370Z 12-03-2013 03:29 PM

I like the back end, would look mean with some nice wide tires on it. Side looks decent but the front end looks too Taurusey.

Cmike2780 12-03-2013 04:16 PM

I don't hate it, but nothing about it makes me want go out and get one. The weight reduction is great to hear, but it's still no lightweight. The design looks confusing. It wants to be a sports car but ends up looking like a "sporty" coupe. Ford didn't go far enough in either direction and we end up with a muscle car wearing yoga pants. It needs to be more Ford GT and less Ford Fusion.

m4a1mustang 12-03-2013 04:24 PM

Well the Mustang is a "pony" car which mixes sports car with muscly coupe. If it went too far one way or the other it wouldn't be a Mustang IMO.

Since this is the base I'm really interested in seeing the GT. Should be more aggressive.

The special editions are supposed to be really interesting... Flat plane crank, 5.5ish liter twin turbo for the gt350 variant. Carbon ceramic brakes etc.

NS370Z 12-03-2013 04:40 PM

Come on Nissan, build us a kick *** 425 HP, 3000 lb monster Z. And no, not a gtr.:tiphat: so I don't have to buy a 2015 vette.

winnre 12-03-2013 04:45 PM

I wonder if the Ford stick shift will be made in China still.

b15 12-03-2013 04:47 PM

So the Mustang went from retro to a Ford Taurus/Fusion coupe?

the front reminded me of the current MINI....

looks so plasticy. :ugh:

Is it bad that I logged back in here to see more info about the new mustang?

m4a1mustang 12-03-2013 05:31 PM

Looks like the GT gets 15" brakes. Damn!

shadoquad 12-03-2013 06:35 PM

the performance should be improved. I can't wait to see the numbers. And, as mentioned, this is probably the boring v6 trim, but I'm not that impressed with it as-is. The car will be fast, and I think they'll probably keep the fog light with the GT and above, as usual.

Can't wait to see more of it

NeverBoneStck 12-03-2013 06:40 PM

I would rock that in a heartbeat .. Refreshed , lost some weight and just needs to be dropped with some wheels and bolt ons ... I like !!

HArturo319 12-03-2013 06:43 PM

Looks, dare I say, foreign?

I dont care for it at all. Its lost...its all over the place. Its a Taurus? No, a Fusion! A huge effin Mini?? Even the base, as this is presumed, its not aggressive enough.

I like it.

It retains a brutish, muscle car look, but shows refined and sportier body lines.

There are now two modern American muscle cars I don't hate -- good job, Ford.

The 2015 Ford Mustang Is A Fastback Alright!

m4a1mustang 12-04-2013 08:36 AM

Not sure what the point of that gif is, to be honest. The Mustang and Camaro have always shared similar styling traits over the years, and that little "hump" came about in the Mustang's 2010 refresh, which was a reference to the Mustang's styling from the beginning.

Like on this '68 Fastback:

This is my first thought as well.

I need to see one in person and/or with more size context, but it's still just too tank-ish for my tastes. I do like the front end look (then again, I like the Aston martin front-end look), but the rest is utterly boring. I actually dislike the rear view. From some angles it reminds me of a Jaguar.

It's a very safe design that isn't all that exciting at all, especially with the fleet of Fords already sporting the DNA of this look.

It may grow on me, but otherwise I can just shrug, say it's a Mustang, and move on. :)

m4a1mustang 12-04-2013 08:55 AM

That's why I'm looking forward to seeing the GT variant. This is the base model, so it's supposed to be somewhat safe.

m4a1mustang 12-04-2013 09:59 AM

Remember, this is the BASE model.

I have to think a sportier GT model is going to look pretty nice.

StangerGT 12-04-2013 10:04 AM

This is sharp... i love what they are doing with the rocker panels... how they tuck up.

Ford is going to make this hard for me... either a new performance packaged mustang... or a C7

Yep, the equivalent to this car currently:
