2014 is the end of S197.
2015 is the start of S550.

There's no '14.5 model. Move along...

I think its funny how the new stang has the same name as that huge mercedes sedan. I really hope the '15 doesnt make me give up my car. It has to be mind blowing which it may most likely be. No ecoboost crap for me though either supercharged v6 or v8. Turbo is too"import"

Ford won't publicly call the car S550; it's merely the project/program name for that vehicle. It's more of an internal working name.

Everybody who has owned Mustangs knows the difference between Foxbody, SN95, New Edge and S197. Maybe it just GT owners that know the difference.

Sorry, Andrea! I reeeeeeally hope you don't get in trouble for it.

But you gotta figure it was logical since the 2014 order guide didn't include any bit on the "50th Anniversary" title, right?
I think she knows what she is doing. If this were a leak that was not meant to go out, I'm sure she would not have done so. When the 14.5 come out for the 50th, they will no doubt have some badging and interior mods, plus simple bolt ons to make them somewhat unique. I doubt any performance will make there way ino the equasion.

New Edge is an SN-95 Mustang. It's not different.

That was my first response as well. Although many commonly call the 99-04 cars "New Edge", the "New Edge" term was the code name for Ford's styling theme at the time. The '99-04 is the mid-cycle refresh of an SN-95 platform, much the same as the '10 was a midcycle refresh of the S197 platform.

The "New Edge" name and design conept was first showcased with the GT-90 concept car, and was used on many vehicles. It was not Mustang or even platform specific, and therefore should not be used in the same context as the SN-95 and S197 monikers.
