Based on the current model timings, you most likely won't see anything until it's closer to 2014. Perhaps next year's Detroit Auto Show...

As previously mentionned, i don't think we'll be seeing anything at least until the 2014 Detroit auto show.

Well I will be in attendance during the public show so I'll have my camera at the ready. Looking forward to it all, not just the fords.

I doubt we will see anything "final or finished" but I am ready for a nice teaser.

Yes, in April 1964, and I suspect that's where we'll see the production 2015 unveiled in about a year or so's time.

What we might see in Detroit is a "Mustang" concept. Ford did release a Mustang I concept in 1962 that presaged some of the production Mustang's stylistic themes even if the actual production car was quite different.

A 2013 Mustang concept car would likely be far closer to the eventual production car reality than the Mustang I was.

Well... just random thoughts here, but, we're kinda in a no man's land in a chronological sense. Evos is getting long in the tooth and we're likely months (if not a full year) away from seeing a full on Mustang concept. I'd hope for maybe an Evos 2, or some display of evolution of the Evos design as it 'could' pertain the the future Mustang design.

Since I honestly have little to no expectation of that happening, what I 'could' see happening, and would very much enjoy, would be a US-bound Falcon concept, and if not that, perhaps an evolved Interceptor Concept, and a SVT F-150 for the street, based on the Raptor's success. Pipe dreams, but hey, it's fun to dream.

You got me thinking, Now I'm kind of hoping that they show a concept of a GT or a Thunderbird. A new flagship car that would go up against the new SRT Viper and C7 vette.

Didn't Ford say something about a Ford GT successor with a.... ugghhhhh hybrid drivetrain? I haven't anything more on this but maybe its still in the cards?

Munk, I agree and I would welcome that!

bob, given the stats on recent hybrid supercars, I'd not be the least bit ashamed of a hybrid GT equivalent. Look at the new Porsche 918 Hybrid. Has like 800 hp and gets 78 mpg. Who WOULDN'T want that?! Granted, the price is a little high on that one, as it's a Porsche hypercar hybrid, but still. The technology exists. Look at Teslas. Not exactly what I'd call boring cars by any stretch of the imagination.

Just when you think you've come across something that nobody could complain about, the internet delivers.
