As I thought, that just ruined the car for me.

Looks like no keyhole on the rear...
Hopefully they have an interior release now, not just the fob...

The lights..I actually like.
But you still can't see the lower corners of the light (which from the sketchs seem to have a sharp angle up)

Spoiler delete... yeah, no kidding.

I'm not in love with the tail-lights but I don't dislike them either, and for me they are no better or worse than the existing tail-lights. I'm not crazy about the spoiler either, but again I'm not in love with the current models spoiler and would likely opt for spoiler delete on either generation making this a non-issue.

In my eyes the new cars backside is a wash with the old models rump thus far....it's the front fascia I'm hoping really stands out. Total 05-09 versus 10+ tally for me thus far

Rear fascia: tie

Side-view mirrors: 2010+

Wheels: 2010+

This is the only shot i have seen of the 2010 that i am not super happy with. It is too hard to see since you need to see the complete design of the entire car before passing judgement on a small part.

It almost looks like the tails could wrap around like there was speculation about. I hope they don't but it almost appears that way.

It looks like a photochop to me.... the lines are bad over the driverside tail light and the trunk seems to have shrunk right into the top

If you look close you can see the camo is just stick on, so a keyhole could be hidden under it.

Its not in the badge for sure.
can't see where else it would be without looking dumb.

I'm going to guess FOB/button release inside.

You guys must be able to see things I can't. All these camo'd pics that you all comment on leave WAY too much to the imagination for me to really judge what's underneath.

The tail lights are pretty bad and need to go. It looks like they really haven't done much with the back though. That's the one part of the car that needs a little help. It seems like all the work went into the front with is the strongest part of the car.

Every new pic I see makes me feel more fortunate to own an 05.

Gotta see it w/o camo before final judgment. Still too vague...

I've never been that huge a fan of the current rear, hell rears seem to be the primary weak point of most cars these days, so the rear not lighting my fire doesn't hurt much. The overall look and the front clip are much more important.

I agree. I'm not a big fan of the current rearend either. I was hoping the refresh would improve on the looks but I'm not encouraged. I much prefer a ducktail spoiler over what we have now, but everything in the pics just look...mishapen and ill-fitting.

eh.. lights are lights.. i'm not a fan of these lights, but they're easy to replace. if they're as ugly as we think they are when the car is released, i'm sure there will be plenty of aftermarket alternatives.

so far my only complaints are the taillights and headlights.. nothing $200-400 can't fix. i think what really matters is: a) the body panels (probably good, i trust ford with this), b) the engine (we know it will be better), c) interior (looks more refined to me, i like it)

lights are nothing..

I don't see anything wrong with the spoiler as shown. I need more pictures to make a conclusion.

Yeah, I'm not sure why people are making a big deal about how "big" the spoiler is. It doesn't appear to be any bigger than what we have now. In fact it looks smaller to me...

Not exactly loving the back end, but that's not a deal breaker.
