Is it me?
I like the 2013 front clip, because I LOVE the GT500 fascia. But I don't need or want chrome or polished stainless steal inside my headlight assembly. And finally.. maybe I just need to see the car in person... But the new taillights didn't improve on what I think was an odd design at best that’s only now starting to grow on me

Well don't look @ me - I got to drive my 2011 GT 'vert 8600 miles over 11 months & that cost me over $7000 when I decided I needed to order a 2012 GT coupe. So even if the 2013 looks like a friggin McLaren F1 I won't likely be jettisoning my '12 any time soon.
And for the record, I think the '10 - '12 rear, with it's sequential tails looks just fine, especially when equipped w/my next
mod, a GT500 rear spoiler.

Same. With so much hype surrounding the car, I was really expecting some big changes.
I suppose, considering that the Camaro V6 and SS are already outclassed by the existing Mustang's, the only one they really needed to focus on upgrading was the GT500 - hence the major changes.

I'm not bowled over by the styling changes but I'll withhold final judgement until I've seen a few in person. There have been cars that I initially thought were merely OK in styling and later decided they were really beautiful. When I first saw photos of the 2010 Mustang's taillight design end I didn't care for it. But after driving a couple miles behind one on the highway I really grew to admire them. The wheels that I chose for my Mustang didn't really impress me at first but by the time I was ready to order, they had become my favorite. I love the 2010-12 taillights now and think the 2013 units look a little Dodge-like, but after seeing them in person I may decide they're terrific.
The one thing I won't change my mind on is the hood. I consider the 2010-12 hood to be the best looking hood the Mustang is ever had. It's a crying shame that they changed it, in my opinion. I'll be interested in seeing the new wheels designs.

I couldn't agree with the "Dodge-like" comment more. The first thing I thought when I saw that was Charger. :-P
That being said, I'm also reserving judgement until I see it in person. I am just disappointed that the LCD screen between the gauges didn't become MyFord Touch. Maybe they are just waiting until 2015.

Totally agree. With the snout off a late model Dodge Charger and taillights almost straight off a 1970 Mercury Montego (look it up) - I am very lukewarm on this facelift.
And darn - I was dreaming about a 2013 Boss 302 with it's '70 look graphics (a '70 Boss 302 is my dream car).

Several things I don't like from the pics, will have to see it in person. Seeing that front end made me decide I will wait until '15MY to buy again, maybe Roush can salvage it lol.
