S197 and S550 Side-by-Side Comparison
Ford brought a new Mustang out to a local Cars 'n Coffee meetup last month and let people look at the two cars side by side. Personally? I really like the new design. What's interesting to me is that the S197 doesn't actually look old. Different, sure, but not dated. Video is on the blog here.
Do you agree?

This poster over on the 2015 board says it all :
When this appears in the rear-view mirror, it says "I'm headed to the local drive-in to hang out with my buds, drink some Buds, and possibly raise some heck... you would be wise to get out of my way."
THIS says, "I'm headed to CarToys for some neon lights to make my car glow at night like the cars in Fast and Furious... You might want to give me room because I'm pretty hopped up on Monster drinks right now."
But hey, even Monster-drink glugging ricers need something to drive- Ford better hope they have enough cash to plunk down for a '15 Mustang!

This is the best shot of the 2 I've seen yet and it shows the proportions being very similar. Obviously the S197 is lowered and on 18's and this makes the cars look to be the same height.

This one pic actually does a great job showing how each little feature of the '14 transformed onto the '15.
Now, what I'd really like to see would be the same wheels and the same color on a '14 and '15 side by side.

She does, however, always something pertinent and interesting to say.
A lot of the so-called criticism of the new car here tends to be overheated and (badly) aimed at being clever rather than observant.

Do not worry about "THE DIVA" ( drama queen ) lajntx she never has anything nice to say.
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
In other words, my fellow S197 drivers who simply want to bash the new car should just shut up and stay in their "lane" on these message boards.
On the flip side, Divas comment was, as usual, pretty amusing.

You think maybe Dylan still feels that way? We say lots of ignorant things when we're young that we look back on with chagrin. No need to be age biased.

We can make it 7 if you like with the threats you left me on my inbox. Seeing that you live real close to me, I'm sure the Police would take those physical threats of violence quite seriously . . . (EDIT).

The '55 would be something that would happen late this year if it does, cuz I'd need to free the garage space and get it back to running order. Good body, good paint, just been sitting for over 20 years (uncle was a military guy, and was often stationed overseas, so my dad had been storing it for him for a long time, and now another uncle is)

Only car we have right now is the Mustang, her commute vehicle is a '09 BMW 650 GS-Police bike. That being said, she generally drives the Mustang too.

I revote that you keep your car. Love the color and look you've created.
