I'm just glad that at least on this mule the rear is unchanged. All of the diaper whining brigrade will just have to suck it up!

I agree.....this is just an early mule, probably testing airflow with the redesigned front end......I suspect further mules with more camo will appear in the next month or so, probably covering the rear, too.

Remember, this was one of the (if not the first) 2010 spyshot

Steve, auto manufacturers may have multiple versions of "mfg" plates. When I was at Tesla, we had 4-5 of the same "mfg" plate number. Multiple cars rolled around at the same time with the same plate number...

True. I do find it unusual that the car is the same color, with the same wheel design, and same brakes though.

I'd prefer to see LED DRLs built into the headlight assembly.......but I wouldn't be surprised to see them as small strips at the bottom of the bumper. I wonder if the headlight themselves will be changed at all. If they've done it for the '13 Taurus, I don't see why the Mustang should be any different

That's not how it works in Mi. There is only one plate per number. Those plates are assigned to the individual cars by the company, not by the State. The registration is generic, no specific info on them about the car they are assigned to. For some reason I really doubt CA allows multiple plates with the same number on them for multiple cars. Not saying it didn't happen, just sounds odd.

Gotcha. Struck me as odd too, but we had a stash of plates all the same number. We'd throw them on whatever we wanted to be "street legal". They had an abundance of random 5-seat luxury cars that were converted to electric that they'd throw the plate on so they wouldn't be harassed around town...

My wild azz, crack addled guess -- and you heard it here first -- is that it will be a TT5.0 GT500. The fog lights will be down in the jowls, kind of where they currently are, while those round holes in the upper grill will be air intakes, not for the motor proper, but rather, for the twin intercoolers that will vent out of the new hood vents.

The rear on this mule is but the current rear, expect the 2013 to have a diaper change and not be so droopy, fat and lumpy.
