I like that TN. Always liked the shape of the tail lamp, just not the convex kink.

Mind you, if they were keeping it like that, they could have kept that decal on the TC button

How many days to LA now?

I'm guessing all 2013's will move to HIDs...Save money on specing out 2 units...also judging by this patent...it looks like the DRLs will be in the same unit

Once again, I'm astounded by your finds!

Do you expect the DRL to be the light strip on the right hand side? Looking at the grainy image, I can't make out the turn signals?

Oh, and this was submitted in 2009!!!

Here's an interesting one. Since the inventors are in Germany, I would expect the wheel to be more for the Focus or Fiesta.

Anyone seen this anywhere before? It's not in the Evos. Note how the gauge face is three dimensional. This is show car stuff, but fun just the same...

Without hijacking the thread, I found an interesting patent that uses the Mustang emblem and Cobra emblem as devices for attracting attention to the vehicle by means of movement, sound and actions related to each emblem. It's a pretty neat idea.

Not good enough. I want a projected holographic 3D mustang emblem that lives in side the grill space. Looks 100 real but you can put your hand right through it. Now that would be cool with or without movement.

I seem to remember seeing something like this a while back. IIRC, it was some ghetto emblem mod for the 99-04 Mustangs with the emblems in the grills. Think Billy Bass singing. That's what it was like.

What we know
  1. Rumors say that the refresh will be more of a nip/tuck than anything, just to keep the Mustang fresh until the new car is ready. The area that would receive the most attention would be the rear, as that is what has drawn the most criticism.
  2. These same rumors state that the interior will receive some attention, though that means is anybody's guess at this point. MFT is not expected to appear.
  3. A recent post on Autoblog said that the Boss would receive updates such as Sync, HID's, and a 4.2 inch LCD screen that would (most likely) be shared across the Mustang range and (I believe) would be very similar to the one available in the F-series.
  4. A few mules have been spotted, but they have been few and far between.
  5. Of the aformentioned mules, two have been GT500s, one of which was spotted on the (in)famous Nurburgring with cutouts in the lower grille, no fog lights, and a somewhat unusual rear end.
Have I missed anything?
