That would be a great leak, but it's actually a special Fusion they built for SEMA: https://themustangsource.com/sema-ic...-mustang-1465/

Then people need to stop *****ing about the Fusion front end. It looks amazing here and very Mustang.

People think the Fusion front end looks great...on a Fusion.


My dad has a Fusion, and it does look nice, however the front end is way higher than my mustang. The headlights sit way too high on a mustang. We aren't getting a Fusion front end. It may have some similarities, maybe not, but a lower/wider front like the Evos would get no complaints from me.

They cant possibly make the Fusion and Mustang look the same.

Mustang is for Nationwide series, Fusion is for Sprint Cup. They cant look the same. Game set match,

That's the best argument yet for the new Mustang to not resemble the new Fusion.

The same, no. But lower and widen and deeply inset the Fusion front and you have a killer Mustang. Ford's mistake was releasing the look on the Fusion first. Otherwise everyone would be raving about it.

You do realize that is two pictures superimposed on top of each other, right?

Go back to the gif that flips between the covered car and the blue Mustang. This is both of those pics put together.

Thanks for pointing that out, as I didn't realize they were two pics imposed on one another.. Just goes to show I know nothing about photoshopping techniques !

At any rate, I'll just go by what the designers who have actually seen the 15MY and hope they're right about the design

That would be a hilarious trick. Camo a 14 in partially see through material and let the good times roll.

Any volunteers?

Who is to say that is really the MY15... could be the mule covered up just to confuse the eager watchful eye of the public..

Well, we know it's not an s197, the proportions are different. Lower roofline, the exhaust outlets are lower and further apart, it has an IRS, the lines clearly visible on the car are different, such as where the seams for the doors go, as well as the lines running under the Windows, the side view mirrors are different and mounted in a lower location and besides Ford isn't THAT far into playing jokes on people. They wouldn't bother to wrap up an S197 like that to throw off the scent. That's further than they need to go.

Agreed.........the latest spyshots have to be S550.

However, I wouldn't have put it passed Ford to have shown this to get us talking, when it was little more than a cut up S197.

One other theory though.........could they have been trial-fitting new camo? It's very different to the cladding seen on the S550.

It's not an impossible theory, however such insignificant things shouldn't even be given attention or even bother wasting energy thinking about test fitting camo. I guess what I'm saying, blatantly is, who cares?
