Physically yes.

The slide at the reveal showed the engine and cover already.

I'm sure it'll look better in final form and the body is colour matched etc.
I remember seeing the 2005 like this.

You don't have to spam the same link in multiple threads either.

In my opinion, the placement of the back up lights under the bumper destroy the rear look.

Some People will B¡tch About Anything... So one small element Completely Ruins the Entire Car... SMH

I guess that goes for All Classic Mustangs as Well since Their Backup Lights were All Mounted Below the Bumpers...






It wasn't until 1971 that Ford integrated the Backup Lights into the Tail Lamps.

Because Ford has some sense... That Thing is Hideous! It's a Horrible Abortion of a Caricature. That would definitely KILL the Mustang.

But instead of having just a single one in the center below the bumper, I think it would look even better if they put one on each side like the 65-70 models had

Well unlike the earlier Mustangs, the 15's reverse light is placed in the center. I do think it would better if it were similar to the old lights

things evolve....i think it looks sleek and purposfully placed where it is...
it would take away from the affect in the actual taillights if it were placed with them.
i just hope i can afford one when they come out cause im really looking forward to owning a CO one. i think the rear is the best looking part of the car...i first saw it and totally reminded me of the old 67-68 fastbacks.

Absolutely!! It's lost all that butch vibe. Looks way too mainstream to me. The back I think I could probably get used to, but the front is just awful. I am glad I got myself a 2014 GT/CS before it's too late!!

Unreal, It would seem that most in these threads wanted:
Something totally new.
But it had to MUSTANG.
Had to be completely different BUT had to have Mustang DNA.

The 2015 Is all that. It call back to the 67 and 68 with a Fast back the carries to the tail of the car. the 65 and 66 fastback stopped short like 2005 through 2014.

If you look at the 65 - 68 Fast backs they really are very simple cars. they are clean, sleek and not "BUTCH" at all. they are however SEXY and beautiful.
the thing about the Mustang is it stood out even though it really was a clean simple car at its core.

The mustangs sales have been up against the Camaro and Challenger for more than a few years now and the only way to change that is to move forward. Ford could easily make a modern Mustang that looked like a 65,69,70 Whatever but the bottom line is it would only sell to a hand full of people for a short time.

I love the new car. And I think, it will carry the flame for the next generation.

Just my thoughts.

I have tried to like it, I just can’t so far. Maybe when I see it on the road I will think differently. So far lovin the 13-14 style much better.
