Autoblog Deep Dive on the Mustang
They have already published a pretty in depth view about the 2015.

Ahh great pics, thanks for the link! I'm honestly floored with the new design of the GT. The stance is so substantial, modern and unmistakably Mustang all at the same time. Interior looks quite delicious as well. I wonder if it will have Recaro's as an option? Either way, the reveal was worth the wait.
My 2011 will never be sold but I definitely want a competition orange '15 to add to the stable

Needs work, but I am jealous. They crammed nearly every available option into this car because they had to play catch up. They've been saving these improvements for the 2015 for a long time. If you look at the technology in the 2011+ it's very outdated.
I'm willing to bet within a few years the entire interior will look different and flow better.
Can't believe they stuck with Getrag... Hopefully not an MT82
I like the car in certain ways but in other ways it seems kind of thrown together last minute. I think it will improve greatly with the little refinements Ford makes each year. I might be in the market around 2018

As for transmissions, Ford has resisted the urge to fit some exotic seven-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic or even a dual-clutch transmission to the sixth-generation Mustang. Instead, the Getrag six-speed manual gearbox from the current car will be carried over, and it will be joined by a six-speed automatic, which for the first time will feature genuine paddle shifters.

Few things:
1. I wanna see Comp Orange and Triple yellow in person.
2. Launch control sounds great.
3. Hate the little spoiler on the GT.
4. I am shocked they didn't add a rev match feature to the manual trans.
5. Can't wait to hear performance numbers.
6. No mention of HUD?
The Big Q:
With Chevy having the ZL1 out can Ford wait on releasing an SVT model? I see maybe a 6 month delay but a full year seems like a long time to wait for the crown jewel.

The other thing that I found interesting, which you really don't see in the photos, is how the dimensions have changed. Lower. Wider (especially the rear track). And the passenger compartment has moved towards the rear a little. With the more photos released, it definitely looks a lot more muscular than some of the teaser shots that we've seen over the lsat few days.
On the inside, they say that all the metal bits are actually metal... which is a big step forward I think. I can't wait to see it in person.
