It's auto week mag, and then automobile mag YouTube channel, so two separate sources. The magazine is dated Dec 9th so it looks like it got sent out early. I don't know why they decided to photoshop it, maybe they thought it filled out the cover better. We obviously won't know 100% til we hear it direct from ford, but it's highly highly unlikely that these are fake. Especially after what just happened with the wrx release.

Front end isn't great but that side profile with the fastback is greatness.

Ford would have come up with something special before i would even think about trading in my Mustang........................They have........I love everything about the 2015. If i get a good trade in $$$ i'll be ordering me a GT. My wife loves it also. She thinks it looks 'a little' like a 911 from the rear end picture, not to me though . I think i read the GT with some kind of track option beat the Boss on an un named track. I think Ford must have put a good IRS on the 2015's.

Yep I read that too! Should be expected though since the Camaro version of the track pack already beats the boss. I can't wait to order a 2015 with track pack, hopefully recaros are still an option. That's the one thing I miss in my current car.

I'm hoping x plan is available too.. I don't feel like paying dealer mark ups lol

Funny you post this because a buddy of mine at work saw me looking at the leaked pic of the profile and said "Y'know, it looks kinda like an Accord coupe".

I hope the general populace doesn't share his opinion!

Meh... prefer my 2012 and will get a 14 GT500 but to each their own. It's not bad looking certainly better looking than the Camaro, just not my style.

A lot of the subtle details that give sports cars their "edginess" are difficult to see in photos. They always look better in person. I imagine nobody will be saying it looks like an Accord in person except for maybe...Accord owners lol.

But yes, good job Ford...that car looks incredible. I'll be waiting for the SVT model too but I feel much better knowing that the car has been well designed.

If i do buy a 2015, i'll get to use the A plan. My brother-in-law retired from Ford. We got to use it on our new Ford Edge, saved several thousand dollars

I'll be looking into getting the track pack too. I'm sure you won't be able to get it with an automatic so my wife said it would be fine with her to get a manual transmission. My truck in a 5 speed manual, she does good with it.

Overall, very very nice. A few initial thoughts:

A great contemporary update of the Mustang DNA - fresh and current but very much a Mustang.

Rear end is still its weakest point, again looking a bit droopy and bottom-heavy and lacking overall design clarity.

Front end is very good and shows that the Fusion/EOS/kinetic design can render an excellent Mustang nose.

Side windows remind me a lot of the new Vette, a good design but perhaps a shame that they're so close.

Hard to tell for sure given the pics, but the interior looks like a great modernization if, like the rear, lacking a touch of overarching design clarity and cohesion, i.e., a bit of a lose agglomeration of individually excellent elements.

Overall, an excellent update and advancement of the Mustang lineage.

I was hoping for a full fastback, but heck it's close enough for my liking
