Are those two gauges on top of the center stack between the air vents? Could this be the turbo four? Or will all models have them?

I'll be interested to see more pics and what models are offered but I don't see a reason for someone with a current gen to trade ... imo the rear end is a big downgrade. Not sure about the front hopefully this is a base but then again why would the v6 be on the cover of a magazine?

After seeing an enlarged version, those are clearly gauges. Probably a boost meter for the turbo?

Totally underwhelmed and unimpressed. That new instrument panel is a freakin mess!

I think they're trying to copy the look of the Fiesta ST's tail end. Looks great on the Fiesta, mustang...eh. Maybe black will be a popular color.

Bottom line is this car does look marketable beyond 50 year old gray hair dudes like me living in the U.S. It will outsell the current version and will give folks in other countries a chance to own a Mustang. I realize that it will be better on the track than my Boss but I fully expected that was going to happen sooner rather than later.

Agree. Plus this car is going to europe and asia? Though i'm a firm believer that people's tastes are the same everywhere.

What size wheels do you guys think are on that one? I'm thinking they look like 17's or 18's, so maybe it is the Ecoboost or the V6?

I hope this is not it, not that it doesn't look nice and not that I do not like the camaro, but I see some camaro! The feel of the interior resembles the camaro...

Mixed feelings so far.
I showed pics of the magazine cover and of the front of any 10-14 model. Her words: "Whats the difference"

I saw this earlier and was questioning if it was legit. I think it's great. Can't believe ford kept it under wraps as long as they did in today's world.

But the leak shows that social media launches are not easy to control. With the wrong fuzzy pics all things can go wrong. Lesson to be learned for such sort of "creating buzz" on a global scale.

They mailed the magazine out and tried to time it right to be there the same time as the unveil. This isn't as bad as someone breaking the embargo early and posting pics ahead of time. To be honest, I'm shocked no one did that already since these pics popped up.

Same here. Directly from the rear, the flying buttresses give a similar feel, and the I terror definitely looks a bit GM - steering wheel and center stack look like what I'd expect the Camaro interior to look like after a refresh. I hope the surfaces don't give me those feelings when I see it in person...
