How much will the 13 refresh tell us about the 15?

Anyone remember these old concept sketches? I could see something like that rear end ending up on the 2015. The 50th needs to be special so i think i big change would be kool. Plus the challenger's rear lights look wicked with the sequential kit on em and i know that would be a welcome change from the diaper we have now

As far as the steering wheel being too big comment a few posts up, I dunno- the 10+ wheel to me is the best looking steering wheel Ive ever seen- wanna trade for a 5-9 one?

my guess on the 13: same rearend...
with all the disproportionate complaining the 10 recieved, and no changes for 11 or 12, I sincerely dont think Ford has their ear to the ground at all. How many aftermarket/upfitters made custom bumpers? Relatively speaking, the tooling is not that expensive- I think they woulda done it by now if they were going to.
it is what it is, and it is truly a great car- but I predict 9/10 folks woulda preferred the above to this:

How would they not be a mustang person? There were many early gen models including the ICONIC Eleanor mustang and even shelbys that had rear lights that style. Anyone who would claim that someone who likes that "is clearly not a mustang person" must be talkin about themselves.

If so many people really hated the '10+ rear as people claim Ford would have made major changes. Instead they made the small diffuser tweak from '10 to '11 and that was it. The fact of the matter is most people like it or are neutral, however, naturally the complainers are the most vocal.

I'm not a hater (or lover) of the current rear but there's a world of room for improvement.

I think the 2013 Mustang will have modifications made to the front and rear to give the Mustang a new fresh look. No real big design change tho.I also feel the 2015 Mustang will be a complete break from the 2013 design. There will be no indication from the 2013 as to what the 2015 will look like.

Comparing that to a Classic Shelby is a crime and should be dealt with appropriately. Yeah, WORLDS OR ROOM. Lets make the entire rear end one giant break light. That tail light (I say "that" because it's Godzilla size) is a retarded joke. Oh and it will NEVER HAPPEN EVER GUARTANTEED.
Defensive much? I think the Shelby-style light bar (albeit too large) looks more classic "Mustang" than the oddly mishapen tails we currently have.
"Never happen ever guaranteed"? You should be a psychic.

Those concept taillights are huge!
If anything the '15 lights will be the size of the current car or even smaller. Hopefully the car is smaller too. Hopefully just a bit. Dear lord don't make it any bigger.

Well the lights dont have to be that size but trim em doqwn to fit the next gen body which will most likely be smaller. I wish they would also bring back somethin similar to the 69/70 style front fascia. Idk if the years are right but like the original mach 1's and BOSS cars. Or maybe even a modern version of the "new edge" bodies. Who knows what Ford has instore

However, given the broader sweep of the '13 refresh, I would expect the diaper to be changed, the lumps smoothed out and a generally more pert, taut and cohesive derriere than the heavy, saggy and amorphous current rendition.

The current miscarraige of an azz end is anything but Mustang. I mean what the hell was Ford striving for with that pooched out rear? Bubble Butt? Rat junk? What is that??
![Dunno](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
The ridiculous diaper mobile is a pathetic contradiction of lines like "pick up sticks" from the rear, and a "draggin' azz - hope it don't scrape the ground" from the side.
Whoever created and approved that design, whether an individual or a committee, needs to be fired from Ford and banned from the auto industry forever! Including their spawn!!

I will never give Ford a dime for an atrocious, non-Mustang design such as that.

Neither the fantastic 5.0 or the awesome Boss has been able to spike sales because of that ridiculous diaper and plucked up rear end.

The 15 needs to move on and move ahead with a dynamic, head turning, next gen. Leave the retro for those of us with the 05-09 S197.

I really do not get you people who hate the diaper so much. I guess there is no rule that people have to have good taste, but the 10-12 rear is far better than the old one. Maybe you need to get out of last century and get with the times. Either way, this isn't the 1900s any more, and a 60s style rear is not the best option. Grow up people. As time goes on, designs change. If you do not like it, buy classic cars. The 2015 will not be as retro, and I am sure no matter how good it is, there will be a lot of whiny nuts who would prefer yet another rehash of the 60s designs. Modern with some throwbacks is better than retro for the next design. If you do not like the diaper, go buy a 40 year old car and forget anything new.

I have an '08 and, personally, I really like the restyling that took place with the '10s. The rear end looks great with a blackout panel and I love the hood. The '05 styling looks pretty bland in comparison nowadays.
