Agreed, AWD would better suit the character of a Fiesta/Focus RS.
Of course, should the next gen Stang retain a buggy axle, then it should go all the way: drum brakes, leaf springs, recirculating ball suspension and 80 aspect ratio bias ply tires.

I still wouldnt expect it on a stang anytime, ford has AWD in their portfolio but none of the systems are performance oriented, they are all systems designed for increasing passenger car/suv traction in slippery conditions, not performance oriented systems. The cost of developing a system would be enormous with marginal benefit.

While the calendar year 1964 saw the release of the Mustang, the model year was 1965, even though the number 1964 1/2 is used to denote the first few months of production. This is mentioned here.
If Ford follows the product cadence it has been the past number of years (as has been reported in various places), a new Mustang showing up in calendar year 2014 will be known as a 2015 Mustang.
Since April 17 is the anniversary date, I could see 2014 Mustangs being produced starting in early 2013 until early 2014, with the 2015 arriving by that time.

Almost makes me want to wait until next year to buy, but then again I've been waiting all my life for a new GT, need to get the value I can from my V6 now, want the TrackApps (so don't want to go pre-13) and won't mind a car from a lean-numbers year.
