The vert from that angle looks good. About the only color I'm digging for the car right now is Ruby Red along with the 20" machined wheels.
Also looks like the GT is riding on 265/35R20's front to back

There is absolutely nothing about this car that I can't live with. Of course more will be known when I see/drive it. Also I will be waiting a minimum of 6 months until we have hyper credible information about the future motors.
I have found myself recently thinking about getting a 4 door car as my son is getting older and might not want to be in the back of a little mustang much longer, but the 2015 has me thinking that, this is what I bought the 2013 Edge Limited for the wife for!!!

Sooo...no one has mentioned the plaque that says "Ford Mustang, Since 1964"
Guess it's not going to be an Anniversary Edition after all, most likely due to the car being unveiled so early. No 2014.5 models, no gaudy 50th badges. Interesting food for thought....

ok... starting to love it more. the GT with the grill "teeth" make it much better. From the right angles, it looks less Fusiony.
Maybe the "since 1964" is the 2014.5 SE feature?
Also, is the "ground speed" necessary on the speedo? haha
But what to do with that HIDEOUS GT/running horse badge on the back. That has to go.

Overall I think it looks really great, not perfect mind you, but a great effort, advancement and modernization of the Mustang for going deeper into the 21st century rather than clutching so relentlessly to the mid-20th century. In some ways, by being far less slavish to replicating design elements of a car a half century old now, it far better reflects the animating spirit and energy of that original Pony Car. Retro design can quickly and easily devolve into relic design and I think the current Stang was really in danger of that. Sure, that approach has a wistful appeal to some graying baby boomers, but to the vital younger, newer and wider pool of potential buyers, it was simply looking old, out of date and out of touch with today's world.
The new Stang, on the other hand, seems to strike a good balance between retaining enough identifying visual/design DNA to create a sense of continuity yet doing so in a way that is modern, fresh and relevant to today's world and drivers rather than yesterday's. I might have modernized even a touch more, but hey, Ford was right in the middle of good compromise zone with its design.

Anyone else notice the small print at the bottom stating "LATE 2014 AVALABILITY" ??
Thought it was going to be more like June / July !!

I don't care for the "teeth" in the GT grill, I like the base grill better. I think the ideal grill for this opening would be a Roush-style billet grill. If Roush doesn't do it, somebody else will.
