OK...My bad...I'm only talking about the Opening surrounding the actual Grill...Jeezers!!

People see what they see.
Some are going to see it more than others.


If it was a more common shape on all cars, it wouldn't even be a discussion.


I like the fusion, but I think its better executed on the mustang with some depth and different grille. Not to say I don't like the fusion, because I think its a really great look and car. I love them both.


The fusion looks more like the Aston flat faced and grilled with no angles
The Mustang is slanted, recessed and sculptured grille.

Brian, I am with you 100%
I have, as you may have as well, ordered mine without seeing one in person.
I personally think they, Ford, hit the Fusion outta the park with the styling, and was actually hopein the Mustang would have some similarities in the front end...but really wasnt too concerned, as I think the 'Stang is a knock-out!

I agree the shapes are similar but that is nothing new for automakers. As a life long GM guy (still have a 70 Vette and a 79 Cutlass), I remember Olds and Pontiac sharing similar grill shapes across their line ups.


The rear of the '15 Mustang is amazing! I'm luke warm on the front, I'd rather see a modern take on the 69 Boss Mustang grille hung on the front of the car.

Pretty much how I feel. Love the look of the rear for the most part except the lower reverse light and don't get the front look. The interior is blah for me too but I have the right to reserve judgment until I see it in person.

If you like the Fustang buy it. If you don't, like me, keep your real looking Mustang. If you don't like the name Fustang you can try Probe II or Mustang III. Performance wise it may be great but the front end is 'Fusionist'.

it cracks me up when peeps get offended by others saying they don't like it or expressing an opinion not the same as their own. I agree, that after seeing it, i liked it better then the pics. But it's not for me. not right now. Many peeps say they don't like my car, and i say, that's TOTALLY ok, you didn't buy one.

Ford didn't miss the mark, it's just a taste thing. Not my flavor. Still purty though. But then again so is the Hyundai Genesis.

I'm glad your 2013 is in the background. To me, it shows a more aggressive stance, which is something I really like with the S197. Your 2013 looks great.

Very nice color/stripe combo. I haven't seen a whole lot of Ruby Red Shelbys around, and I don't think I've ever seen one as a 'vert.

Mine is still in processing. Do you know where in the grand scheme of things yours sits?
Mine is still in processing also, I'm waiting to get the build date and VIN from the dealer. I'm hoping next week sometime I'll get word that something is happening. so what is your favorite feature? Mine is the head lights, I love the 3 strip LED Daytime running lights. I also love all the technology, being an IT guy technology is my thing.

I'm looking forward to a ton of pics, threads and mods on the '15's once you guys all get them Getting bored of all the same old mods on same ol cars. Time for some excitement
