Holy bubbles on the center console plastic by the e-brake batman! Preproduction for sure, but man…getting a little late in the preproduction cycle to be seeing stuff that bad.
Is this yellow a metallic yellow, like that on the old S2000? That was always a really nice yellow up close.
I'll be curious to see if body gaps on production cars are as nice as on all the preproduction cars we've seen, and if the cars will sit as low. It's common for manufacturers to parade around lower cars than production because they know it looks better, and I kind of figure manufacturers tend to put extra effort into making sure panel alignment is fantastic on preproduction cars that everyone's going to be looking at (I realize this is kind of opposite of what I just mentioned above with the center console bubbling).

Tried to get as much info as possible from the Ford rep, but nothing we don't already know.
Tried real hard to have her open the hood, but no luck. Asked her about the hood prop-rod, but she just gave me a nice smile.

that's why you push her down and open the hood yourself! You pull the leaver inside, and you have another guy ready to pop the hood and snap a pic!

The rep at the MCA show would open the hood when ever asked. It sounds & rides nice with comfortable seats, IMO.
I only snapped one picture, because there are so many around. Yes, Prop Rod is the method for supporting the hood.

Ticks me off that the Triple Yellow only comes with black seats...no other color option allowed. My older yellow Mustang had brown leather seats with black surrounds. All black interior is just too much darkness.

The coolant tank is kind of right there in your face but it wouldn't really bother me. Heck the overflow tank in my 65 was literally just a rubber bag that hung on the inner fender and that wasn't something I just rigged up, that was factory. My guess is that over time Ford will find some place to tuck the tank away out of sight.

Wednesday I actually saw three different 2015's, one GT for sure the other one was i believe a v6 and the 3rd couldn't tell as it was driving.
All on a dream cruise night as well. The v6 i saw was actually parked at the gym i go too. White. Looks great in person. I dunno pictures don't really do it justice.
