I'm not a big fan of SBY but it looks hot with the sterling gray accents.

hard for me to say. I like some of the softened up lines, but each car has its own unique personality.

Just like '69 and '70, they are both winners, although everyone will have their preference.

Me? '69 for the classic Boss.......'13 for the modern.

Fatter and taller. Both look great. 12 looks more classic and 13 looks meaner and more modern. Only problem I have if I block lower grille on 13, I see catfish!

no, but it certainly looks BLOATED ( all those painted parts bumper, lower grill and those rocker panels) and still hate those cross eyed Hids...

yes Im partial of course but honestly no regret with the 2012 it looks classic

now the 2013 GT 500 I think THAT is the big deal this year, camaro guys wetting their underwear on it

Personally I prefer the 2013. For me the 2012 was a little too overtly boy racer and didn't look quite as cohesive as the 2013 does. I like both, but given a choice I would absolutely take the 13.

2012 looks more like a nimble fun sports car, 2013 looks like a beach cruiser lol

Although I prefer the 12, both are exceptional. Hats off to Ford.

It's nice that both years have a distinctive look (more than just having different stripes), it really makes both models unique.

I guess we just have to pony up to the bar and buy us another one, having both 2012 and 2013 Mustangs Boss 302s in the corral would be the ultimate.

Lottery win come my way!

I am sure the cars are the same size.........the painted rockers a nd the swelled opening in the grille make it look wider and taller. If I had my choice Id like the rear bumper on the 2013 on my 2012, I like the non-painted mirrors on the 2013, and I am crazy about the wheels!..........I like my 2012 better..........hate the hockey stripe style of the 70. I feel like I have chosen the best of the two years............but i don't think I could have gine wrong either way

The mirrors are painted to match the stripes on the LS.

For once, I like the older styling, but the new definitely looks updated, upscale and more modern....

Functionality point of view, I was specifically drawn to the 12 boss b/c of the lack of painted items . This would keep replacement parts at a minimum when your tracking. My last car with 26k mi and about 1k track mi was done for on the hood, bumper, splitter, and especially the rocker panels. ....oh yeah I went off track in my last car more than 5 times at 100mph

Can't wait to check it out this Sunday! anybody else going to the la auto show?
