Its a Mustang! your worried about getting in and out of the back, it appears people are using lame excuses to not like this car. Unfortunately if Ford made the the mustang out of gold there still would be people upset. There are gonna be a few ou there that will never like it but it is undoubtedly a Mustang.:rockon:
Looks a lot better than a 2011 Stang that looks like a big steaming pile of crap..
It seems the majority of the people who are complaining the most about the new look are 12-13 owners. I sense they are feeling threatened by the new hotness and will find any excuse to justify why their car is still better. IMO the 2015 looks like the SN95 progressed into a modern look. But I'm also a SN95 owner so of course I'm a little biased.
I'm going to get one, but I'll wait a year or two for any bugs or issues to get worked out because with every new model year there always seems to be some issue that gets corrected with the following year.
I highly doubt that the owners of the 2012-2013 Mustangs are the majority with the dislike of the new Mustang. If anything, I'd be excited to have the 2012-2014 because it really evolved into a muscle car from 2005. When the 2005 came out, everyone's jaw dropped and the car was just a runaway smash hit. The 2015 doesn't draw you in like the premiere of the 2005. Rather, it just fulfills what we pretty much expected Ford to do based on reports from the car industry. All the Internet hero renderings became a bore to look at and the new one doesn't deviate a whole lot from most predictions. I'm glad they left a little retro to the car. However, the Audi/350Z/Fusion styling appears to be in the structural lines just for the sake of change and something new. As I look at the Mustang, I'm not excited or joyous about anything in the styling. It's not something that I want to keep looking at. Show me a 1970 Mustang Boss 302 or a 2003-2004 Cobra, and I'll admire the cars from all angles, with a smile on my face. I guess the Fast and Furious crowd may like the new 'Stang? Maybe a few Honda Civic guys may dump their fart pipe cars for a change. I don't see any connection to the New Edge Mustangs or any evolution from them.
Despite what I'm saying, I surely hope that the car is a hit. I'm anxious to know how it handles, brakes and if the car can get traction with the IRS. I have zero interest in hearing a 4 banger. So, I hope the Coyote will continue to dominate the base V-8 models from Detroit and hopefully the 4 banger will be dropped from the line at some point. I would also expect a refresh of the body for 2016 model year - the pillars will look more muscular and front end should reflect a Mustang style rather than some Ford corporate style.
So, I'll certainly be happy to read about the performance. But, the style is just is "blah" IMO and it doesn't trigger any excitement within me. I just don't see many necks stretching backwards to do a double take when it passes on by.
Looking forward to the 2016 updates and changes...:whine:
So 255's up front, and 265's in the rear?? I was hoping for a little more meat.

The 11-14 crowd are by far the most vocal, here on SVTP and on Facebook. Most of the comments about it looking like a Nissan Altima, a FRS, Audi etc come from those owners. It shouldn't be a surprise either, a lot of 03-04 Cobra and Mach 1 owners were pretty vocal about the looks of the 05 when it was released too. They have an emotional attachment to their car and people tend to feel a need to defend what they have by degrading the thing getting attention. Like a previous poster said earlier, this thing could be the best thing since sliced bread and people would still complain about it because some people just need shit to bitch about.
I've made the open challenge a few times on these forums before asking WTF a mustang is supposed to look like in response to people saying the 15 doesn't look like a mustang. So I will propose the question to you, what is a mustang supposed to look like? Because each generation of mustang is pretty different, especially from the Fox era onward.
Performance is going to make the past generations look silly. IRS, an increase in power, a decrease in weight and dimension= killer track times. I think this car is going to be a huge hit. I'm glad they are moving past the retro look, I was sick of it in 2007.
The '14 GT gets P255/40R19 all around, so the rear 265s at the rear are at least an improvement.
That is a great video to watch. Clearly shows the new design/lines queues of the '15 Mustang. I can't wait to test drive one. :rockon:
Your Boss will hold more value later in the future than the fugly 2015 model. I say keep your Boss.To be honest, now seeing the Silver GT video, I might test drive one and trade up if a Special model is announced.
Hate to trade my Boss in, but, it does sound like they made improvements in performance and handling.
