Article on Car and Driver, includes fancy 360 picture!
http://www.caranddriver.com/features/2015-ford-mustang-leaked-360-view-and-full-details-news

Bashing and criticism are more than welcome...

My thoughts:
This is the picture I just made and posted on my instagram account.
I can handle the front end, I don't hate it but I definitely don't like it...
I like the idea of the hatchback look of the roof line... But boy as it executed poorly...
I hate hate hate hate hate hate the rear end. Did I mention how much I hate the rear end?
The only thing really left from the older Mustangs are the taillights and the name 'Mustang', a name this car does NOT deserve IMO.

those pics were out a while ago, new ones were just leaked. we'll see on Thursday if I like it or not.

for what it's worth the one posted has the exact same side profile as the 2014. I actually really like that one, I'm afraid i won't like the real one. No matter what it ends up looking like there's no way it'll be another Mustang II.

I know it's just a rendering, but I'm glad to see they are talking/thinking about puttin the quarter window back with the door glass, like it is on our cars. Also like what I'm seeing concerning the skirt issue...
Those were two things that bug the crap out of me on the s197s.

Not to sold on the rear end. Flows nice from front to middle, but something looks odd from the back part :undecided:

It looks like every other mustang ever made.... boring and ugly in stock form.

But that's also the best part about these cars. The aftermarket is going to be bigger then ever.

Since I am going to see the new mustang at work and have to drive them everyday.It is going to be interesting to see what goes wrong with this model.I wonder if the base model is going to have the same four cylinder motor that comes in the Focus ST?Anyone read yet what the cost is going to be?

Base model should be the V6, the 4 cyl ecoboost is an option along with the 5.0 according to what I've seen.

That render is old. Apparently the "real" picture was leaked today, even though I saw that render a couple months ago.........
I won't believe anything until thursday when ford actually releases media.

V6 is suppose to be base model, the 4 cyl ecoboost (will have more power than the 300hp v6), then the 5.0.

I'm not a fan of it at all, but nothing I can do about it. Maybe somebody can make some aftermarket body kits to make em look better. I saw a picture on Facebook earlier that was just a little different than this one but still a no to me. I'll be happy with my SN lol

The interesting news is that it will be available in Europe...

In Europe the V6 will not be available. They expect to sell the 4-cyl, and they offer a V8 just for catalogue reasons. Taxes in Europe will make the V8 incredibly expensive so nobody will buy one.

I would like to have a 4-cyl for daily driver, to be honest. I like it.

I do wonder if it will be a big seller, and if future Mustang meetings will be 99% 2015 models over here.

If it were an exotic, I'd like it (except for the rear end... I will never like the rear end) but not for a muscle car. The lines would look more at home on an Aston Martin or a Jag... Not a Ford
I guess I'll wait until tomorrow an hope that the real pictures will look differently and give it a beefier appearance.

I hate, absolutely hate the front end. Is this a Mustang or a Camaro?
