Independent Rear Suspension, obviously

• 200-pound weight reduction over the outgoing Mustang, thanks in part to aluminum front fenders

• Two GT Performance Packs, one for the 2.3 Ecoboost and another for the 5.0 V8, includes limited-slip diff; V8 PP cars get 15-inch Brembos with six-pot calipers

• Ford says GT PP faster on track than 2012 Boss

• Standard keyless entry, meaning all cars get a proximity key

• 10% of production is expected to end up overseas, but Canada will remain second largest market for it

My comments:
Front looks great, car definitely looks smaller (kinda looks to be the size of a brz to me!).

Side profile is ok, I think its the image scan but it looks to blocky for me.

Rear end I hate, I think its more the lights than the diffuser.

Interior BLEGH

Front end...., meh its alright I guess. Air dam looks too much like the Focus ST.
Side profile...., I like it I guess, not too much to comment on.
rear end..., I like a lot, minus the red diffuser, maybe if it were black.

Interior is a damn cluster fuck of ugly and button paradise, holy shit. Grotesque.

If the diffuser was black, I don't think I'd mind the back. I know the current one doesn't really have a believable back seat, but this one looks as useless as the BRZ.

Anxious to see weights, dimensions and power trains. Hopefully the images are the base model, as the brake calipers look to be full weaksauce.

Oh yeah, as Billup said, that interior is terrible. The Focus/Fiesta are bad, but that just looks horrible.

Honestly, it looks like a hack job. Hopefully the chassis can make up for that.

I like what I see for the most part. I was hoping for a bigger departure from the current interior. I'll hold judgement on the interior until I see it in person. I had an 06 Saleen that was awesome, aside from the terrible seats. Yes, it was a lot of plastic, but for the price I got it, and the aftermarket power I could make with it, I was staring at the road 99% of the time, not the radio or dash.

front end lights looks totally out of proportion compared to the grilles and lower fog light housing. interior is ugly again. back end reminds me of the older saleens.

fail on the aesthetic design.

It will be badass. Rear looks like it is very wide. Front is very mean looking. You will be surprised when you see it in person.

Obviously it's a picture of a magazine so it's obviously going to look better in person, BUT: The whole big deal about how this car was going to be more Euro yet the car looks pretty evolutionary if you ask me. And it's still a pretty big car.

Now don't get me wrong, but the price/performance ratio is going to be fantastic, but it kinda looks been there done that already to me.

Funny what a little photoshopping can do to drop the car an inch or two. Look at how much more aggressive it looks here:

Faster on track than 2012 Boss. That says a lot right there. So what is SVT going to do with the new Boss? M3 is a has been. BMW better have been making improvements to M3 counter this new car.

Seriously? Google image search "Mustang fastback" and you'll see where they got the roofline from.

yeah i know what a Mustang fastback looks like. perhaps you simply aren't even looking at the photos of the new car! The last/current generation Mustang fastback looked like the 'old' Mustang....this new one has the roofline, c-pillars, and windows straight out of a G37.

The front-end looks refreshingly great! I really like that.

The rear looks nice and chunky, minus the hideous colour-coded diffuser (A simple fix though).

The interior looks low-rent and like it's stuck in the 90s..

I gagged when I saw the profile but then realised that it was the centre-fold of the magazine making it look so weird!

Overall, this car seems very impressive!

If the Jalopnik rumors are true, that it's the same wheelbase, slightly wider and slightly lower to the ground, then this has lost all appeal to me. I was hoping it would be significantly smaller.
