2015 Ford Mustang

That's exactly what I saw from the side profile pics of the 2015 Mustang. A 350Z/370Z like silhouette. The I-4 kinda surprised me tho but, it makes sense with the CAFE laws. I'm glad the turbo 6 didn't replace the V8!

I actually like the new look.
Looks aggressive and much more modern/sleek than the outgoing model.

New 2015 Ford Mustang Photos Hit the Web; What Do You Think of it Now?
Click here to view more photos
The interwebs are providing us with our best look yet at the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang Coupe with a trio of shots that appeared on Time Magazine (photographed by Thomas Prior), with Mustang6G forums sharing the same images in higher resolution.
While our first impressions are that the interior doesn't seem like a huge design departure from the current fifth generation Mustang (though, we will wait for better photos to be sure), the exterior is a whole different story, one that has caught up with some, but not with others.
Perhaps these new images will help you decide if you're leaning towards liking, being indifferent or simply hating the new exterior styling that was penned with a global audience in mind for the very first time in the Mustang's 50-year old history.

This Is What Ford’s All-New 2015 Mustang Really Looks Like
Fifty years after Ford first unveiled the Mustang at the New York World’s Fair, the American automaker is betting a total redesign can make the vehicle appeal to drivers around the world.
TIME got an exclusive look into the sixth-generation Mustang’s development, including these never-before-seen images of the car Ford will formally reveal tomorrow. The vehicle, which will go on sale next year as a 2015 model, is lower, sleeker and wider than the current Mustang. The most notable difference: this is the first Mustang to be produced for foreign markets, as Ford tries to turn an American icon into its global flagship.
Ford executives and engineers told TIME they found themselves straining to satisfy the demands of drivers in Europe and Asia, produce a Mustang with right-side steering for the U.K., India and Australia, while retaining the performance American customers expect. At one point the project had to be rebooted because original designs were not meeting these requirements, TIME has learned. That cost Ford millions. The new Mustang will also have a surprise under the hood: an optional 4-cylinder, turbo-charged engine. It’s a nod to Europe, where gas prices are twice those in the U.S. but also risks undercutting the Mustang’s marketable heritage as a V8 power machine.
Now, by producing a Mustang for sale around the globe, Ford will be extending its strategy of building so-called world cars that can be sold profitably in a wide array of markets with arguably its most recognizable brand. The full story will be available tomorrow on Time.com and in the 12/16 issue of TIME.

I'm a little relieved to see that the new 2015 won't be that radical a departure from the retro styling of the recent Mustangs...at least less of one than I expected. I've always felt that a Mustang should LOOK like a Mustang.......something that was apparantly forgotten from the Seventies into the Late-Nineties. I can understand the reasoning of getting rid of the long-running solid rear live-axle from a ride/handling standpoint, but not from a durability standpoint. That old live axle was as tough as the material it was made out of (cast iron), and went through generations of burnout after burnout without failing. Ford used it knowing that many Mustang buyers either are immature teenagers or drive like them....laying rubber at stoplights. Note that the new IRS-equipped Camaro SS and Challenger R/T, which also get their share of share of burnouts from Friday and Saturday-night partying, have had more drivetrain durability problems than the live-axle Mustang.

2015 Mustang Leaked Photos Emerge With New Details
Even more leaked photos of the 2015 Mustang are emerging, this time from Time magazine.
The photos shown here were apparently shot for its coverage of the upcoming pony car. According to Time, the new Mustang is also lower and wider than the outgoing generation. Leaked images from another magazine article suggest that the V8-powered GT model will be faster around a racetrack than the former Boss 302 when equipped with an available performance package.
Entering its sixth generation, Ford’s pony car will come with an independent rear suspension and three engines: a base V6, optional turbocharged four-cylinder or the 5.0-liter naturally aspirated “Coyote” V8 built to compete the 6.2-liter V8 used in the Chevrolet Camaro.
Ford will officially unveil the car tomorrow with full details to come.
