Still looks unmistakably like a mustang to me. What would you confuse it with?
Also, I think it looks more aggressive.

They'll never beat their classic 1960's designs. Back end looks atrocious, but front is OK. Not great. Kinda preferred the past few year's designs.

I think the back end in the grey looked great. Not bad overall but still rather meh.

The more I look at it the more it looks like an Evo, Fusion and Stang fucked and pureed the liquids.
It also looks like everything from the door back was designed by a different team.

The Fusion's grill really does. I have done double takes when I see one out of the corner of my eye. The Explorer with certain trim options looks a lot like a Range Rover Sport as well.
This Mustang looks OK to me I worry that those headlights are too close to returning to the terrible Mustang of the '90s and early '00s.

I think I like it better than the current Mustang. In that, the hood is too round. It should be almost flat, only a slight curve at the front.
edit: Heck, even the rear window is more Mustang like than the 2014 version. It shouldn't be a porthole in back, but an extension of the front window
The last few standard bare-bones Mustang models had looked real ugly and basic to me.
But the Shelby versions always look boss.
This time around, the standard model looks like a luxury car and I really dig, especially the back. I love the grill, and I didn't like the headlights at all until I saw them turned on in the video, then I loved the whole package.
I can't wait to see what the Shelby version will look like, or any tricked-out one with nice big rims and big tires, etc. Hate standard tires and rims on a sports/muscle/luxury car unless it's old-school.

I'm not a fan of Mustangs (or muscle cars in general) but that looks good to me. They keep looking better and better. They looked like shit for so long, though (definitely since I've been born), so it's taken them a looooong time.

the front is lacking that angular cut that distinguishes as a Mustang, the 2015 is rounded at the front and the headlights are not Mustang-like.
those are the two main things that makes less Mustang-y. Check the cut at the nose, it's more rounded off now

Best Mustang

I still have the best looking (next-gen) muscle car on the road
arent they going to replace that with the CUDA in the next 2 years.

they shaved like 93kg off the previous mustang, but since there will be a 4banger option it might be even more.
The rumors are all over the place.
The Challenger refresh is coming this year. How refreshed is a different story. Is it the beginnings of a new platform or on the same platform it currently is on.
Rumors of the Cuda replacing it
Rumors of the Cuda not replacing it
The Cuda is said to be a completely redesigned platform small, lighter, faster. Which a sister Alfa Romeo will be on.
Same looks like a charger x.x

It's pretty funny that the 2.3 liter European V6 gets slightly better performance than the archaic 3.7 liter American V6 (in addition to the obvious fuel-efficiency difference) .
'murican retardo-engineering solely persists in this decade because Bill & Bob believe that being forced to buy "premium" violates their freedumb, right?

I think it's gorgeous. Best looking Mustang since the '60s IMO. I love the triple-bar vertical DRLs on the front echoing the triple-bar taillights, and I think the car looks great with big circular driving lights in the grille. The interior's nice too, though I'd like to see options for different materials than aluminum (carbon fiber, even wood).
Overall a great evolutionary design that incorporates Ford's current design language but still keeps it unmistakably a Mustang.

Kind of reminds me of an Aston Martin.
My thoughts exactly. I love me some Aston martin <3
You mean the brand new 4 cylinder that will be available in the US and that Ford is hoping will reach a brand new segment of American buyers is better than their 10 year old V6? I'm shocked.
I despise all of the modern muscle cars and their quasi-retro look. The Camaro in particular is awful to me.
That said, I actually think this is a big improvement over the current gen Mustang. Interior looks like a nice evolution as well, assuming it's using decent quality materials.
I'll never buy one, but kudos to Ford.

Exterior looks like a very nice evolution, but the interior looks pretty bad. I just don't think the retro look works well there.
What is that segment called exactly? Americans who aren't retarded? VW and others have had to deliberately make their cars worse so that Americans will buy them, archaic engines from the 90s aren't offered in Europe because that would be a ridiculously hard sell. The only explanation I've heard is that 'murcans hate paying a little bit more for premium even if it means getting a lot worse fuel economy in return. What am I missing?
A V6 doesn't even sound good no matter the displacement...at least the big American V8s have that trademark sound, so it's easy to forgive them for being dumb.

I think this is a great design.
It is unmistakably "Mustang" in its essence yet carries the current Ford design language.
There is no comparison to the outgoing design, which looks woefully dated in comparison.
Love it.

Uh, they use the new V6 which was just released a couple years ago. Also, V8's contrary to popular belief get equivalent mpg nowadays to their V6 counterparts.
EU taxes by displacement which is extremely inefficient in terms of reducing carbon emissions or promoting mpg.

Just got nostalgic for Test Drive 4 on PSX.

It is a huge improvement over the current MY. I don't know how that hideous rear decklid on the 2014 ever got approved.
I'm more interested in details on the suspension and the weight of this than than what it looks like though.

Mustang is a pretty good commuter car. The latest gen was quite comfy inside and the MPG with the V6 is great. The turbo 4 will be even better.
This is a pretty absurd POV. There are legitimate reasons for preferring a larger displacement motor with more torque that runs at lower compression ratios on shitty fuel to a smaller high revving motor.
This is coming from someone who drives an FR-S, which is about the polar opposite of that, but I'm not going to put someone down or suggest that they are stupid because they like the feel of a big lazy engine as opposed to a small rev happy engine.

I like it. Looks like a more refined version of the current stang.
In the video that Bulbo posted, they mentioned the interior being inspired by military aesthetic and fighter jet instrument clusters in particular.
