    I have to agree - the 2011-2014 engine bay looks 100x better - especially when you add some redline tuning hood struts! Hopefully they improve upon that before Job 1.

    Most pictures from magazines to Ford itself state these are pre-production models. If they don't fix the engine compartment i'd be disappointed

    No way that's the finished engine bay, must be just thrown together for the auto show

    2015 Mustang. Opinions?

    Anyone see the first retail 15 GT that got auctioned at Barrett Jackson? It was one of those fund raiser deals so that explains the 300k sale price! But to my point, I thought it looked pretty generic and a little fugly under the bright lights. The front end looked like an angry fusion and the rear end looked bloated. Also noticed the few times they panned the venue that there was nobody at the official 15 Mustang display area. Myself I found the car neither exciting or repulsive, which seems to be what global designers are shooting for these days. The engineering and the high price are both impressive though.

    I just cant get over that front end, although i do like the rest of the car. I think im just gonna refer to the 2015 mustang as the "Taurus GT" from now on. :)

    I am not sure if I like that black "lip" in the front and on the sides. I can picture that getting sun bleached and looking pretty hazed in a few years. I would think for the price, engineers thought of that.

    GT500s have been using the "splitter" since 2007 without any issues; except maybe dragging it on steep grades or catching it on those concrete parking stops. Just don't get wax on it, like any other matted surface, and it'll be fine...
