Plus tomorrow hopefully we see better pics, engine upgrades if any, and interior. I don't trust the tv site to give us the real specs.
i don't know, seems they could have gotten a free commercial after the reveal, just the same.

I have been obsessing about this refresh. Waiting since it was announced and checking Internet daily for updates. I really hope they did something to the interior. If not, what a waste of time. I am 50/50 for getting the 2014/2015 or just waiting for 6th gen. I am still going to hold out hope.

OMG
If this is the REAL thing.... I am sooooo happy I have a 2012.

Front: too narrow upper grille and too much lower, no slotmail=no good IMHO, heat extractor
Rear: taillights , rear wing-too much for me (and I am a big fan of wing break light but looks bad on this one)

2014 could be the year when Mustangs will regain sales supremacy...

I still hope this is NOT it!

The changes if confirmed are loosing the 67-69 Camaro influence and that's bad.
Also if the only "performance" change is a heat extractor and spoiler then they really don't get it.

Minimum bump for the SS should be a 480hp LS3 with the gmpp cam on both auto/manual (dump the l99) to keep pace with the lighter and faster Mustangs. The ZL1 should be at 650hp with a 2.3L TVS.

Ford seems more in tune with their customers with regards to performance, even if it did take a good kick in the pants to get there (2010 Camaro to 2010 Mustang ).

Not the response to the 5.0/Boss/Shelby I would have liked to have seen from GM. At least from a performance perspective we have the Stingray until a GEN6 Camaro arrives.

Front is going the wrong direction should be more like a '69 Camaro. The 05-09 Mustang needed to get a smaller grill not the Camaro:


Rear reminds me of a 2000 Honda Prelude:



Oh well, all opinions and you know what they're worth.

...........and that is:


when we change anything on a Camaro (or Corvette)

>50 percent will love it.

>50 percent will hate it.

...and a few months later when the finished product hits the streets.....

>80 percent of the 50 percent that hated it will now love it.............


I've watched it happen for 40+ years...................


IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BE A CAMARO ENTHUSIAST!!!!

Kind of reminds me of the 1979 Firebird refresh when I when I first saw it - or as I remember it; The day the TransAM died.

I think that it looks great...

The tail really reminds me of a 1969 Camaro, now.

The front looks like a true refresh, a more modern style.
