Hopefully not a repost.
Getting push button start, paddle shifters and some other fancy tech.

Modernized Center Stack
We came upon a Mustang prototype at rest, and managed to get our first look at the next-generation, S550 Mustang's modernized center stack. The new 'Stang looks ready to utilize the full suite of Ford's in-car infotainment technology, with a large LCD screen sitting atop the stack, and an orderly collection of buttons and switches residing below. We're pleased to see a simple volume knob, and no sign of capacitive-touch sensors.

Button Breakdown
Volume and menu functions sit at the top of the button array. Next down are the HVAC controls, flanked by buttons for heated--and cooled--front seats. The bottom row of buttons contains the Start/Stop button, a toggle switch for the hazard lights, and another toggle switch that appears to be either for traction control (or launch control?). The rest of the lowest row of switches is unfortunately blocked by the test driver's computer. We also see an early, unfinished shift knob with a round, ball-head, although its unclear if it's a manual, or automatic transmission that it activates.

BLIS (Blind Spot Information System)
The driver side view mirror reveals that the 2015 Mustang will also be equipped (or optioned) with BLIS, Ford's blind spot detection system. The graphic you see on the mirror matches that of the BLIS mirrors from other current Ford models.

C-pillar Details Revealed From Within
Given the very heavy camouflage applied to the roofs of the Mustang prototypes, we realized that the only way to get a feel for the styling below was to see it from the inside. We took advantage of our ten-second peek inside the 2015 Mustang, devoting a few seconds to grab some shots of the rear seats. The result was telling, revealing the final shape for the rear quarter window, and giving a better feel for what the true roof line is doing under all of that camouflage.

One of the pics - steering wheel.

Wow. That steering wheel is busy. Something like 16 buttons on it. Not counting the horn.

Instantly reminded me of the 87-89 pre-airbag Trans Am GTA wheel.

Does anyone else see the resemblance between the '10-12 steering wheel and this thing...minus the myriad of buttons of course! Almost looks the same depth! Same round airbag...odd.

Less meat on that Ford wheel though, looks awkward. I actually like my 10-12 meaty wheel over the 13+. Curious as to why Ford hasn't made the wheel a flat-bottom type, especially with it shrinking and as a world car more likely to be ordered as a stick.

Looking at those spy pics, the back seat is almost non usable. The roofline is so low that you would have to be very short to sit back there. Not to mention the rear quarter window is microscopic. They are really shrinking this thing down.

The seats might be very deep.

Center console seems very Audi-like. I don't really like the steering wheel. Unfortunate that there are no good pics of the front seats.

Could be the case. With the switch to an ILIRS the driveline tunnel can be much smaller, as it won't have to accommodate the bouncing action associated with a SRA.

Exactly my first impression as well.

And it's a good thing. I always really liked the 2010 Camaro steering wheel.

There are more pictures in the link.

Push button start, interesting.

And the auto finally gets paddles!

SPARTAN sui · 10-01-2013, 10:46 PM

The little toggle like switches are interesting, but overall that is one busy center console. I would assume they'll dress that up on the production model.

Interior looks boxy but clean. This car will probably have bad visibility like the Camaro with the smaller roofline and it will most likely be a hatchback.
