In a nation obsessed with the right now, few things have held up over the past 50 years as well as the Ford Mustang. The first pony car debuted at the 1964 New York World’s Fair and instantly became a tent pole of Americana. Before the model officially turns 50 on April 17, 2014, Ford will celebrate its lasting contribution to the postwar-boom culture with a brand-new, much anticipated Mustang.
But the times, they are a changin’ (yep, a song also released in 1964). Ford’s American icon continues to gain offshore admirers. The Blue Oval plans to sell the next Mustang globally, and to appease overseas buyers, the car will need to be lighter and more efficient. But that’s not to say that traditional fans will be disappointed.

The front end is not mustang at all. It is a Mustauris.

exterior dimensions will shrink ever so slightly Thank God. The current one is the size and general shape of an M1 Abrams tank.

It’s not the size it is the weight.

would prefer a straight 6, Overhead Cam, belt driven with a six-pack and turbo charged. But a 4 cyl with 310 horsepower isn’t too shabby.

Not sure it is a good idea to try to 300 + HP out of a 4 banger.

Nothing will ever replace the sound a big V-8 with old fashion 4 barrel carbs, headers, and good sized cam.
To: central_va
With electronics you have good control over detonation and temperatures. If things get rowdy you quickly back off the turbo boost for a while.

The whole shape is pretty close to a Taurus.
My wife has a 2013 Taurus and it has a lot of *stang* looks to it, now they are giving the *stang* a Taurus look, WTH?
Design team getting lazy??

Looks like they grafted the front end of a 2013 Fusion...

That’s the look Ford adopted from when they owned Aston Martin last decade.

"The front end is not mustang at all. It is a Mustauris."I do see that, but overall I still think it's pretty nice, including the snake eyes that others don't like.

Fords always appear to me to all have the same front end. One reason I don’t like Ford.
