A bit more information:

I was beginning to wonder - I couldn't find anything that said the 2015 Mustang would be there. Then I found this (you have to scroll down a ways to find it):

https://www.facebook.com/NEAutoShow

Yeah, I actually found something useful on Facebook - I guess there's a first for everything. :D :p

I think we're in for this.

Bob C., Jay and myself went to the show Saturday to see the 2015. Here are some pics I took, though I doubt you will see anything you haven't already seen in the official pics. My impressions didn't change a lot. I disliked the nose and headlights as much as ever, but the rest of the car was definitely nicer and made a better impression than before. I still don't like that the fender line and the styling line are one and the same and are generally flat with no rake to it. The tails/rear end looked better than my previous impressions and did the side view.

On another note, the new Camaro and Vette also have nicer rears than previously. They ditched those awful tail lights both had and replaced the two cut off circles on each side with one rectangular light on each side. It's amazing how much that little change makes both cars look so much better!

Interesting things you say about the Vette and Camaro. those are exactly the same parts of the car that I think make the car look horrible. And I have seen them in person and think that the new Vette rear end is horrible. It just looks like they took parts off other cars and put it on the new cars. But that's why we are all different and why there are so many different cars to choose from.

Yes, life would be so boring if we all liked the same thing, but on the other hand it's fun to argue about it all the time! :D

Bruce awhile back someone posted pics of a current new stang 7 the 2015 side by side. The side profile (going by the pics) side by side look very similiar to each other from a short dist away. So yea up close there maybe minor changes but from side by side pics, pretty similiar, not same but similiar. On front and rear, duh yea diff. but it's a like or hate. Me, when new Gen III Fusion came out, not a fan at all but has since grown on me, I like now which is why I think I like 2015 stang right off.
As for Camaro, it was and I'm sure still is a heavier car by the numbers so not sure how it affects handling and did have a bad rear blind spot.

Car looks great. I'm a fan for sure.

I'm also a big fan of the new Corvette.

Yeah, agreed (Camaro) but at least the pig now has a bit more lipstick. ;)
