The Next Mustang

We have a new Ford Mustang on the way. The 2015 model will be the 50th annaversary of the Mustang. It's a totally new design, with a whole list of great new features. Ford introduced it to the automotive press earlier this month, in several locations around the world. I'm excited at what we've seen, so far. Some of the details, horsepower ratings, etc., are still being finalized, but what we know now is pretty impressive. It has independent rear suspension, paddel shifters for the automatic, and push-button start/stop. A turbo 4 cyl. is available, in addition to the V6 and 5.0 V8 carried over from the current Mustang. My 2013 5.0 GT has 420 horsepower, and they say the 2015 will be up from there, maybe 10 or more horsepower. They did an awesome job with the new styling, I really like what I see. Can't wait to see one I can look over in-person.
