I'm so happy they're going to be putting the eco boosts in them. Not so happy that they're staying with he catfish mouths grill.

 

The style is certainly better than that of what I had previously expected, but I'm still not 100% sold on it. However, like the rear-end change for 2013 I'm sure that this, too, will grow on me.

I will say that while the Eco-Boost option will appeal to a lot of people, I personally don't think that it will live up to the expectations that everyone is placing on it. The motor is not free of its bugs just yet and it has a while to go before it is a real contender.

 

Ive got a '12 F150 ecoboost, and no engine in its class can touch it. The only problem I forsee with the mustang is Mustangs should be instant power and torque, and the ecoboost tends to have a 1-2 second lag.

 

I definitely want this to be a huge update for the Mustang. I would love to see it brought into the modern era, and IRS as well as the Ecoboost motors are a step in the right direction. I'm still reserved based on the spy photos, but I am hopeful this facelift will bring Ford to the front of the international community. Just based off the pictures, I think it looks like a good platform that aftermarket companies are going to have a field day with, and the specs make it even more competitive.
