The official Ford Mustang twitter feed tweeted a little while ago about something "exciting" to show tomorrow at 4pm eastern time on Spike TV. Here's a screenshot of the tweet and the sneek peak they put along with it.

If the pic they tweeted is that of a 2015, is it possible they may be retaining the S197 body style but adding a new platform and suspension underneath? Or are they planning on announcing the new features but not yet ready to show the new body style and are simply "masking" it, so to speak? What are your opinions, thoughts, etc.?

I've been disappointed before. I don't want to get my hopes up and then go to bed crying again.

If this car isn't 100% the way I want it I'm going to be so mad!!!! /sarcasm

Interesting stuff. We'll see what happens.

I'm guessing we will be seeing a similar body to that of the S197. It would be rather pointless to give the S197 a facelift for the 2013 and 2014 models and then discontinue it right away. They may just change a few of the panels, such as the front fascia as seen on the pic. Who knows, maybe the new body style will come on the 2016 models, seeing as how the first facelift on the S197 only lasted 3 model years (2010-2012). Again though, just my guess/opinion.

Not sure what significance it is, but they were shooting the new Need for Speed movies here in Macon, and they *said* the Mustangs they were using were the 2015 models, and they were using the movie as a bit of promotion for them. I got a couple pictures on my phone somewhere. Would explain why they didn't want anybody taking pictures of the one they wrecked...

I think you may be correct. I just found a link (which I will post underneath) with pictures and references to a Need for Speed movie which was being filmed. Lo and behold, they had hold of a few Mustangs and the front end looks like that of the pic they tweeted. Nice looking ones, by the way, I especially liked the Pony in place of the faux gas cap. Here's the link:

I like it. I'll take a GT500 model...

^^That car looks meaty.

I'm thinking the Need for Speed promo, not the S550. Spike has a "The Download: EA 2013 Preview" show on at that time and, NFS is an EA video game now turned movie.
