Hey guys,
This is my first post on these forums. I recently ordered a Sterling Gray Premium V6 w/ MCA package after falling in love with the test drive (wanted the better fuel economy and more affordable car with extra options that I couldn't get with the 5.0).
I was looking into all the chatter and design pics for the 2015 and it looks enticing. I guess I was just ready to upgrade from my 13-year-old Jeep, though, and didn't want to wait another 2 years! What are the thoughts here about going with the 2013 rather than the 2015 revamped model?
Does anyone think the S197's will look outdated as soon as the 2015 model hits the streets? Again, I know "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Just want to get other opinions.

-In '10 a new design came out and it was great, but in '11 they brought out the 5.0 engine that is great. Short lived design, because the '13 came with new design (in '12) that it's also great, but is a change. When the Guys with the '13 are getting comfortable, (again in '14) the '15 model with appear completely changed with new IRS and I hope that they also come with paddle shift transmission.
In your case, it only depends on you. You want the Mustang NOW or wait for the new model. If time was not an issue, in your position I wait for the '15 model, that will come with many upgrades. Hope that they still keep the 5.0
Also you said that you prefer the V6, but it happens that later on many V6 owners jump to the 5.0 because they want more power. (v6 are also great Mustangs). So to each their own.
Remember the new '12 BOSS, in one year they brought the '13 BOSS. Both look great. But changes are very fast.
In the majority of the cars big design changes take about 5 years, that way you enjoy more your design (like it was new), resale value does not affect you that much, etc, etc.

there will always be something bigger and badder on the horizon. it's all just money. enjoy what you have, move on to something else when you no longer enjoy it and can afford to etc..
nobody really knows enough about the 'world mustang' until they release more details anyways, don't lust after it too hard.
