I agree with ironh19, wait for the all new one in 2015. If you can't shake that new car fever and have to buy one now then get a '12, you'll probably save $4000 over a '13.

nah, can't wait that long. Frankly if not for my wife i'd have one right now. Damn her using logic in an argument for once. I think i will get a 2012, i'm sure the 2013 parts (especially the tail lights and hood) will be available soon after. love the heat extractor hood!!

Maybe this will help, 2013 Mustang commercial. I think what I like the best about the '13 is it doesn't have all the unpainted black plastic that the '10-'12 has

You wont even notice 8hp.. and a intake and tune will give you 2-3 times that power and cost way less than what buying a 2013 over a '12 would cost you.

Ill probably buy new 2013 grabber blue, since I have yet to find a used grabber blue with the options i want.. and the dark grey was my #1 color but that stopped after 2011


And Ill be ready for the 2015 lol, im sure as hard as Ill drive mine, ill have to trade it as soon as the warranty is up!

Sterling gray is back in production. It replaced the lava red paint which was imported from Japan and unavailable after the tsunami. There are several gray 2012s built late in the model year around where I live.

Some of the press photos show a medium-dark gray 2013, I think it's a little lighter than the current gray.

Depends on if you like the looks over an '11 or '12.
