Default 2013 Mustangs (Eff the GT500)

More on the 2013 'affordable' Mustangs

So, they pretty much took all of the little nit-pick problems, and fixed them. New tail light design, the concave looks awesome. GT500 grille bezel is standard for all (I have always said they should do this!), HID headlights standard (skeptical of the LED bars), NO MORE BLACK PLASTIC TRIM!. The select-shift for autos and hill-start for manuals is good, too. Perhaps the most 'buzz' generating edition is that track app deal. Probably has a high margin of error, but damn that would be fun to play with.



Deep impact blue (I'm in love)

The 2013 Ford Mustang offers a more aggressive design with a significantly more prominent grille, a new splitter and body-colored rocker panels. The rear has been updated with a high-gloss black panel that connects the tail-lights, while the lenses themselves get a new smoked appearance.

Also new for the Mustang are standard high-intensity discharge (HID) head-lights on both V-6 and GT models, as well as LED detailing front and rear. The standard wheel size on the base V-6 is 17 inches but the available V-6 Performance Package and the GT model offer wheels measuring up to 19 inches.

One interesting feature is the side mirrors, which feature a pony projection light. These cast the image of the Mustang’s famous pony emblem on the ground when the unlock button is activated. New colors-- Deep Impact Blue and Gotta Have It Green--also join the existing color palette for 2013.

and there’s now a handy 4.2-inch LCD integrated in the main instrument cluster. This screen features a special option called Track Apps, which delivers performance metrics for drivers right from the factory. The app measures g forces, shows acceleration times in quarter-mile and 0-60 increments, and displays braking times, complete with automatic and countdown starts.

I love the new front end and GT/Boss hood. I will reserve my thoughts on the tail lights till I see them in person.

I think these tail lights are much better than how they were on 10-12, the amount of light surface area seems a bit small, though.
