Legal wise they must be ok ,I don't know but they look very low and if you were close to the back in another car ,say at traffic lights it would be hard to see them if a blinker was on as you would be looking up higher where the other tail lights are located .  Hand brake still looks wrong ,looks like its meant for a left hand drive car .  Think its the cup holders that make it look wrong . At the end of the day these are only my thoughts which mean NOTHING   But hey sounds like the blinkers will be going up top anyway .
totally agree Glenn....Europe is getting clear lenses, I assume the same for OZ...clear lenses just don't look right

Nice shots. Did you take any others? Perhaps with the top down?

Test drove several - 50th Anniversary Fastbacks - and Convertibles in both 5.0 litre and the EcoBoost.

The 5.0 litre in both models was superb - no head room at all in the fastback though. I'm 5'8" and I was crouching!  Great seats, sports steering mode and traction control off. Personally the convertible is the way to go if you want more head room.

The EcoBoost is a fantastic motor and the Yanks are already "adding on" components to increase performance.
But a 4 cyl in a  Mustang just doesn't sit well with me .... JUST MY OPINION!

From what I have seen the new mustang kicks butt in respect to the way it looks. So 4 or 8 cylinders is okay with me. Pros and cons with both. Just can't wait til they arrive and are cruising around the place...   :thumb:

Had a sit in the 2015 mustang last night and totally agree - fantastic seats but not much headroom.

Although I may be a long way off being able to afford one, I do want one and that's not good news for someone who is 6'3"!  :ouch:
I don't much like the look of the convertible, IMO fastbacks look much meaner...

there is a lot of adjustment in the seats, did you have the seat adjusted all the way down?
I'm about 5'8" and had no problem. :thumb:
Just spoke to a friend of mine he's 6'1'' he said it was fine.

I assumed they were talking about the front, and had me worried for a while there..

A lack of headroom in the back seat of any Mustang would be the least of my worries! I'd have to cut off my legs just to get in there!
... Besides, the steering wheel and pedals are in the front..  :evilone:

Anyway, good to hear I should be OK!

If you placed an order in March this year, what model would we be getting; the 2015 or 2016 and would anyone one know when the Ford factory 2016 models would be available in Australia?
