Leaked: Official 2015 Mustang photos that are more official than the last official photos

By Nick Jaynes Published December 3, 2013

What you see above are really, really the super serious images of the 2015 Ford Mustang … probably.

These low-res images were first posted on bb9786‘s Photobucket and they show an early delivery copy of the next Autoweek issue. The guy is getting early delivery of Autoweek but doesn’t have a decent camera phone? C’mon!

Yes, the images are surrounded by text but, sadly, we are unable to make out the copy, so we have no new specs for you to drool over.

Delightfully, the images do slightly differ from the previously leaked, ‘official’ Mustang renderings we’ve seen from the Internet’s tubes and from Car and Driver.

I have to say, this is the best-looking version yet – and one that most resembles the Ford Evos concept we have been long told would inspire the lines of the next-gen ‘Stang.

Want to know everything we know so far about the forthcoming pony car? Check out our Everything You Need To Know story … or just wait until Thursday morning when the official, simultaneous global unveiling takes place in Dearborn, Los Angeles, New York, Barcelona, Shanghai, and Sydney.

While I am absolutely in love with these images and cannot wait to drive the 2015 Mustang, I feel terrible for the men who accidentally sent this Autoweek to press a day early. I hope they had good savings … or at least bought Twitter stock.

Volvo’s EX90 electric SUV features an Abbey Road sound system

With deliveries of Volvo’s much-anticipated EX90 model finally coming through in the U.S., drivers who are also music fans may be heartened by discovering what the electric SUV’s sound system is made of.

They might even get a cosmic experience if they decide to play The Beatles’ 1965 classic hit Drive My Car on that sound system: The EX90 is the first vehicle ever to feature an Abbey Road Studios’ mode, providing a sound quality engineered straight out of the world’s most famous music recording studios. The Beatles enshrined Abbey Road in history, when they gave the studios' name to their last album in 1969.

The Lincoln Nautilus gives me hope for legacy automakers’ infotainment systems

Infotainment system in the Lincoln Nautilus

The world of car infotainment systems is in a bit of a sorry state. While the likes of Tesla and Rivian have developed relatively well-designed and easy-to-use systems, legacy automakers are largely struggling. That, of course, is why Apple's CarPlay is so popular, as it essentially allows drivers to bypass their built-in infotainment systems in favor of something actually built by a software company.

After driving the new Lincoln Nautilus for a while, I have some hope. Sure, the Nautilus supports CarPlay, and to be very clear, I largely relied on it during the week. But, it also integrates other aspects of software for an overall system that's actually pretty well-designed.

Ending EV tax rebate could seriously harm Tesla, Chevrolet, and Volkswagen sales, study finds

Many analysts predict that sales of electric vehicles will be hit should the incoming Trump administration carry out its plans to end the $7,500 federal tax incentives on EV purchases and leases.

While predictions vary, with some expecting this would lead to a 27% drop in demand for EVs, research firm J.D. Power took an extra step and asked consumers how rebates had influenced their decision to buy an EV.
