There’s been some speculation that after Ford’s big multi-continent reveal of the all-new 2015 Mustang that the new pony car will not be seen in public again till the New York Auto Show in the spring. As you can see from the photos taken today at Cobo Hall while the big Detroit show is being set up, the new Mustang be on display. Not just on display, Ford is making a big deal out of the new car and the nameplate’s 50th anniversary. A 1965 Mustang will be on display along with at least one concept car that was part of the original Mustang’s gestation and Ford has set up a Mustang memorabilia shop where attendees to the public part of the NAIAS will be able to buy personalized Mustang mementos. The most obvious sign that the ’15 Mustang will be on display was a 2015 Mustang convertible already on a turntable, under a sheet of protective plastic. An empty turntable nearby will probably hold the coupe.

It wasn’t on the show floor yet, but the fact that there was a sign on the wall of the Cadillac display that read, under its protective coating, “Elmiraj”, means that Cadillac’s highly praised show car, thought to be the basis of Cadillac’s anticipated large flagship sedan (or coupe, according to some reports) will join the new Mustang at the ’14 NAIAS.

    Given that it was the centerpiece of the Ford booth at CES this past week it'd be pretty silly if it wasn't also at Detroit. I have to say that after seeing it in person I'm not so keen on the look from the front. Hopefully it'll look a little more aggressive with a different grille.

    "A 1965 Mustang will be on display along with at least one concept car that was part of the original Mustang’s gestation" I'm assuming this means the first production Mustang and the 1962 concept car, both of which are normally on display in Dearborn. Can't wait for this auto show. Gonna be a whole lotta awesome

  • VoGhost Interesting. The maga anti-America crowd is so used to being brainwashed into hating Tesla, they didn't realize that it's actually the foreign automakers that use slave labor.

So, can this system detect the root cause of why the driver may be having a "bad day"?Can the system detect when the driver is leaving a GM dealership after an expensive repair (or maintenance, like clearing the carbon deposits on the intake valves of that direct-injected "affordable" 3-cylinder Trax for $1200), or when GM certified says "sorry, that's not covered in your "LIMITED Bumper-to-bumper warranty"?I wonder.Those experiences can make drivers angry and upset.

  • 1995 SC So with a lease the better the car holds it's value then the better you come out since the lease is basically paying the depreciation over the terms of the lease, correct? Assuming it isn't a factory subsidized lease to move a bunch of turds anyway. So if one isn't sure if the company is going to be around lease end, wouldn't that kill the residual and make these bad lease deals (or worse than a lease on something known to hold it's value)? I've always looked at leases as something companies that needed vehicles did.
