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

By Nick Jaynes 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.

Mercedes-Benz G580 first drive: old-school off-roader goes electric

2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

American car buyers mostly know Mercedes-Benz as a luxury brand. But for decades, the automaker has also produced the tough, rugged G-Class (also known as the Geländewagen or G-Wagen), an SUV not afraid to get its leather upholstery muddy. And now, this iconic Mercedes is going electric.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology — the final name of the SUV previously known as the EQG — isn’t the first electric off-roader. The Rivian R1S and R1T and GMC Hummer EV have proven that electric powertrains and off-roading are a great combination. But the electric G-Wagen is different because it’s based on an internal-combustion model — and a very traditional one at that.

Honda believes hydrogen semi trucks will make the case for fuel cells

Honda hydrogen fuel-cell semi truck.

Honda remains committed to hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, but the market for those vehicles remains limited. So Honda is looking at other uses for fuel cells -- including commercial trucks.

To show how that could work, Honda converted a semi truck to fuel-cell power, replacing its diesel engine with three fuel-cell modules. Together, the three modules produce a combined 321 horsepower, and can propel the truck to a top speed of 70 mph. There's enough onboard hydrogen storage capacity for a 400-mile range with a full load, Honda claims.

Mercedes-Benz G580 vs Rivian R2: Is the much cheaper Rivian actually better?

2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

Mercedes-Benz has finally taken the wraps off of the new "Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology." Yeah, it's a mouthful, but it's basically a new electric G-Wagon. It looks a lot like the G-Wagon you know and love, but with an electric powertrain and a battery. It's not the only electric SUV out there, however, and there are some great ones -- like the Rivian R2.

Both the Mercedes G580 and the Rivian R2 have a lot going for them, but they also approach the electric SUV slightly differently. Is one better than the other? I put the two head-to-head to find out.

The approach that the two vehicles take to design is quite different -- and you might like one better than the other.
