Looks a little too much like the rest of Ford's front ends IMO. Maybe the fogs on GT models will help.

I'm perfectly happy with the exterior of the current generation. Hope Ford doesn't Fushion-ify it too much.

I think we'll see similar headlights and grille but the rest will probably be unique. I would imagine we'll start seeing better spy photos in a couple of months if they're going to debut this in NY in April.

My apologies for the misundestanding, but I meant that the car was bought & then tracked by her owner, not me.
You would have seen a thread by me titled, "So the TL blah blah blah" if I had one of these.

I don't mind driving in the rain so much myself, but it turns the idiots into super-idiots...can't stand that. I do hate driving in the rain at night, though.

Ford Racing EcoBoost prototype sets new Daytona speed record: 222.971 mph
Source: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/...ord-22271-mph/
Ford Racing's new EcoBoost Daytona Prototype will compete in next year's inaugural TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, the merged series that brings American Le Mans and Grand Am together. And it will do it with one heck of a prototype car, from the early look of things. The EcoBoost V-6 prototype engine just set a new speed record at Daytona International Speedway.
The old record was set back in 1987 by Bill Elliott in a NASCAR cup car during qualifying for the Daytona 500, at 210.364 mph.
Ford's new Daytona Prototype smashed that record, recording a lap of 222.971 mph, completing the circuit in just 40.364 seconds.
Driven by Colin Braun, the Michael Shank Racing prototype also set new FIA World Record times for the standing 10-km distance (202.438 mph) and the 10-mile distance (210.018 mph), pending certification by the FIA.
Of course, that's just one car turning laps on an empty track. Next year's challenges will be much more significant, with two prototype classes and three GT classes in the mix all at once.
Still, it looks like Ford Racing and its Roush Yates-built V-6 EcoBoost engine will do well for Michael Shank Racing if it holds up to the rigors of real-world racing.

Now its up to me to find a good job upon graduation. Everything rides on that haha. I honestly dont expect me to get the GTI right away either, it probably wouldnt make financial sense at the time. We will see, it really all depends on my job/pay and what not.

Couldn't get a good picture (trying to drive and take a pic at the same time...not smart), but it is definitely a Cadillac and definitely a coupe. I saw it both yesterday and today on the same freeway (Westbound US60 in Mesa, AZ) at about the same time of day (approx. 10:40 AM):

I can't stop thinking about the new Mazda 6. I've never been this excited over a commuter car before 
it just looks so good.
