My bad! They switched cars from 4 days ago when I was purchasing my car. I was at the dealer yesterday and took that pic while walking by. Sorry for the confusion.

Also, the grille on the RC350 is different from (or "different than" as they say on TV) the grille on the RC350 F-Sport (which is the grille shown on your original note). Although I am surely biased as I have an RC350, I prefer that grille to the one on the F and on the F-Sport. In other words, there are three different grille looks to this one model, as well as the two different rear fender treatments.

Default Heres to your Mustang

The carryover of the 3.5L and 5.0L are very disappointing to me considering both RC's are heavier. I love the RC, don't get me wrong, but I sure don't love the $30,000+ to get the RC F's HP.
I like when I walk to the parking lot I can spot my car, be careful and don't be confused when you see the other 100,000 Mustangs in your city or even another 25 in the parking lot.

While the Mustang is a very nice car, you would need to ( Pony up ) close to 70-80k to get something unique and have something different than all the school teachers, 25 year old boys, dads in a midlife crisis and maybe even grandma reliving her youth.

Oh did I mention the base model is now a 4 cylinder.

I looked at every car on the market that would cost me 70k and chose the RCF based on the pure fact that it is so refined the quality will be second to none.

The hood lines looks to be different between an RC and RCF too; like the 2nd gen IS versus ISF where the hump near the front of the hood is higher on the ISF.

As noted above, the hood line is different on the F because of the larger V-8 engine. My salesman thinks that not many of the F model will be sold; it's quite a bit more expensive, and the V-6 is quite zippy as it is. In fact, my RC with the V-6 has more HP and more torque than my previous SC430 with a V-8. The engine sound is not quite as nice, being a little higher in the tonal range, but it moves out quite smartly.
