Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/07/ford-mustang-to-get-four-cylinder-in-europe-but-not-us/) suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/2015+ford+mustang/) getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost (http://autoblog.com/tag/ecoboost/) engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true (http://www.roadandtrack.com/future-cars/future-car-news/news-2015-mustang-gets-ecoboost-four-in-us-market?src=spr_FBPAGE&spr_id=1459_7246696) - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.

Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.

Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
