So the initial pictures of the yellow GT I hated, but other colors look okay. Still like my 2016 better.

The orange paint looks much better in these pictures.
This.

My initial reaction was that I didn't like it. I'm not sure if yellow is its best color, or what the issue was. Seeing it in orange it doesn't look nearly as bad as I thought it did.

"How does it all stack up? We won't have the chance to drive the updated Mustang for another few months, but a Ford engineer told us that the GT Performance Pack with MagneRide is better than the beloved 2012-2013 Mustang Boss 302. So consider our expectations high."

Uhhh...the 2015-2017 GT PP was better on the track than the Boss...

MUCH BETTER pics! i like the rear, still not sure about the front, but I hate it less at this time. I am good with the interior....

Still not worth waiting until fall for IMHO....

Did they take away the color "Guard" or am I missing something?

"Performance Package available on automatic and/or convertible Mustangs"

Holy cow Ford can blow off. Why not offer it for the past three years.
That's a good question. I had suspected at first that they were trying to appease the 'manual or nothing' crowd, but now I'm thinking that the engineers felt the 6R80 (which was actually a ZF design licensed by Ford) might not have been up to the task.

Liking a lot of this, but the refresh is missing a couple of things that competitors have already introduced:

- auto-blipping for the MT
- ability to bring the nav screen into the 12 inch display (never mentioned or shown so far, so very unlikely)
- HUD

Not happy with Ford giving up Lightning Blue for Kona - the former is much classier.

Only wheels I don't care for that we've seen. They look like big versions of the 16-17 EB Pony Package wheels. In this size they look like truck wheels.

Lightning blue is still available. Grabber blue is gone and replaced by Kona Blue

I wonder how much that digital cluster is going to be.... Is it a standard part or optional upgrade?

I bet I can swap one into my 15! Haha!
