2018 Ford Mustang Interest Poll

I'm looking forward to getting the GT or souped up hybrid they come out with for the S650. This one should be paid off then too.

I bought my 2017 never owning a Mustang in my life. I just don't think a Mustang GT is anywhere close to a $50,000 car. I already knew I liked the Mustang when I test drove a 2016 GT Premium with the performance pack. I custom ordered a brand new 2017 exactly how I wanted it and got an amazing deal on it to boot.

The same Mustang GT spec'd how I have my 2017 is close to $47,000. Exactly what I knew was going to happen. It's simply too much money for what they offer. I can make my 2017 easily better for still less money with a tune, some bolt ons, and new wheels/tires. Besides, I really like Grabber Blue too.

No option in the poll for me ... I keep my Stangs 5 or 6 years and I've had my 2016 only 15 months.

If I were in the market, I could live with the changes. Not too keen on the price hike if I were to want something equivalent to what I've got now.

To get a Base EB equipped the way mine is I'd now have to get the 101A Package. I like the base dash I've got & simple HVAC (same as 2018 100A), but if I want the Power Seats and mandatory (for me) Driver Lumbar you must order 101A ... out the door car will be over $2300 more than I paid for my '16 and will be without the $475 Over-the-Top Stripes; so really closer to $2800 more.

What extras would I be getting for that $2800 ??
* Electronic Line Lock
* Launch Control
* Nicer looking Exhaust Tips (Rolled)
* Hood Vents
* LED Head Lamps & Daytime Running Lamps
* LED Front Park/Turn Lamps
Plus 101A Features:
*9 Speaker Stereo & Amp
* Dual Zone Auto Temp Control
* Reverse Sensing System
* Selectable Driving Modes & the "Cool Toggles"
* Sirius XM
* 8" LCD Display and all other Sync 3 features

Also, the formerly std. FOG LAMPS are NLA on base EB, must go Premium to get them. But seeing that they are no longer a stand-alone lamp assembly, just inserted in the inner ends of the turn signal lamp assy's, I can't believe they are as functional as the '15-17 Fog Lamps.

Above worth $2800 or 12% more than I paid for my 2016 ?? NOPE !!

Will keep the '16 indefinitely.
After the warranty expires, future mods will be limited to mild suspension upgrades and a Lund tune.

All of the 2018 mechanical/performance and technology upgrades are great.
Decent HP/TQ increase.
Quad tip exhaust looks really awesome, but not impressed with the tone/sound
quality...prefer Borla.
Would have been all over over a '19 N/A CPC 5.2 Mach 1, however....I cannot get on board with the restyled front end.
I have seen it in person, and it will not grow on me. I will not "learn" to like it.

If the S650 is smaller, lighter with less front overhang, displays styling that truly "knocks it out of the ballpark" and offers a N/A, S/C or Ecoboost V8...it may replace the '08 GT.

Not ready for a hybrid yet.

"Ordered or will order because all of the above (1-6) except post comments. "

I wasn't in a position to buy a new car until now (this winter). I have no interest in buying used or getting less than exactly what I want. (I buy cars infrequently*). Since the timing is right for the new model year with all the changes, it's a no brainer for me.

*actually, I buy a lot of things "infrequently". Phones, tvs, computers etc. I tend to buy the latest and greatest at the time I'm ready to purchase, then keep for a long time. Works for me. Some people like to trade up every few years and that works for them. I like to hold onto things longer.

Has poll now. Will vote.

Voted S550. It will be on another level.

Keeping my '16 to avoid more car payments if I go with an' 18. With only a torque upgrade for the '18, it isn't worth it. I do like the digital dash because I work with technology on a daily basis. I like all the customizations.

Not buying an '18 because I just bought a '15 almost 3 years ago. I keep a car until someone totals it for me or the damned wheels fall off and I cannot see putting another dime into it.
But I will say, I personally like the new styling, love the new hood and profile and I've gone apeshit over the Orange Fury paint. New variable exhaust is a hoot too! Lots of great upgrades, even if you don't go Performance Pack.

After I test drive the new manual I will make my decision to order. I hated the clutch in my 13 and 15. If they smoothed it out and made it more linear I will gladly order another.

Interested in seeing test results when media reviews are in, but so tempted to pull the trigger, I love the look of orange fury.

I love my 2016 and have no wanting what so ever to upgrade (if that's what ya wanna call it) to a 2018. I have no wanting for the extra horses now. I don't care for the digital dash. Active exhaust does not interest me. And I still have a strong dislike for the new-look front. I think I will wait until 2nd or 3rd year of s650. And even then, I will probably still keep my 2016.

To everyone who is planning on buying 2018..... I sincerely hope you totally enjoy your cars and that you will not be disappointed. :cheers:

Not interested because I already got a 2017 Shelby GT350.

GT350 > all 2018 mustangs minus GT350

Love your profile picture.

Interested but I am too upside down on my 2016. S650 will be here by the time I resolve that matter.
