New Official Poll - Do you like the MY 2018

I didn't like it at first but to be honest, the design has grown on me and I actually like it.

To be honest, I hated it first, but the official photos made it better. But after digesting it, I wouldn't buy it. I didn't get an original S550 for various reasons, and I won't be getting this refreshed one. I didn't like the headlights on the original S550, but the new one is worse. Also the fog light area reminds me of the new Prius.

I'm hoping Ford doesn't screw up the 2020 S650 Mustang looks.

I voted yes in both polls. I did vote after the official pics were released in both polls. The new front does look a lot better to me. Even after watching "cream corn" a few times I started to warm up to it after the initial shock.

"Cream Corn" lol. The official title of the original leaked video. I like it! :lol:

I love the '15 and for the most part this refresh still carries that look. I like minor things like the trapezoid around the license plate in the back and the digit speedometer. But I am not a fan of the running lights and tail lights angular design. Minor dislikes. It's a good looking car. But at the same time I am particularly biased towards the '15.

I didn't like the refresh the first time I saw it.. but I now believe this was due entirely to the color it was shown in. That Orange looks bad in certain angles, in Magnetic the 18 looks stunning.. meaner, sleeker and I like the update on the tail lights, they look even better.

Overall, I'm digging it.. but I'm betting the price will put a few people off Lol.. like myself.

I disliked the look at first but I honestly I have almost no reaction when I see it now -- actually having to take a second to think about this -- "is that a '15-17 or an '18?" It may not be the best refresh that makes you think --'I want that so bad', but it is certainly acceptable and reasonably attractive and if it makes 455 hp few will care. If I didn't have a '16 now and was in the market, would I buy the '17 or '18? I think it would be a tough decision.

I think if the car looked like the blue concept I would like it more but sure am glad it doesn't look like the purple concept. See haters...it could have been worse.

I went from resounding "No" to indifferent. I don't hate it, but it does not look better than the 15-17. Some of the cheap retro details look like crap, droopy face aside.

Lol, wish I could take credit for the CC edition video name but I saw it somewhere else.

It looks so much more like the GT350 I don't know how you can object. The hoodline is much lower, the sight line from the driver's seat will be a lot better, and it just looks meaner. Much improved.

Hi there


It looks better on the outside from every angle, except the front, though I do think the front has a lot more potential to look amazing compared to the current one because it does have the GT 350 more aggressive front-end; to accomplish this I feel:
- Get rid of the new glossy grill or spray it matt black (plastidip)
- Put some stone guards on the front lower bumper in the corners as seen in some photoshops
- Add front splitter
- Get a hood with large center bulge and two smaller side vents.

I think then its right up there with the GT 350.

The interior, the tech, extra power are of course all real nice welcomed additions.

Everything that bothered me about the S550 design is finally solved with this one.

My thoughts, as well.

I think it would be better to save the big hood bulge for the GT500 or maybe the Mach 1. Y'know, to distinguish them from the lower powered trims. Otherwise, people will be whining and crying then because the up-trim models don't look enough different from the initial regular ones.

Really, unless you've got a supercharger or big intercooler that needs more 'headroom', a hood bulge is flat-out fake on a car with a multiport EFI motor.

After seeing it more, its growing on me. But i still dont care for the front bumper. It just looks too mechanical vs the organic look before. But looks are subjective. Hopefully looks better in person.

Significant change from the original poll!
