From my experience:

1994-1998 Mustang Owners - Ewwww, I hate the 1999 Mustang
1999-2004 Mustang Owners - Ewwww, I hate the 2005 Mustang
2005-2009 Mustang Owners - Ewwww, I hate the 2010 Mustang
2010-2012 Mustang Owners - Ewwww, I hate the 2013 Mustang
2013-2014 Mustang Owners - Ewwww, I hate the 2015 Mustang
2015-2017 Mustang Owners - You get my drift ;)


Sorry guys, I know it's not all of you (just most!) but this happens EVERY time there's a face lift or new model. Give it 6 months......see some decent photos.....see it in the metal, and I'm sure many will change their tune :)
I've ad 4 mustangs now, every new one that comes out I have fallen in love with since in had my 03 GT, got an 05 next, then loved the 13 refresh and got one, 15 came out and loved it, picked up a 16 GT. JUST saw this refresh, it's he first one where I can say it's hideous. at least in that color, maybe in lightning blue or black it'll look better, but the front end of this is disgusting. The rear end looks great though, the new wing looks good, the tail lights look much better IMO, quad exhaust was hard to see but from what I could see it looked fine. Guess we'll see more detail and decide rom there, but as of now, I'm rather disappointed

Damn, not feeling it! I know it will grow on me but it doesn't look as beautiful as the S550.
It is an S550. Version 2.0.

Hopefully they publish some good photos of it in other colors. That color in the video has to be the least flattering color to possible show the car in.

^^i agree with this. Ford have messed with the proportions and it doesnt look good to the eye. Having said that, i can see how it may grow on me!
Most people said similar things about in early '14 about the '15. ;)

That front end looks like garbage. It hardly even 'looks like a mustang'. I really hope they fix that beforebefore the S650 or they are going to have to really hit it with some performance upgrades for me to even consider it

I'm surprised no one else has pointed out the Michelin's though. Very excited to see those on the PP.
Good catch. Let's hope it's true.

Same was said about the '15. It hardly looks like a Mustang.

Mustang is moving to a world/euro look/design. They want to appeal to everyone, not just muscle car enthusiasts & getting rid of the hood bulge, other things gets them closer to that.

I think it will look great in black, whilst being parked in a dark..very dark warehouse.

I'm not an owner of the S550 and I can tell you the 2018 looks terrible next to the '15 which took a year to grow on me. I will go for a 2017 instead of 2018 or maybe a used 2016 because I love those blinkers on the hood so much.

You realize this is an S550 right? It's a refresh, nothing changed from the middle to most of the back till the lights design. The front is 1" lower but otherwise it's the same other then new fender design and hood design.

You'll be even more disappointed with that purchase after it never shows up. Please search CD's lack of customer service on this forum and elsewhere and you will understand why no one should purchase anything from them.

Just looking out :cheers:
Or it delaminates and splits in half going down the highway like their hood.

Thanks for posting this. I was afraid I might regret getting an 16', but not anymore. Not feeling the refresh. They made it less aggressive and more feminine.

Looks like they just gave up at the lower grille. Even just covering up that lower grille with my thumb makes it look better... Idk why they didn't at least use the same grille style top and bottom. Would have made it more cohesive and less busy.

It really does look like the lowest/cheapest trim level IMHO
