What would prevent you from buying the S650?

[inspecto]

I’m kinda shocked that I’m the only one who’s said anything about the auto start/stop so far, lol.

I’m sure you could eventually turn it off in the the ECU when we’re able to finally get in. But who knows when that’ll be.

I didn't know it had auto start/stop. I hate it, that alone would stop me.

Per the Order guide only the Ecoboost has stop/start.

" Mustang GT: ● Engine – 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 (Stop/Start System not available) "

Some of the reviewers who had the GT also had the auto start/stop. Some of the guys already confirmed it on 7G as well unfortunately.

Thanks for clearing that up. I hate auto start/ stop. Glad i brought a 2023 the last s550.

Don't like the dash with ipad, nothing look retro or related to mustang heritage design.

Ford is trying hard to make to make new mustang global sport car acceptable to global retarded taste!

No AM radio.

who still listens to AM radio?

Besides the ECU being locked down, I’m not a fan of the gaudy iPad screens that don’t seem to match the interior, the Camaro-like design in the back, the auto start/stop, and the rear end as the crease look is too exaggerated for my liking...

All of that, plus that blunt, truck-like front end looks stupid to me.

My idea of a sporty car is that it should be streamlined and look like it, so Ford did pretty well with the GT350, and screwed the pooch pretty hard with the 2005 Mustang and the 2024.

Overall styling awkwardness. Ugly front and dash and start/stop.

I do! All of our local sports radio is on AM.

My bank account balance.

Also I think they are ugly. But to be fair, I didn't like the 2010 refresh but then bought a 2012 Mustang 3 years later. Oh and when the S550 came out I swore I would never own one. However, I love my 2017 Mustang GT

So clearly my taste in cars is fickle. Not sure my bank will ever catch up though

I'm with you on this... I was an '04-'09 fan, didn't much care for the '10 plus until my son came home with one and I really liked the interior better than my '08's rubbermaid interior. Then the S550 was announced and I thought "No way"...doesn't even resemble the retro re-do that Ford did on the S197. Then about 2017 I started lusting for the '18's and now finally have a '22.

Took that long for my bank account to get caught up.

I can't get past the exterior of the S650. I'm not "mad" at the interior but all the reasons against it others gave have merit.

Unless the S650 gets better looking in a future refresh - or the next gen Mustang looks/performs better - my S550 may be my last Mustang. They may all be electric by then anyway...lol.

Was curious as to what would prevent some others from buying it to see if my dislikes were common or it's something else altogether.

Not enough of a jump in tech/performance to merit the $20k cost over my current S550.

A lack of a new shelby GT 350 in s650 form. Without that model with a bigger motor and hardcore MT, I'd opt to buy a used one in s550 form.

I’m hoping for a refresh as well.

The dash, garage space, and the avoidance of a first year edition. I'll Let the kinks get worked out and grab one after I ditch one of my S550s in a few years....maybe.

Garage space. Never enough garage space.

The driveway is maxed out too!

Tony, you have a problem.

No, people were mistaken. It was cleared up.

So far there's 0 real information that there will be ASS on the car.
