A nice car, I'm sure but they just look so bloated...no offense, just MO. If you are getting an automatic, to me the Charger looks so badass and four usable doors is a huge advantage. That's what I cross-shopped the most when buying my '16 GT but in the end, just love the 'Stang.
I can believe the quad exhaust, horsepower bump and LED headlights. I assume "new transmissions" is just the 10spd, if they decided to put TR-6060's in the GT's I'm going to be pissed :doh:.
Oh, I understand design language. Did you know that I've worked at a Ford dealership for the past 17 years. I bleed Ford blue. I even have a Mustang tattoo (a little overshare, my apologies). The first car I ever owned was a Mustang. I've owned more Mustangs than anything else. I always want to like the latest and greatest Mustang, but the S550 just doesn't work for me.
While I have owned 3 different S197's, the one that was the most retro looking (my '07 GT) is the one that I liked the least. My 2011 and 2014 GT's looked less retro and I liked them better. Also, I really like the looks of Fox Body Mustangs (and T-Birds). I've owned 5 of them total, none of which was "retro" styled. I bought the Challenger because I wanted a big comfortable V8 RWD coupe and Ford doesn't offer one. A modern day Ford Torino would be awesome. The Aussie Falcon FPV would be interesting here. But, Ford does not offer a car like this and the S550 Mustang styling just doesn't do it for me.
I don't plan on boosting my Scat Pack. No racing planned for it, nor any mods. I bought it as a daily driver. I kept my '14 Mustang for track duty.
Ford did very well with the S550, agreed. It has brought many new customers to Ford. Heck, it's the 4th best selling Ford at the dealership I work for and we were #2 in Mustang sales volume in our entire state last year, so it certainly helps me pay my mortgage, so for that I'm grateful.
I think the current Fusion front end looks much better than the current Mustang. It just flows better, while the Mustang just looks awkward. The Evos concept looked pretty damn cool; too bad the Fusion nailed it better than Mustang did. The GT350, however, looks pretty damn good up front. The 2018 refresh would be much improved if it looks more like the GT350.
Maybe so. Consider, though, that Mustang & Camaro are smaller cars ("pony cars"), while the Challenger is a bigger car ("musclecar"). That's what I was getting at. Everyone likes to compare these three cars, but the Challenger isn't really an apple-to-apples comparison.
The front corners are just too busy with the fog & marker lights crammed in together. The rear edges of the headlights should be canted forward, IMO. The heat extractors on the hood are goofy looking. And, while many people seem to like them, I don't like the raised character lines on the hood. The GT350 is a huge improvement on all counts, IMO. YMMV.What about this looks unfinished?
I think it would be awesome if csneed623 is correct. Also I am interested in if the 10 speed makes it to the mid cycle refresh.
Disagree on all points. I love just about everything you seem to hate so much about this car you sell. Maybe you shouldn't work at a Ford dealership.
I'd like to think so. Only time will tell on that one, though!
Yeah, I think so too. Take a look at my rendering at page 14, I think it could be kind of close to what changes we can guess according the mule atm.
The Tribars are still in nearly the same position so I doubt they would be legal as DRL in europe now. Some pictures kind of look like angel eye lights on the HID, so maybe they will use that for export markets. But in the end we don't really know the reason the current tribars didn't make it to the export model.
...And this...
...and expect a positive response. :headbonk:
