I think 2017 GT/GT350 just got an increase in resale values.

I know they are about the same size because of the chassis...but the 18MY looks wide! Not liking the visual cues that lead to that.

On the positive side, there are two things I like, the actual mesh of the grill and the heat extractors.

Overall opinion is "looks hideous", like they're trying to pull a Camaro6g.

I think this chassis doesn't lead to a modern, contemporary look without major redesign (for example, the charger), which is not the point of a refresh. I didn't like the 13MY when it came out, then when I saw it in real life, I actually changed opinions...I don't think it will happen with this one thou.

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'd wait for the beauty shots from Ford (usually Red/Silver colors). Yellow is one of the worst colors to showcase a car for angles. Not sure why they used it.

And it looks 100% better then the C6G but they definitely went more angular vs rounded (looks more Audi S5 '18).

What a disaster --

It looks like a bunch of engineers met at lunch, picked numbers from a hat, and then each went to their offices and one designed the grill, one the lower grill, one the side vent/turn signals, one the headlights, and one the hood, all without knowing what the others were doing -- then met up a week later and made a bumper cover that fit all their parts.

I wish this was a fake video.

Hah you beat me to it. Completely agree.

And no your '15-'17 didn't just go up in value (only when they kill the V8 will it).

Just noticed the straight on back light shot...that's pretty bad ass and really extends the lights/back vs straight up lights). Love that angular look.

Well I seriously dig the new tail lights and the all black diffusor. The rear spoiler looks like crap and the front end for now looks quite iffy to me. This could change irl but so far I really fail to see any improvement.

No way that color is orange fury though. It looks pretty good but I'm afraid it's just Tripple Yellow filmed with a nice filter.

The headlight shape is bad... it ruins the line coming from the profile..the squared off the face by changing the angle of the light housing.. look at the 3 quarter pic and follow the body line... now the light is in no man's land... not a fan.

All owners; - Ewwwww ;)!

Everyone hates new things, always happens, i'll reserve proper judgement until I see it in the flesh, but I really liked the S550 when that got dropped :love::thumbsup::love:

Looks like I will be getting the Carbon Dynamics bumper after all. :doh:
Ford fucked this up!
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:

I'm usually the exact opposite. I usually really like the next coming and envy it to the point that I end up trading in ever 3-4 years. This time I feel indifferent to the face lift. I mean, come on! I traded a '14 GT500 for my '16 GT.. LOL

It's official, Ford have made 2 beautiful Mustangs, the 1st gen and the 6th gen 2015-17. It'll be another 50 years before the net beautiful Mustang...think I'm going to upset a few people on here.:eek:

I was just thinking the same. This is 14-15 all over again. It seemed like no one would buy this car. I'm surprised no one else has pointed out the Michelin's though. Very excited to see those on the PP.

I'm hoping this car is at Daytona so I can see it in person. The more I see it the more I'm liking it. Especially the '68 hood. I just wish we got new PP wheels.
