Too many of these threads to track now. Are we getting a 2018 section? :)

The bumper is growing on me but those headlights never will. I also prefer the raised hood on the current S550 as it gives a more muscular look.

It's taken the official pics to do it, but the new car's looks have really grown on me. I think it looks crisp. I like the rear end treatment and, just like the 2015+, the front end is a bit of a design challenge but I think it looks more aggressive when seen from most angles - with the exception of dead on.

I just kinda wish they would have brought the hood all the way down to the grille. I hate that piece between the grille and the hood. It's that piece that makes both the 2015 and now the 2018 look kinda dopey from dead on front.

I do like the ford video side by side, I was just looking for pictures I could just look at with out having to fast forward n pause. Since we can't stand back and look at them side by side in real life, I was looking for the next best thing.

I don't get the front-end hate. The '18 is a good looking car.

The visual comparing the V6/EB to the new GT would be better if they had the GT grille and heat extractors

It's growing on me also. I like the headlights better. Orange crush isn't the best choice of colors. Like to see one in black.

You can see how much pulling the hood down change the front end. The slant downwards it's obvious.

This video definitely does the 18MY justice. The more I see it the more I like it but I still think they could've done better with the headlights.

The front end really does look like it transformed into a Jaguar in the video. I just personally feel it got softer. It's not bad looking but it lost the bulkier, muscular look and is more refined.

yeah i'm not sure why they didn't extend the hood all the way to remove that line/seal. Must be an engineering reason why.
