Official: 2018 Ford Mustang Refresh Detailed! (Options/Features, Specs, Photos, Info)

... but still I feel like adding these new details and angles is going to make the car age more poorly. Simpler is generally better for long term aesthetic appeal.

Take those tail lights in particular. While they look good to me right now, I feel like they're trying too hard to look futuristic, and people's ideas of that kind of thing usually changes over time.

Agreed. You've done a better job of defining the taillight matter than anything I've read or been able to put into words myself.

Here is a video from the NY auto show.

Still not digging the orange. They need to stir in a little more red. Looks a little like metallic school bus.

I think they mean the vents. The vents do look rather tacked on. Hoping this is pre-production and the production variants will be a little better, but it's pretty late in the game for that.

I agree about the hood vents. Even if they just dug them in a little similar to this drawing of the blue GT500 they would look great. Maybe some aftermarket inserts will achieve this deeper dug in effect on a smaller scale ... rather than the fill the hole effect of the current ones. They would also be more functional by pulling more air through the radiator or intercooler if you have turbo/supercharger.

If only it would

Actually from all the images and videos I've seen so far it looks very much like Grabber Orange, which is more orange than School Bus Yellow.

That last video shows more detail about the new improved steering wheel buttons:

- Audio group moved from the right to the left top and now including the mute button
- Scrolling buttons moved from the left to the right top and now including voice activation
- Right bottom cluster revised, now including new pony button for storing/retrieving personal drive mode settings and new buttons for direct access to sync settings, audio settings and navigation.

I guess no chance to upgrade an actual 2015 steering wheel to the new thicker and heated one...

Great Comparison !!!

The 2018 will really push FMC Mustang sales ahead. The new refresh will hit a grand slam once the order bank opens in July. Remember this is still a refreshed Generation 6, with some direction into Generation 7 down the road. Once you see the car in person ,all doubts about it fade away...........................:ford:

I love the blind spot monitoring on my Mustang because I hate the little bubble mirrors you get otherwise, and the rear cross traffic detector has saved me from close calls many times where you have large trucks or SUVs parked on both sides of you and can't see anything when backing out of a parking space. Forcing people to get the ugly lower grill with ACC sensor and all the other nagging features might be a deal breaker for me. I could get by just fine without BLIS and rear cross traffic alert, but after having it for the past 2.5 years on my other Mustangs, I think I'd miss it and would feel like a downgrade in a way. Another thing now pushing me away from the 2018 and towards keeping my 2016.

I think it would be nice to have the option to order or delete the features you want or don't. Backup/Reverse Sensors was one of the four options that didn't come on the Limited Edition cars. I've added them and still hoping to get them to work properly. BLIS has saved me a couple times backing up and when going to change lanes. I've added the CDC Convex Sequential Turn Signal Mirrors and now have Zero Blindspots while Driving. Adaptive Cruise Control on a Long Trip would finish it all off. Some days, you just want to Cruise and enjoy the ride, not fiddle with turning the Cruise on and off or hitting the brake pedal to disengage.

Ford is slowly improving and sometimes gives us a choice.

621 miles to e? So is that a fake gauge cluster reading then?

It's also showing 84MPGs. Definitely fake, unless it's supposed to be some hybrid Mustang or something. Or filling up and coasting down a very large mountain.

It's pretty obvious that the same company does Mustang and Jaguar steering wheels. Probably the LCD dash too;

Hell, there's a lot of switch-gear that looks similar to FOMOCO Mustang stuff. The colors too.
