I never buy a first year car, always issues. The engine is total redesign and a new 10 speed auto spells recalls to me. I'll take the 17 over the 18 any day.

Ive played this game before. Even if you get the 2018, the 2020 is right around the corner. Get the '17 and have Lund tune it and you GTG!

A few months versus 2 years isn't exactly relative.

What info is available for the 2020 cars?

Will it even have a V8 or will it have ecoboost of some sort?

I want a V8 and manual tranny thank you....the 18 refresh will fit the bill nicely!

They will have front clips for the 18s very soon after release. That seems to be the biggest thing people dont like. So many other goodies that you can get on the 18 that people want, I say its worth it to get it and just put a new front clip on it.

If you were shopping for an automatic I would seriously consider waiting for an 18. 6 speed to 10 speed should be a dramatic difference.

If you're shopping for a base manual car I don't think the changes would be as dramatic. So unless you're in love with the styling, don't mind the extra wait, and are prepared to pay a few grand more; I would go with a 17.

Full disclosure: I ordered a 17 base gt PP back in March.

You'll enjoy Lighting Blue. I'm an owner of a PP. Fantastic car. I hate the 2018s though.

I hate the front end of the 18. But like the rear. I would go 17

Have any of the new vehicles receiving the same 10 speed had issues?

^agreed. Ill never buy a auto mustang so its no selling point to me. Mark my words there will be tranny and fuel related issues at first

Decision Time Coming ....

And the count down begins - Just two weeks away before I pull the trigger either way on a 2017 0r 2018. Waiting on Ford to provide me a good reason to purchase a 2018 - Engine specs at least - we all know they won't provide pricing until the fall.

Leaning towards the 2017 right now because of the discounts / budget considerations. Also the aftermarket is ripe with 2015-2017 parts.
Love the 2017 styling (front end) and already have a nice build list put
together to make this a special car. April 28-30th will be when I put my finger
on the trigger - stay tuned guys and gals. ;)

Just pull the trigger already.

In the end, real world figures between the two on the streets will be minimal. Everything looks great as bullet points.

I can think of no reason to buy the old car,

That's probably what the Fusion Sport buyers thought too. Same car, all they did was drop in a V6TT, some bigger brakes, and adaptive shocks. What could possibly go wrong.
