Yes. Any hemi-head Ford engine any day of the week. But, hey - I'll take one of each. -Kurt

Rule #1: When you'd rather be seen in a '68 Ford Falcon Futura than a 2018 Mustang, it's time to go back to the drawing board and find out where you screwed up, Ford.

There's a big difference: The SRT-8 Super Bee Charger looks great (provided it doesn't have the center of the bumper painted black - YECH). The 2018 Mustang doesn't look good under any circumstances. -Kurt

Agreed. And as polarizing as the '70-71 change may have been, both the outgoing and incoming models at least maintained a forceful, muscular styling suitable to something known as the "Mustang." See that, Ford? Even the '71 knew how to stick the Mustang's nose on the ground in a way that...

Ok, now that's more like it, even with the slight Photoshop oddities. Take those silly steps out of the bottom of the headlamp lenses and maybe it'll look like a Mustang again. -Kurt

If we're talking specifics here, that's a Lotus Elan. Jokes aside, that shark character is a better basis for a car's front end than the 2018 Mustang. -Kurt

Here's the quick and dirty explanation: The grill is a good 2" lower than the current one. Here's what you do: Follow the upper headlamp line forward from the spot where it meets the fender - which is in the same spot as the current S550. The "angry" brow headlamp brings this body line down...

Two people, myself included, understood this gag :cheers: -Kurt

Hey, look, it's an RX-7. -Kurt

I love the Charger and the first-gen S550. This refresh? Ferget it. -Kurt

Are you just saying this off the cuff based on previous federal regulations or can you actually back this up with fact that a specific regulation for the 2018 M/Y actually required lowering the hood line? Right now, I don't believe a word of the regulation argument. Not in a world where the...

Probably a fair description of what went on in the styling studio. "Listen up here - you're to tack on any of the year's hot styling cues onto the Mustang and rush it to the engineers." -Kurt

Between the scoops and that spoiler mated to the S550's roofline, you've got a LOT of Porsche Cayman cues going on back there. Not that that's a bad thing in the least bit. It carries it off a hell of a lot better than the Porsche. -Kurt

"Thanks for the ugly refresh, Ford. You've not only made the old ones more attractive, the laws of used car pricing means that we can now buy the nicer one for less money." -Kurt

Undoubtedly, the source of inspiration for this redesign: -Kurt

Correction: Since 1997. -Kurt

Theory: The guy who redesigned it was the same guy who did the color grading. -Kurt

Get ready to swap the fenders too. Note that the fender stamping has changed to accommodate the droopy headlight. Lots of expense spent for something that ruins the entire side crease of the car. -Kurt

Are the places that you go for automotive design as inept as the rest of the higher educational system? Because the angular cut in the headlights not only requires the fender to be retooled, it eliminates the ONLY reason for the crease along the bodyside to exist (on the '15-17s, that line...

Scion. The styling language may not be identical, but the general idea and greenhouse shape are eerily similar.
