I'll give the '18 credit on the front section when photographed showing the side only, imo when looking at the side profile of the front it looks slightly more aggressive than the '15. However viewed front on or front side perspective, the '18 just looks droopy and weird.
I suppose like anything, you see enough of it and persuade yourself that it looks okay. But then you put it next to a '15 and you realise that it doesn't. The '05 and '15 looked great from day one , with the 18 you need to try and find angles where it looks good

So true. Plus I don't want to persuade myself to like something that IS ugly.

I never liked the 5th Gen, and the common opinion on 6th gen reveal was that it looks like a fusion. :D

I just think that the first pics of the facelift were really ugly. The video of the yellow one with the washed out colors and low contrast was the worst kind of video you could make of this car. Now with better pictures I like the facelift, even though it can look stupid on some angles (but I always though that about the pre-fl too).

I just think people love their (mostly modded) 6th gen so much, that sometimes they have to hate the stock facelift just to make sure they have the best mustang.

I thought the 05' was the worst Mustang to date. I still think it's horrible up until 2010 then it got better looking.

Completely AGREE!!! :cheers:

I think it only got slightly better looking in 2011. I liked the New Age body style, The Fox, and original. But once I saw and drove the S550, it quickly became my favorite.

Respectfully disagree!:cheers:
Hey, at least I didn't compare it to the 2nd generation. That has the worst body designs IMO out of any Mustang.

I think some people are remembering the S550 debut with rose colored glasses.

A LOT of people were saying the S550 only looked good from certain angles.

'05 rearend with the '11 frontend.
saw this combo at a meet. Looked nice from all angles. Rear vents like a '69 Stang, I think they came from Galpin.
