It's a minor change on the front end. Looks can easily be changed
I think this.... Some company will get it and make a fascia closer to the 15-17 models then they wont have anything to complain about.. except headlights. But man id hate to be in the circle of friends with the person that made a decision on a car based on headlights

Butt Hurt Comment

He's butt-hurt for not getting the 2018. That's why he keeps trying to
justify his purchase.
No not at all, in fact I am glad I purchased my 2017.
I am enjoying my car now. Plus I don't see how I could
swing everything I wanted at the price point I was looking
for. 1st year changes put me off. I love the muscle car
looks of my 2017. Not a fan of the Front Fascia of the 2018.
I have voiced my opinion in several posts. Saying all that
I will say this - I like what the new coyote HP/TQ Numbers
are - I am sure there is more HP / TQ that can be squeezed
out of that motor with additional mods / tune. Aftermarket
will take care of options for the Front Fascia. Prices will come
down next year - incentives will help. After a year or so we
we see if any issues pop up with the new model. If not I would
have purchased one late next year. I am sure it's going to be
a great car to own. But I am happy with my car now.

Well enjoy your 2017 and leave the 2018 to the rest of us who are interested in buying one. I don't think we need your help.

Glad I bought my 17 PP for 30K OTD, doubt I would get price on a 2018. Yes the 18 is nicer, sleeker and more hp but the 2020 will probably be nicer, sleeker more hp etc my point is that they'll always get better and faster just like a laptop computer, so buy it now and enjoy it.
Can you share where you purchased?

Sorry to bust your bubble bud but the S550 doesnt look muscle car like at all. The older gen mustangs looked more muscular.

Disagree. 2015-2017 looks just as classy as....

Whereas '18's designs clues go in some other direction.

Poll is stupid.
Where is: I plan to buy 2018..?


My decision to buy a 2018 is not based off of any criteria listed. It is because of the new engine, & new suspension being offered. I could care less how the front facia looks, it is just aesthetics.

Oddly enough, after seeing 2017 next to 2018 daily, I prefer the 2018 design. There car has more presence & mean stance. By next year, most of you will see it too.

The poll was designed to gauge interest or non interest in a 2018 model.
From first time buyers or current mustang owners. People who purchased
a 2017 who wished they purchased a 2018 or why 2015-2017 owners are
happy with their cars and don't see it worth purchasing a 2018. So far 83.52%
Don't see a reason to trade up or purchase for the reasons listed in the poll. :cool:
