Exactly right. The same trend repeats, and you can see very similar reactions in the early 2015 threads after it leaked.
Yep:
IMO they're finally going in the right direction by adding what some consider standard technology into the 2018. I've seen comparable vehicles with many years on the more recent mustang look much better interior wise. The digital cluster should have been in the mustang 5 years ago.
Can't argue the technological advances in the 2018. I actually thought
That would have been great cosmetically but it would have partially cannibalized their base 350 sells.
Thanks Jarstang! :cheers: I was having too much trouble seeing the exact difference in side-by-side so this was what I thought of to show the subtleties.
I thought so too. Again this might be partially due to a slight perspective difference between the two. I also thought that the top of the grill and lights were moved down but they appear to be in the same place, with some changes to definition and rake around the lights. This might partially be due to the more defined character lines on the '15-17 breaking up the size of the hood visually, with the '18 the hood appears much more prominent to my eyes.
This. For everybody that likes the refresh, great! Not knocking anyone who likes it and buys one. Some of us just really wanted it to come out and be blown away. And when it didn't, there's a little resentment and disappointment there. Still team Mustang! :ford:
We're going to have to agree to disagree on that point. A car that claims to be a 'sports car' (Ford.com) and which has legitimate claims to be at least a 'sporty car' should be able to stand on its own for the driving experience alone. For the Mustang to chase technology that others use to brighten up the ownership experience of less sporty vehicles would be a dilution of its character toward everybody else's luxury orientation.
The issue I have with that statement is I don't believe these bare bones sports cars exist in the way that some enthusiasts would like them to. In the very high-end market of supercars you can find the vehicles with bare cabin internals but amazing speed machines. Unless someone DIY's their vehicle in such a way it, it just wouldn't sell to the masses as a bare performance car at these prices. Muscle cars are needing to change to increase sales. In the end that's all that really matters toward them remaining in production. It's the entire reason it's logical that the V8 will phase out soon in lower end vehicles.
Carl Widmann is Dave Pericak's replacement.
True it's opinion but the design is 90% is the same as the 15-17 & people act like it's a change from the S197 to the S550.
