2018 Mustang Convertible Debut

[Spartan]

Now I will say. With the sloping angles up front now I think this looks better in a convertible than the 15-17. It helps the profile flow better. But seeing pictures with the top up is import. The cloth is what usually kills it for me.

Looks really good and yes waaaaay better then the 15-17.

It really needs to be a hard top vert

God I hope not... you want to kill the trunk space? I'll pass on a hard top... Nice having a trunk I can actually use for a weekend getaway for two... and not have to put the top up because my bags are in the backseat. Or worse, like an ex girlfriend's car, having to unpack and leave stuff because you have a small two seat car with no trunk space. lol

Current cloth top is just fine... no issues with it.

Not so sure I agree. I really like the trunk space available now with the soft top. Much harder to get that with a hard top. Maybe the S650 will give us both.

Damn... Ford actually managed to make a convertible look good!




What is sad though is that the convertible looks better then the coupe IMO...

Sign me up....my next car! Can't wait! Anyone seen Royal Crimson on a car?

I will be honest with you in saying I really despise convertibles. However, this looks good!

I'm with you. Feeling that Aston sexiness.

AGREE 100%, hard tops kill the trunk space, BMW is regretting their 4 series hard top and will be moving that back to soft top in the next gen (i guess the word is in china they LOVE hardtops and that business case won out during product planning) MB is sticking with softtops for the C. Only place the hard top makes sense is in a touring roadster where the smaller top will save some trunk space. Think about 2 sets of golf clubs with the top down, what fun is it to cruise to the course with the top up. And in reality even with the top up the mechanism eats so much space not much can fit in

The hardtops on 4 seaters end up looking awkward and weird because of the breaks and adjustments that need to be made to fit in the trunk. I had a mustang vert rental this summer and was able to fit all my wife and my luggage for a 2 week trip in the trunk top down

I will admit, the '18 looks much better in convertible form. I think that's because the roof line mismatch isn't present.

'15-'17 Coupe

'18 'vert

I think it's because of the angle the photo. Nearest angle of the coupe to this convertible shot is this.

And it is beautiful, I think.

Yeah and a station wagon can hold more bags and people. Even though it takes up trunk space, I still like hard top vents better. They look much better with the top up than a soft top

Need to see it with the top up. Will probably look fugly.

 

[Turbong]

Front end looks much better with the vert than the coupe, probably because it doesn't flow right with the top. The front is very busy and defined, the second thing that helps it a lot is those wheels they match the front and back very well with the angles, those are definitely the best rims for this design.

I'm not a convertible guy but this looks damn sexy.
