No doubt. Your eyes don't follow the flow, they seem to get hung up on what looks to be two patches on the front of the hood. The aftermarket should make it better though.

I hate that they changed the character line just outside the hood vents, and it has to make a silly jog outside to match up with the rest of the body lines. It's so much cleaner on the 15-17.

i quite like the brown one. with matt black stripes and gt350 wheels it could look good. Still think the front end looks pants compared to the previous one though.

I wonder if they felt constrained due to the lowering of the hood front (ped) and didn't think they had as much to work with? Though something along the lines of the Shelby hood and vent style would have looked much better.

There is no Azure Blue. I did state, a few pages back, if they bring out a '19MY Mach 1 in Azure Blue, my bank account would be trouble.

Azure Blue was last seen on the '03/'04 Mach 1. I'd say it's a few shades darker than Grabber Blue

That was the same one I had, loved it-automatic

I agree with Bmac. They should have used more styling hints from the gt350 which most people agree looks amazing.

We finally caught the 2018 Mustang GT and EcoBoost out testing in a few colors/wheels combinations.

Here are Shadow Black, Lightning Blue and the new Royal Crimson. The Royal Crimson EcoBoost prototype can be seen wearing the new 19-inch Ebony Black Painted Aluminum Wheel. See this thread for more about the new wheels.

We'll update this as more are captured (Orange Fury is likely coming soon). Enjoy :cheers:

Just a slightly more Burgundy version of Ruby Red. We need a nice purple like Dodge and Chevy. And the Kodiac Brown from the F series. P,us, I see the now smaller tri-bar DRL LED's are still dull and dim, barely visible on a cloudy dark day. Come on Ford, put some life into those weak arse headlights. And, now the darn car is 45-70 lbs heavier with more options now becoming standard. The future GT500 replacement had better throw down done impressive stats, because everyone else had now surpassed the super stang in every aspect. This new mustang beast needs an automatic to compete....

The new DI/Port injected V8 had better be reliable. Ecoboosts have been doing a lot of Ecoboom lately.

Front end looks kind of high off the ground and cants upward. This would cause lots of lift at higher speeds. I'm not liking that. Just like the 15-17's hood, stuck out over the headlights by an inch near the nose/tear duct area of the car, causing the hood to bow like a sail filling with air above 80 mph. A very unsettling thing to see. Let's not forget the dull, dim tribar DRL, LED's. Still not putting much light out. The car needs to be lowered too. Sits high like a 4x4...

You can't even compare them? Not even close to being the same.

One is PI/DI the other is only DI. One is FI, the other isn't. One is 2.3l the other is a 5l...

FI + DI is definitely prone to more risk because of load and predet, LSPI.

You can't post positive comments in this thread you know.
It is the spittoon of threads for s550 owners.
Cough up your bile boys, get if off your chest.

So what you're saying is, only the people who AGREE with the changes are allowed to have an OPINION? Beauty is in the eye of the beholders.

I thought the refresh was growing on me, but these pics in the wild are telling me otherwise.

Profile views of the lower front aren't doing it for me at all. Is that a shelf off someone's garage wall for a splitter?

:doh:

Pictures dont do justice. You really have to see this in person. It looks alot better in person
