Ford at least could come up with gt350 front bumper fascia similar to what Ikon did!

Can someone photoshop it into lightning blue?

Thanks to Ford, somewhere, some lonely whale shark just fell in love.

Nice looking Mustang... can't wait to see what they do with the vert....

Nice little refresh to get ready for 2020....

Haha, yeah this looks odd to me...but I can't quite explain why. Hopefully it looks better in person.

I just keep thinking this...

Absolutely not a fan. The moment I saw the original S550, I knew my STI was getting sold. If I didn't already own an S550 and saw this thing.... I'd buy a Camaro. That front end looks horrendous.

Looks too much like a jaguar!

Looks odd to me. Glad I have my 2016!

Very dissapointed.......

Taste is subjective. I had C4 and C5 Corvettes because I enjoyed the complex curves (like a women's body, I'm not sexist, but that is how we are hardwired, and I loved it). For me the Corvette C7 went off the rails with the transformers angular look, but at least they were consistent. The 6G Mustang had curves that excited me, but with style cues to all of the past Mustangs, to just graft on some angular pieces - doesn't flow, and kills my excitement, I am very disappointed. I loved my 2013 Mustang and love my 2016 Mustang for different reasons. Not loving the early views of the 2018.:(

Here's the quick and dirty explanation: The grill is a good 2" lower than the current one.

Here's what you do: Follow the upper headlamp line forward from the spot where it meets the fender - which is in the same spot as the current S550. The "angry" brow headlamp brings this body line down about an inch lower than the '15 at the inner tip of the headlamp. The grill on the 2018 is level with this line.

So now we're ~1" lower than the '15s headlamp line. And if you factor in that the grill on the '15 rises about an inch higher than the headlamp brow, the grill and hood effectively drop 2" more than on the existing model.

Welcome back SN-95 jellybean styling. We never wanted you back in the first place...

:lol:

If we're talking specifics here, that's a Lotus Elan.

Jokes aside, that shark character is a better basis for a car's front end than the 2018 Mustang.

meh...I like my 15 better.

This reminds me of the SN95 -> new edge refresh. Not as drastic of a style change but the same idea. I never liked the new edge although they kind of grew on me. The terminators looked great though.

The grille and headlights are a good amount lower due to the raked hood (like the S197 and most cars for that matter). The S550 has a very flat hood and tall front end. I like the sporty lower front end but that came at the cost of a smaller loeer grille (maintaining the upper grille height).

I'm looking forward to seeing official photos of better angles rather than screenshots taken from poor angles on a poor video.
