2018 Mustang GT Revealed (Video)!!

[Nuked]

To me the front looks very similar to the Focus ST. I don't really mind the lower hood or the headlights but the grill appears to be flush with the bumper, which I don't like. I prefered the indented look from before. The ducting under the headlights and on the lower part of the bumper look out of place as well. Rear end to me is fine, I don't mind the spoiler and the quad exhaust is nice. I am more interested in what interior changes they made, that plus additional performance could even out the front looks.

On a side note regarding anniversaries, 2018 is the 25th of the Mustang Cobra, which to me was when Ford really stepped into the modern age of performance again. I always hated that they dropped the Cobra name in favor of the Shelby. Really wish they would go back to the Cobra line at some point or atleast honor it in some fashion similar to the Mach 1, Bullit, Boss 302 etc.

Look at the side by side pics and notice the roof is smushed. This is the same body which makes me believe this is a fisheye lens shot and the front is made wider by the camera angle. Just my thoughts. I wait for the unveiling at naias. later

I tried to fix the facelift while maintaining the style Ford wanted to do:

That minor change alone to the brake vents is infinitely better than the real deal. Your change makes the lower fangs obvious as part of the lower bumper design.

Ford's executive-approved design, however, is shit.

This makes sense to me, given the significance of the anniversary dates.

Now that you brought this up, does that mean we are due for the second coming of the Mustang II in 2024? :frusty:

Assuming it's all legit, and we'll find out shortly, the new look will probably grow on me eventually. They always do.

However, I think it lost the "I must have" looks that basically stunned me when I first saw the S550 in the flesh at a 2014 auto show. That was complete love at first sight, something I can't say ever happened before with a new Mustang reveal in my lifetime (I'm 47).

Not much of a change. Not too different from the 15s and 16s. Just a minor re-fresh.

What about the 10spd auto, DI engine, magnetic shocks? Do we know if everything is present and accounted for?

waaaait for it waaaait for it, got to see it in person !

it's a change alright... and it's a de-fresh

The people that think this is fake are smoking crack, there's multiple pictures of the car in 3 different colors. Who would go through the effort to create a fake rolling video of a seemingly production quality car.. Accept it. The design will grow on us, and once we see the other upgrades we will probably all want one.. But it does make keeping your 15-17 easier

With the slight tweaks that Ace and others have made I could really like this redesign. Just needs a new bumper. And even just blacking out some elements and giving it the Bullitt treatment like TopNotch did helps too. Still think I like everything about my current car better though. Excited to see if this gets any better at 11am.

Seems like a lot of money to retool, 2 1/4 panels, hood, bumper and lord knows what else. and in 2 years redo the whole thing. It almost makes no sense to go through all that work unless the 2020 will look like this. And i think the video is very washed out, yellow might possibly be the worse color for that video. It's a very light/bright yellow, very bight lighting, washed out and you can't fully feel the lines. Lets see a blue/black/red where we can see all the lines. But something still doesn't feel right about that front end. and "rear spoiler delete" will be on all window stickers that sell, LOL

i hope the rear spoiler will fit the 15. thats all i like about it so far

Camaro sales are going increase dramatically in 2018 :lol:

It's fine. Ya'll are acting like scolded women, freaking out over nothing.:lol::lol:

I remember when the 2013 came out and I had my 2012. I thought the 2013-14 car was a travesty. Now I realize changes happen all the time, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If only the shape of headlights was better !! It doesn't look bad but it isn't great either. Still I feel it's a downgrade on the design :(
The headlights from the side angle remind me of the Dodge Charger. And the digital gauges look cool though !
