2018 Mustang Refresh (Prototype) First Look!

[MadCow]

You don't realize how big the Mustang is until you see it nose to nose with other cars. I am considering a 428i and just happened to pull up at the gym and see one parked out where I usually park. So I pulled in where I could get a couple photos. The Mustang is a really big car. It dwarfs my friends C class Mercedes and as you can see, the hood height is much higher than the BMW, Mercedes, or even the Camaro that was parked next to me tonight. Styling-wise, it's unusual for a car this big to still look low and sleek. Aston does it with the DB9 but even that car has a lower hood and grill.

The Mustang is definitely a big car. But that pic seems to stretch the @$$ end off the Mustang quite a bit to me. Maybe its the angle.

for me looks like more to halo lights on the mustang opcorn:

Maybe its the angle, or maybe its just a hope, but that roof from the angle looks like its a smoked glasstop. That personally would be awesome. And the tri-bar leds almost look like this <<<

Two new LED reverse lights? Or maybe just a prototype thing?

Looks more like parking sensor "buttons" to me.

I'm so excited, just a matter of time to see it unveiled. Hoping it will be in November.

Is it me or does the reverse light under the License Plate look like a ball sack?

Nice!! Can't wait!! My take is that it will be revealed in LA just like the 2010 (2008 auto show) and the 2013 (2011 auto show) and perhaps a Mach 1 or GT500 at the Detroit auto show.:ford:

If you compare a side profile from the current model to the spy shots, it looks like the long flat hood is gone and is replaced by a more gradual sloping hood. So it's going to do two things...definitely give the car a more modern sleek hood/look from the profile & 3/4 view and also not feel like you are looking 'up-slope' from the interior.

Geez that picture really makes the front end's ride-height look towering.

No fender treatments, no quad exhaust pipes,

As far as external changes looks like a simple new fascia

Looks like the trunk and back end shorter

Where is chazcron when you need him? Besides that this Thing is looking pretty badass for what I can see but as many people have said the front end is too high. But as always aftermarket will fix that.
