On the black car, yes:

There's really not THAT much going on here. You honestly don't like the wheel design? You don't like the color of the car itself? You don't like the CF skirts? You don't like the lowering? Lets face it, what most people don't like is simply the bright gold, and for some reason can't see past that. :headbonk:

Okay, here goes: Love the Ruby Red. Hate both the design and color of the wheels. Hate the carbon fiber trim in combination with all the gold (might be fine on its own). Hate the hue of the window tint. Need I go on?

Bottom line, the car is hideous to me for several reasons. And yes, the gold elements are a major factor. Don't know why you'd expect people to look past them.

Wow, you just criticized a whole bunch of people on this forum alone. :doh:

:doh: man

Yep.

Like Jeep owners that make em mall crawlers, Bikers afraid of bug guts on their rides, etc. These aren't Bentleys, go get one. They're mid 30k vehicles with a purpose in mind. Do I get a chuckle listening to guys here whining about brake dust on PP wheels, mpg with a GT, busting an OP's ass on another thread about automatic carwashes and swirls in aging paint, etc?

Yep.

I build up my own and use my stuff. Not talking about abusing the heck outta em, use em, but I sure don't coddle and baby em. Wrap em in plastic bubble wrap. Just because you own a car, doesn't make you a car guy in my group.

Use em or be poseur. Others can coddle em and spend your dough on bling over performance. I choose to build and use my vehicles and make no bones about it.

Otherwise get some "what for" by folks like this..... For the record this little lady is tops in my book....

Can YOU see past the gold and still have such a mad on for the car? The gold color is basically THE defining aspect of the car. Take that away and it's not the same car. That would be like asking me to look past the bacon in a BLT. I could, but lettuce and tomatoes make for a blah sandwich.

Hate the design of the wheels.

You have really bad taste in wheels lol

Ok so then the defining aspect of the PP mustang is the wheels. Wow, thank you for making me realize I hate the new mustang! GROSS!

I don't think you realize I am not expecting everyone to say or think it's the best yet, and love every single thing about it. My problem is people taking the negativity way too far simply because of one thing: the gold color. Like I indicated earlier, if the car had all these hideous aspects, huge spoiler, huge fender flares, scoops & stickers every where, Giant hood scoop, 5 sets of fog lights, 26" rims with spinners, slammed to the ground, and a striped pink and purple paint job, it would be different. There's a big difference between saying Not a fan of the gold, but nice car, and "gross" but whatever...beating a dead horse for some of you who just don't understand where I am coming from and want to try and convince me troll/hater comments are legit.

Just my 2 cents but you can't start a thread with a title "Best Looking S550 yet!" and not expect strong reactions/opinions. And crying troll or hater when someone disagrees with your opinion, even though you presented it as a fact with the thread title (whether you meant to or not), tends to cause negativity in these kinds of threads. Don't expect a strong opinion about something as unique as this car to not be met with the exact opposite opinion.

Having said that this car is not my cup of tea at all. And yes the gold with red combo is a huge factor in that but I can't see myself liking those rims in any kind of finish. Gold is one of those things people either like or have an aversion to. I am one of the latter, It just feels cheap and gaudy to me in a lot of products. On this car it is one of those things I just can't look past or unsee. I honestly feel the same way about the black PP wheels to a degree as well (i just don't care for them). That of course is my opinion and I don't think anyone who feels otherwise is wrong or cheap/gaudy. Beauty, eye of the beholder, etc.

One person's treasure is another person's trash.
All I can do is shake my head and hope the designer goes to work for Chrysler.

 

[Mikes5.0]

I like the car and wheels. Its a little to flashy but the wheels look similar to the bbs fi's that are only a dream due to price.

 

[Endokendal]

Anybody who like the gold wheels is insane and should seek professional mental help.



Lighten up dude!

 

[Alloye]

Fair enough. Guess I said the same thing to you above.

 

[Kbreese]

See that went personal. Poor form.

But seriously, how can you "Hate the design of these wheels" ??

OK, see I can dig those wheels. The gold just doesn't do them justice (see my previous comment) and ruins them for me.
