If a Mustang could look high... This one does. The headlights lost the aggressive look and the grille just looks too big now in relation to the rest of the front.

I would have liked to see a few things change:

-Round fog lights back to the grille
-Side scoops
-More aggressive look

I'm kind of disappointed like I was when we went from the 93 to 94. Even though this wasn't a completely new body style, it looks softer now.

Maybe it gets better in other colors.

All they had to do was take some cues from the gt350 and tone it down a little. Not feeling the headlight shape at all. I just don't see what the motivation was to change it like that.

Also, not sure what's going on with the fog light area, just looks weird.

It kinda sorta looks like the bumper that carbon dynamics is making

I strongly disliked it at first, but I've been looking at it a lot and now I'm just indifferent. There are certain details I like (headlight detail, lower front bumper) and ones that I don't (the grille is cartoonishly wide, droopy headlight shape). I think I just expected more.

I think the fog light areas look better; for some reason that area was the only thing I didn't think looked well before this refresh.

I think the wider upper grille does reduce the bulky look from before. That lower grille area just interrupts the flow though.
And are there any interior changes?

For we in the UK the '15 was the first ever Mustang for us. The s550 mk1 will be our classic Mustang. The s550 mk2 is not quite so desirable - because of that wing.
yeah, that gtr ripoff spoiler is brutal. i was so distracted by the front of the car i nearly missed it

At first I really hated it. Now I really hate it. Oh well. It's just not growing on me at all. I think camaro sales will go way up, as I honestly think it now looks better than the 2018 mustang.

Did Ford do any focus groups on this refresh... seriously doubt it. I know they did when they were designing the S550.

16 out of 182 voted that the like this refresh. Just barely 9%.

Ford are you listening?

Its a bonafied Mustang II , or , Ford could turn this into a badass 350/500/Mach1 with a different bumper. This car looks too at peace but aftermarket could fix it with some plastic. Headlights are fine. I'd be jamming some John Denver and Grateful Dead rolling in this one as it sits.

I like it. I was hoping for a different wheel and tire package, but it may be coming. I'll have to wait and see if there are different models coming.

Where are the fog lamps? Gone?

They should have put them in the grill.

I voted "other" because I like the rear and just cant get a good feel for the front. Don't like the headlights or the signals/fogs.

But as most, I will get used to it....:)

The spoiler is optional -- you can delete it.
