Maybe it's just the angle, but the front end seems droopy.

I really want to see the hood better.

I will reserve judgement until I see it in person.

Well if I got my design improvement it would have fogs in the top grill & tire packages with 10" wide 18's & 19's would weigh 24 lbs max. Better shocks & struts w/camber plates.

I don't dislike the DESIGN it's self. I mean it's really not THAT much different than the current 15-17's. However the parts of it that I don't like are:

  • Headlights - They completely throw the front end off. They do not flow with the body lines like the current S550. The way they just cut off into the fender with weird angles make it look bizzare. Plus the large side marker area... eh no. I do like the 3 bars and what appears to be a halo around the projectors.
  • Underbite - The front of the car looks like it's being pulled up. I've notice a lot of new cars doing this. Once lower perhaps it would look better.
  • Fog removal - JDM/Euro looking airvent. It truly looks like something off of a Toyota design.

The car looks less aggressive than it did. I was expecting the refresh to be the opposite and kind of go the route of the GT350. This car honestly looks like someone slapped an aftermarket kit on it it.

The hood looks good and it appears they went to horizontal extractors like the 03/04 Cobra which is kind of cool. I guess what would be more interesting to know is if it helps with removing warm air anymore than the current hood.

The rear of the car is good. The new diffuser is hopefully a bolt on option for 15-17 owners. The tribars are a little too soft looking for my taste and I don't really care for the spoiler.

Can't completely write it off. We still don't have power figures and we haven't seen what changes were made on the inside. Regardless, I now know I will have no desire to trade up which is a good thing.

Waiting to see more of it. I'll be in the market for a GT Premium soon so I'll wait to see more or in person.

Appears to be a swing and a miss Ford. Better luck next time.

2018 Probe

Call it the New 2018 Ford Probe.

Ford needs to keep the 2017 S550 design and then add all the power and interior upgrades. Continue with what is aggressive Don't emasculate the Mustang!

It's not a Saturn, or Jaguar, IT'S MUSTANG!!!!!!

It's just a minor re-fresh, not that much of a change. Looks fine.

I'm trying to wrap my head around this POS and I can't because all I keep thinking is mods to fix it and that should not be the case.

Did I mention I can't stand it?

I have been waiting years for the 2018 refresh and here we are. I'm going to continue driving my family SUV. I got to tell you this was a shot in the gut, it was like a cowboys fan watching the packers beat them with seconds on he clock.

This is crap, not what I have been waiting for, I don't want that in my driveway, don't want to walk out to it everyday and think to myself that I have a sanded down 2017.

Ford messed up, plain and simple, the threads and polls prove it.

Voted yes. Not that big of a change for me to dislike it, but I do prefer mine.

Waiting for all the "No's" to change their vote after seeing more pictures. I don't think it's quite as bad as the leaked video one.

Don't like it at all. The front reminds me of a Miata or the Z4.
