is it just me or the angle but either the guy looks like he is 9 feet tall or the car is 1/5 scale...something just looks funny...

Since Asians are pretty small, the car is 30% smaller in China...

Is that Kona or lightning blue? I can't tell.

I'd say Lightning

Seems Justin isn't totally won over by the front end................yet ;)

Some great footage here though

Thanks for the video......hard to tell, but I reckon they're still clear (as they look pink when lit) :(

Don't tail lights and brake lights have to illuminate 'red'? Somehow I don't see 'pink' cutting it.

They're certainly on the pink side of red, to my eyes at least :(

He pretty much nailed it. Front is a take it or leave it piece. Tires are a big upgrade. Rear looks amazing. But to be fair the rear of the 15-17 is one of the best on the planet already.

That spoiler needs to go. I don't know what they were thinking with that.

This probably has a lot to do with growing up in the 70s. But I wish they'd offer a decent duckbill spoiler stock. That was one of the first visual mods I did.

I think it might look better painted black.

They are not doing themselves favors by putting that orange front and center everywhere. I get that some people may like it, but it's a polarizing color, a lot of people will hate it. I liked the color matched rear diffuser better than the black plastic. I've come to hate all exterior black plastic. Virtually impossible to keep looking good in the long run.

I was at the New York show yesterday. I can say that I finally like the front bumper, especially in person. I still think the the hood vents are a train wreck. I kept comparing them to other manufacturers vehicles on display (and to the GT350) and I just don't understand how they came up with the tacked-on piece as being a relevant design. I still like the body color insert on the rear bumper of the 15-17 better. Change for the sake of change? That big old Challenger always did have a street presence that I just can't shake, unless they do a Mach1. But I fear the Mach1 would be a 50K car. Don't make me go to the dark side for the first time ever.

Don't go to the dark side! Challenger certainly looks tough and has some great performance when you choose the 6.4L or 6.2L Hemi's, but at the end of the day still has some quality quirks. I own a '14 Mustang GT and a '16 Challenger Scat Pack (6.4L Hemi). Both are great performers and I like them each for slightly different reasons, but the Dodge isn't quite the quality of the Ford.

More like the red side of pink if you ask me. These were mine before I dumped them for a proper set of US tails. They are absolutely horrible and disgrace every single export spec car.

I went to the NYC auto show today specifically to see the 18 and this color. In some photos orange fury looks dark and others light. Either way it's like a metallic school bus yellow and I absolutely don't like it at all but my 23 year old son and his same aged friend both liked it, a lot. I guess I am just too old but also understand I really liked comp orange. This is nothing like comp orange. Overall the 18 update is fine with me. The front looks more contemporary but I think it would have looked better if they just kept the 17 design with the lowered hood. Ford reps think hp will be at least 465.
