It's a pretty busy design…I feel like they have taken the clean, taunt, muscular look of a modern design and added too many retro elements(hood.scoop). The wheels are a nice design, and back looks good.

Literally all of it is terrible to me.

-front fascia looks chunky and aimless; completely clashes with rest of the S550
-fake side and hood scoops can stay in the '90s and '00s, thank you
-rear spoiler is really blocky and straight-cut, at odds with the rest of the car
-rear diffuser is okay if you like the trendy poser strakes that end at the bumper's opening, plus they added a pretty little body panel gap on the border which doesn't connect into the rear fenders cleanly like the stock premium's

The back 3/4 reminds be of a New Edge, which is a good thing. The front looks awful in the picture, but further judgement is reserved until i see one in person. Honestly I'd rather have a Saleen if I was going to drop $70k on a S550. But that's just me being biased.

What I like first, the hood vents and the spoiler. What is kind of moving in the right direction is making the front bumper look narrower but they goofed that up with the bump in the middle and the horrible grills. What I don't like is the hood scoop, the side fender scoops and both grills.

Perfection is achieved when there is nothing left to remove. Roush, Saleen, and everyone who wants to tack useless, crappy shit on these cars would be well advised to consider this truism. At least they didn't plaster godawful stripes all over it. The wheels, however, are nice.

The multi color stripes from roush have actually had a 92% satisfaction rating for their endless color combinations.

The fake hood and side scoops have to go. Not sure about the lower grill lights. They probably can go as well. I can't believe Jack likes creating extra drag. It really seems like less is more with the S550.

I would definitely say the side scoops don't belong. I know there was a lot of uncertainty about the car not having them when we got our first look, but now that I can see a car with them they just don't fit. Neither does hood scoop.

I wish they would have used a different color so we could see how this looked more clearly. I'm curious about the rear valence and the quad tip exhaust which I think looked better than the dual tips on the last gen car.

Overall way too much looking backward for cues and not enough evolving this new design, and that goes for Saleen as well.

I dig the hell out of it! Way better than what we've seen from Saleen (so far) IMHO. The hood scoop is very subtle, and not very noticeable from the side shot. The wing, exhaust and wheels I think are completely on point! The side scoops, meh I could go either way, but they almost look like they're pushed too far back, maybe closer to the door and a little smaller they'd look better!

Can't wait to see more pictures!

Sorry Mr Roush...not for me. Ford did an incredable job with the stock design. It is tastefully done. Your's is well..."Tacky" there is to much stuff tacked on just for the sake of add on's.

I believe that the lower front lights, the inoperable hood scoop as well as the rear fender scoops, just reduce the areo that Ford spent time and treasure on to optimise. I do realize that there is a market out there that loves that stuff and good luck with that.

I do however like the wheels.

Did anyone notice that it has slotted rotors? Now that and the wheels do interest me.

Can anyone zoom in and see the tire size?

The lower grille lights are just plain awful. a horrendous looking piece, extremely poor fabrication.
its needs to at least match the upper grille.

Uggg....can nobody show up with a decent looking grille? All of the black plastic I'm seeing, along with having part of it blocked off. Just somebody come out with one thats a nice 5 or 7 bar. Need somewhere to put the tribar pony on the front!
