I think the current Mustang is beautiful. First time in its existence that I've ever been attracted to one. The picures above are also sexy. Mustang is doing it right at present. If they make up the performance gap, they'll have one hell of a car and GM will be forced to sharpen their pencil on pricing. I'd still buy a Camaro personally but I truly do like the mustang a lot right now. GO AMERICA!!

Way to ruin the best looking part of the car, now it's ugly on both ends.

I think it's a step back as well, but I'll reserve final judgment until I see it in person.. Let's hope there are some engine upgrades.

Yeah I am not impressed.

It's also go a full digital gauge cluster, which is nice.

The official pictures look 100X better than the initial video that came out yesterday, but still not really impressed by it. I will need to see it in person I thought it would have been better. So far just meh

I think a lot of it for me, is the color used in the video

The official pics do look better - the video grabs were from unfortunate angles... What's really interesting is that it seems to have the lowered front end from the GT350. I could be wrong though. Hopefully it gets some drivetrain upgrades as well, competition is always good

That color and wheel combo would look very nice on a 2SS. In fact, Ford has good paint colors.

After further review, I'm not liking the 18 refresh. I'll wait till I see it in person but it's actually starting to really make me sick to my stomach, the more I look.

khell86 · 01-17-2017, 10:19 AM

It might have a nice power upgrade incoming. They're saying its more powerful and now rev's higher thanks to the new DI combo.

They had to upgrade the transmission to a twin-disc clutch and dual-mass flywheel. Also getting the 10 speed of course.

I just dont like the DLR/Fog lights or whatever those things are. Is the rear diffuser no longer painted? That was my favorite part of the mustang!

Diffuser is only body color on the base Mustangs. The premium package adds a nicer diffuser which has black accents. (at least that was the case when I got my '15).

It should definitely get a power/torque boost from the DI. My guess is it will go from 435/400 to 460/425. Which will bring it somewhat more in line with the Camaros 455/455.

The hood vents just don't go with the car very well from some of these pics here. I am still thinking this whole time its just a refresh not a redesign as few might think after a quick look. 2020 we will see a totally redesigned Mustang. They still have a few years to rethink their design over but definitely not the refresh for 18' the Mustang fans really wanted to see. From this side picture the Mustang looks cheaper and doesn't flow right with the lines of the car IMO. The back of the car with the new quad exhaust and funky wing kinda does look better then the previous year. Other then that i am not feeling the refresh as most of the Mustang fan boys on their forums...

SS2017 · 01-17-2017, 10:32 AM

Holy, they are going crazy on M6G...lol.

Seems like 90% of them hate the refresh.
