It's the hood that's killing the front end of the new one for me. Yours looks so much better
different colors and angles the front isnt so bad but I agree about the hood, from what Ive seen it just looks off. I like what they did to the rear
Yesterday after seeing the leaked video I hated the front end. The new official pictures and additional videos today have me liking the design more but I definitely don't love it.
Love the Mag ride, dual mode exhaust/quad tips, twin disc clutch, revised suspension, LED lighting, and new 4S tires. Definitely good updates there.
Interior is interested. I was very surprised by the all digital cluster. I think thats a great addition and so many customizable options should be cool. Worried to see how much all these extra options will cost however.
Overall I think the update is great and more than I expected but still not in love with the front end. I think it will grow on me as it already has in 24 hours.

I see they let a camaro guy design the spoiler.
i think you might be on to something the milage is 1964.5 certainly a meaningful date in mustang history.So a few "easter eggs" I'm betting on for the next GT500 (not sure if this has been posted anywhere else):
7th gear at 55mph = 755hp
289 miles = 4.8 V8
11:17:11 = 11/11/17 is when we'll know more about it
And for fun, I like the mileage
Welcome to the $60k Mustang GT lol
Nah, this spoiler is better than the spoiler on the 6th gen SS.
Time for some more pics:
Overall, I like it. Improved interior. Subtle exterior changes. I like the Orange Fury paint, too. The new 12" screen is a hit. Ford is evolving the Mustang platform positively IMO. Not all that surprising that Ford is yanking the 3.7 V6, since they're pushing their EcoBoost engines. A 310hp/320tq 2.3 EcoBoost isn't shabby at all. The 10-speed auto is going to be a big hit IMO.
Exactly 10 years ago, those were V8 Mustang GT numbers. Cutting the engine size, literally in half, while making the same hp and more tq is pretty darn impressive.
I'm waiting for the day that somebody produces a better looking car than the 2013 GT500 and GT. The Roush body bits make the s550 look close to as good, but not quite. The 2018 looks like a step in the wrong direction, but I'll wait until I see it in person and see what the aftermarket can do with it.
I think the way Ford is evolving the Mustang is so that it looks appropriately soft and "sleek" when it gets it's hybrid options in 2020.

Looks like a nice improvement, Mustangs get better every year. Every time a new model comes out some like it, others don't, I remember when the new edge Mustangs came out in 99, people said they hated it and look what happened.
The only problem with all the technology the price goes up, now Mustangs are not cheap cars anymore. I do believe they are still a good value for the performance they deliver. Good job Ford!

289 is just as easily a throwback to the old mustang v8.So a few "easter eggs" I'm betting on for the next GT500 (not sure if this has been posted anywhere else):

289 miles = 4.8 V8

Edit: I see HISSMAN said pretty much the same thing.
The front-side shots of the bumper makes it look like it has chin fat (yes, weird analogy). I really had planned to pick up a 2018, but I will definitely see if I can find a good deal on a 2017 in grabber blue. I foresee the new orange color selling well.
Spec-wise, the Mustang keeps getting better and better. Certainly even more refined. Moving further from the American muscle-car look. Maybe too much. The front fascia looks crisper, but more complicated...like they were trying too hard. Too much going on. Will have to see it in person. I find digital speedos and tacs really distracting. Give me gauges and knobs.

That design in the middle of the spoiler kills it for me. If it didn't have that I think it would be awesome. Maybe it has a functional purpose but IMO it doesn't look good.
I wonder is the gauge cluster is swappable with some work. 10 spd auto would be a nice upgrade if it is an easy swap. Can't wait for some wrecked cars hahaha.
Now what changes for the 2020 Mustang, new body again? Might carry over the same upgraded 5.0. I have a feeling the electric/hybrid Mustang will replace hole the V6 "left" and fit into the slot between the eco and 5.0.
I also have a feeling this 10 spd auto will also be in the GT500 as well which seems likely for the 2018 and 2019 model years. On other hand what happens to the GT350 for 2018 upgrade/facelift wise.

Yeah it is hard to tell the PP 10 spd car should run toe to toe with the Scat pack and SS now though. I wonder how much of a difference there is between the 8 spd and 10 spd transmissions. They will be faster in a straight line than a GT350 though or pretty close.
I am going to guess 460/420.
I can tell you now that trying to swap electronic parts on new cars is going to be a nightmare if not impossible. Just trying to add HID lamps from a car that offers them in a higher trim model in newer cars usually requires the entire engine harness. When you start messing with stuff behind the dash you are looking at harnesses that cost upwards of a grand and which probably wont even work with the ECU since settings in the cluster will adjust the magnetic dambers which will be controlled by the ECU. In short, it's not going to happen.
