The only thing I don't really like is the blade spoiler.

Those are terribly set up studio shots, but I like what they've done. Not sure on their front fascia, but everything else looks nice. The wheels are beautiful! It's very toned down for Roush, which is a good thing. I like the quad tip exhaust too, but I might be biased

I dig it except for the hood and side scoops. I hope those dimples for the plate in front aren't as noticeable as they appear in these photos. So far this is my favorite look for the S550.

I hope when it's time to trade the 14 in I can afford one of these in stage 3 with scoop delete or a GT350.

Edit: I really dig the hood vents too!

Agree on the license plate pilot holes. That was the first thing I noticed. It looks like the front fascia was backed into by a bro-truck with tubular bumpers

first thing I noticed were all of the water pools underneath the car, doesn't make for a nice and clean canvas to show off this car.

These photos were taken by Automobile Magazine's photographer....I would agree they a little disappointing. Not sure why he/she couldn't have seen the weird reflections going on with the front facia.

Roush Performance will be releasing their own photos on Monday I believe.

ha-ha, look at the last photo showing off the back end of the ride, while his FOOT is in the shot, these are clearly not professional photographs. it does show off the car though and I do like the Roush.

Right? It's like these were taken as they were setting up the real shots. They just happened to be taken with a nice camera. The shots themselves, are terrible. I'm not even sure if like the front fascia or not because I can't really see it! Roush should have used a lighter color to unveil the new model. Maybe silver, or Ruby Red, or even Competition Orange.

I like the hood and side scoops. Overall it's a hot looking Mustang.
I agree with Patrick about the color. The grille doesn't stand out as too F-like but that's because it's black. I'm sure Guard and Magnetic will have a similar camo effect on the grille design. For those who like the car but are having anxiety attacks over the nose, dark looks like the way to go.

The stance is perfect, the wheels are gorgeous.

I just noticed how the head light gills mimic the hood vents. Nice.

HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I will say I hate the 2015 Mustang, but the 2015 Roush is "okay". Not really feeling the front end of this car, even on the Roush. The rear looks 100% better now that it is has the high rear spoiler though.
I do like the wheels.
