It's grown on me the past couple of days. I like it more now. I think the change was just subtle enough that it caught us off balance. We've been looking at the same familiar face for 3 years, and then all of a sudden, it got a nose job and a hair cut.

I don't see a difference between the 2015 and the 2018, sorry. I guess I'll just have to use up my 2013 and see what's available then. 56K miles as of today.

I agree Junkman, our '13 is the wife's. I offered her a new '17, and she turned it down. She's very happy with it, and I expect her to wear it completely out before she even thinks of getting another. Her's is only at 30K miles right now.

The headlamp cluster looks more aggressive to me. I think I prefer the new hood to the 15-17. Some of the new wheels look very nice. All of the technological enhancements sound great, I just hope they don't drive the cost up too much. It's kind of a good thing (for me) that they aren't offering it with a glass roof or glass T-tops, because I would really, really want one and I'm in no financial position to replace my 2011, and won't be for years to come.

I like it, but I don't love it. The rear end looks better than the front. I like all of the upgrades, except for the front end. Not sure how I feel about the digital instrument panel either. Would take some getting used to.
But,.........if you put a '17 GT right next to a '18 GT, I'll take the '17 GT ALL DAY LONG. Looks way more aggressive.

I can't wait for the ordering to open up on the 2018. Gonna have to go with the paddle shift 10 speed slush box. No way I can row a 6 speed faster or pick gears better than new auto trans of today. Plus now I'll be blessed to put 32oz drinks in my cup holder and they won't be in the way of shifting my 6 speed. That plus about a million improvements in safety, tech and power makes the '18 a no brainer for me!

I highly doubt we'll see a BOSS this refresh.... unfortunately.
I was set on a Kona or Lightning GT...but now....hrm....

Yeah hard to tell what are the easter eggs and the red hearings.
A BOSS would be fantastic, but even the GT with magnaride is gonna be awesome.

Ain't that the thruth
As for the Boss.....nah, not going to happen. Definitely not going to happen when there's still a GT350 (and the GT350 has been confirmed for at least the '18MY). The GT350 effectively is the new Boss.
If GT350 goes for the '19MY, I can see room for a "GT500" supercharged halo car and, perhaps, a normally aspirated Mach 1 that's long been rumoured.

I don't see the point of a Mach 1 and a GT500 in the same lineup. Unless they pattern the Mach 1 as more of a Performance Package 3 level and the GT500 just goes ***** out. That would leave a hole in the lineup for the road course model. Then again, Ford doesn't necessarily always have to have a Mustang model for every enthusiast, every generation...

Assuming the GT350 dies for '19MY.....
I agree.
My ideal:
Mach 1 = normally aspirated 5.2 cross plane crank V8, 485hp / 440lb/ft
GT500/Halo Stang = FI 5.2 cross plane crank V8, 755hp / 650lb/ft
Both would come with 6-speed manual or 10-speed auto.....MagneRide as standard.

And call the halo car the Cobra. With the return of the Bullitt and Mach 1, clearly there needs to be a "Cobra" at the top of the food chain!!

Yeah a new Mach 1 should be over 500 HP.
With the '18 GT getting a power bump possibly to around 450hp, the Mach only being 50 HP more from a bigger engine would be a disappointment.
I'd go as far as saying that 550+ would be the number it should have, with a very close torque number.
