LOL... excellent taste, sir.
FINALLY, I have to report that the S550 is really starting to look good to me. So far, I can't afford a GT350 and my 2011 GT isn't that far behind in performance t a 15+ GT....so I sit and wait for the Mach1.

We don't take too kindly S550's 'round these parts. I reckon you take your "new edge" love elsewhere!

I've had a change of heart about the new style. It took a while but I could see me getting one at some point. For me, they seem to look better in person.

If the Shelby gets the new 10 spd auto, I might have to have it.

Same here, especially lately. I'm not in the market just yet, but I can envision crunching numbers in the future. I've considering somewhat replacing mine with a previously loved GT500, but there are equal advantages to a new S550 as well. I'm curious about how Lightning Blue looks on a 2017 'vert....also impressed with RR Metallic and Ingot Silver.

They look OK, but maybe if Ford did something to the powertrain other than carry over the same crap from the S197. We all know the MT82 is the worst thing about these cars and the Coyote makes decent power stock, but has a low ceiling unless you want to go all new internals.

Never was much of a Mustang person until the S550 arrived with its drop dead gorgeous looks and I had to have one. Get some guff from my Mopar buddies but I can live with that.

I think you feel the same way, but I think the S550s look even better in a ragtop. I think that of most cars though.

The one thing that I still need to fall in love with is the squinty rap around headlights. They still bother me. I'm sure a brand new one with my name on it would make them perfect.

Interestingly I think an S197 looks better with the top up than the S550. But as far as I'm concerned, a top-up 'vert is only a temporary condition.

And I agree...the S550's down-top styling really flows.

I have gathered that that's what most people think of the S550's in general. I am guilty of being one who disliked them at first. But then I saw one in person and was like eh... not bad. Then I pulled the trigger and decided to get one and I honestly get more looks and compliments than I ever did on my S197 (which both equally just about had the same mods). I def do not regret buying one that's for sure.

I hate the Fusion front end, and the rear end makes me gag. No way I'd trade for a S550. Ugh!

I really hope Ford changes the look before MY19.
