Amen and +1 from me.

 

-1 from me.

 

:-) ;-)

 

Still waiting to see it in person. But.... I think it's lost Mustang Identity. It looks like a morph of so many other cars today, combined with some Mustang. That's too bad.


I'm still not a fan of the exterior.

 

saw the 2015 mustang at the ny auto show. I was not to thrilled about the rear of the car. too bland. you will get a chrome pony on the front and rear on the v6 model and a gt on the rear for the gt model. the the 50th anneversary edition not worth waiting for. the 2 gt models on the floor were locked so you could not sit in them. people seemed more interested in the 2014 models on display then the 2015 models. I am glad that I bought a 2014 model that I ordered to my specifications.

 

So does anyone here watch The Blacklist? Last night they showed a commercial for the 2015 with one of the stars and I can't find it online anywhere today, car looks even better in motion.

 

Saw it! Loved it! One of my favorite shows with what will likely be one of my favorite cars.

 

I saw it at Charlotte and love it. Everything looks better in person. It's a beautiful car. Well done team Mustang. And the 50th anniversary model is just gorgeous.

 

Ba ha ha ha ha ha! Not everything looks better in person. I too saw the 2015 mustang in person and up close.

 

 

I just saw it today at the NY auto show. It is definitely a good looking car and the interior looks to be a big improvement over the S197.

 

Tampa Bear 67

Ha ha ha. That's awesome bro. Love it

 

Nice

Haters gonna hate

I take you as a person that would never admit he was wrong anyway

 

Heck , I always tell my wife I'm wrong. Besides, who is hating? Not me. Funny how because someone doesn't think the 2015 mustang design is the ultimate or end all be all, automatically someone is a hater.

 

I was initially wary of the 2015's front end, but after getting to check one out in person, I was sold. Ford did an excellent job, in my opinion, and S197 truly looks like the antiquity it really is when compared to S550. The new car features a sleek aggressiveness in its aesthetic that S197 just can't emulate.

 

Saw it at the NY Auto Show this weekend and "meh." It's really frustrating me because I really wanted to love it. Not crazy about the wrap around headlights and rounded corners or the "pool" in the trunk lid. The built in duck tail doesn't seem like it leaves much room for a spoiler(2005 size) or different duck tail configurations. The factory spoilers I've seen for the 2015 don't look good to me. Hopefully the aftermarket will come out with something better.

Overall, not bad. Just wish it gave me that need-to-get-it feeling. Maybe that will change when I start seeing them on the street.

 

Give it 5 years or so for the body style revisions - it'll probably look a lot better. Right now it just doesn't flow properly from front to back.

 

I suspect the inevitable refresh will occur sooner, probably 2018MY. While the 2005 style soldiered on for 5 years, it didn't have any significant direct competition to contend with (apologies to GTO lovers) and that was more back in Ford's "good enough" era. Then the 2010 refresh got refreshed again in 2013, so Ford seems to have a bit more fire in its belly lately.

Also, now, Ford's got the Camaro and Challenger breathing down its neck, both of which are soon do for complete overhauls in the next year or two, so Ford can't afford to be nearly so lackadaisical as it once was, even with the complete 2015 redo.

I would expect the 2018 to move even further forwards, stylistically, which will likely disappoint those who saw the 2015's move into the modern design/engineering era an abomination and apostasy. In the meantime, to keep the brand fresh, I'd expect the GT350 for the 2016MY while 2017 will probably have the usual stripe and spoiler SE models.

 

I guess I shouldn't really post in this thread as I've never been on the fence. I've always liked what I've seen in photos but, in person, it really does look so much better to me. As you say, it's a beautiful car, but also with a hint of aggression.

Seeing it in Vegas, for me, it made the 2014s around it look clumsy and awkward......the '15 has a sophistication the S197 can only dream of. Don't get me wrong, in isolation the S197 is still a great looking car, it's just that S550 is a superb looking car.

I can't wait to see what the aftermarket does with S550......remember, we've got a blank canvas here and a stock Mustang has never really appealed to me. I honestly believe S550 will lend itself beautifully to a subtle widebody kit.....it almost appears to have one as standard.

Truly gorgeous

 

Liked it at first and like it more now.
