I m starting to think that this might really be it, this is like the 3rd leak I ve seen and all the same one. If it is true then Im indifferent, there are angles that make it look very appealing, but when I see the front i m like so so; and the back is pretty horrid. Its almost as if they just got to the rear and said F it.
I'm conflicted, this is definitely the car but for the first time in my lifetime i don't like the look of the new Mustang over the previous one. I grew up during the foxbody years and my favorite was the last gen 1987-93 style. This continued with the reveal of the 1994, 1999, 2005, 2010... this time I have to say this is not as good looking as the current car. My biggest problem is the front end has not grown on me. I felt this way since the 2013 refresh I wish it had the look of the 2010-12 car. The profile is fine and even the back is ok but my favorite part of the S197 was the front end and they completely changed it.
This car looks like a mix of the 2014 Mustang, Mazda6 and Accord Coupe in my estimation...

I personally was holding out to see what it looked like but I think I'm going to buy a 2007-09 GT500 for my next Mustang. It may not be the best but to me it sure does look the best.
I wonder why they got rid of the blind spot mirrors?
Looks good not great. Was really hoping for a bigger jump. 04-05ish.
I think car and drivers baby Aston rear looks better.
Ford just mixed '12 SMS with a little 05 and called it a day. Oh well.

To be fair, Ford is damned if they do, damned if they don't. They could make a car that essentially looks like a refreshed S197 and people will say it doesn't look different enough and they could make a car that looks totally new and people will say it doesn't look like a "Mustang".
That said, I feel like, aesthetically, this S550 is more of a lateral move from the S197. While it looks better in some ways and worse in others, overall I feel it looks neither better or worse as a whole. I will say that the more I look at it, the more I feel the rear just looks odd. I don't get why this seems to be such a recurring issue for the Mustang for the past 10 years.

Yeah, sad but true. I don't like the slant of the tail, or the tail lights. The rest of the car doesn't look bad, but the tail looks unfinished, or like a 3 different designs blended into 1.
