I was actually looking forward to the refresh. Then I saw it. The SS front end makes no sense at all! They have design elements going every which way. Nothing ties together. They pay people to come up with this? It looks like a kid did this while not paying attention in class.
How could management approve this mishmash? They need a new head of styling. I hope they don't botch the C8 Corvette. |

Wow the SS looks horrible. Predator mixed with a Charger. It evokes laughter. The RS is much better.

Is it just me or do the new LED's around the lights look like sauce pans?

Makes sense now why they didn't unveil it at the New York Auto Show and went with a small spot on a CBS broadcast. They had to know it was a turd but way too far along to make fixes. Gauging by the overall negative feedback not only from diehard fans but a lot of the media this would have been a huge black eye had it been given a major event.

After 51 pages of "the sky is falling" I've stepped back again and tried to look at this objectively and bit-by-bit. To cut to the chase, I think there are only three real issues with this MCE.
Now, the interesting thing is, all three of those elements are ONLY PRESENT ON THE SS. The taillights appear to be a love / hate thing. Not as universally panned as the three SS specific elements of the refresh. So, stepping back and looking at the LT and RS models alone, this is probably a pretty good upgrade. The front end is a bit more rounded and clean. The rear pays homage to the 2010 - 13, but much more "modern". So, similar to the '14 MCE, some people hate the taillights, others like them, many are "meh". My vote is meh. Those changes are very evolutionary and, at least in my opinion, improvements or at least "flip a coin" from an appearance pov. When you factor in the new tech (assuming the mirror is a free flow option) and the addition of a 2.0T 1LE, I'd say the MCE is a win. There will be more cars sold in base / mid-level trim than there were for Gen6 1st edition. So probably a net plus in sales, all else equal. Especially considering the price bump that Mustang received with its upgrade. Now I'm thinking the sky really isn't falling. |

The incoherence of the surfacing is inexcusable. This is almost as horrendous as when the F56 MINI was unvealed. They took an iconic design and absolutely crapped all over it. Now go look at the just-unveiled 2019 Focus. That is a clean new-gen design, despite the big maw it's distinctive yet unoffensive, easily proving that a new-gen doesn't have to be ugly. If John Mack's goal is to give up and just put Michael Bay in charge, then he can have it, and own the consequences. |
Saw a pair of them in the wild today!!!!! Looked much better in person!!!
