Do you like the 2018 Design

[matteos]

It's starting to grow on me the more I look at it, I didn't like it at all at first.

I think the hood vents look crap and it would look better without them and they should have kept the ridges in the hood in the same spot... Really, it needs a different hood and it would look a lot better.

The front end kills it for me... glad i didnt plan on getting rid of my 15' for this mess... hopefully ford gets their act together in 2019

I absolutely love what they did to the rear of the car (minus that spoiler)!

The front, on the other hand, is another deal altogether. I still do not like the height and shape of the front of the current S550 so I like that they chose to lower it. But they should've given it the GT350 treatment to the whole front end. Instead they made it look sort of bland and dopey from the front view.

That flat hood looks boring from the front and makes the car look like it put on a few pounds. The chin spoiler and bottom of the front fascia is too horizontal and needs to have a bit more shape to it like the GT350's.

The side view of the whole car in this pic looks awesome though with that lower leading edge. Too bad it doesn't transfer over to the front view.

I was considering a trade in until this reveal. The engine upgrades sound good, but I do not like the changes to the front at all. It looks less aggressive, and something about it is off. Maybe it will look better in person.

I also will not upgrade until there is another DIB option (don't like Kona as much in person) so thats a nail as well.

:cheers: I nearly creamed myself the first time I saw DIB in person! They need to bring it back.

It's already growing on me, and I am sure it looks better in person. I didn't like the '15 when they first came out, but now i own a '17 and love it. Funny how that works.

I want to see it in Black in person.

I kinda like it with a slightly smaller upper grill and slightly larger lower grill. For me, that slight tweak makes a big difference.

I need to see this car in ligthing blue!

I can't get past those droopy eyes. Do like the 10 speed auto.

Now I do!

I didn't like it at first. It has grown on me. It looks great from the front quarter.

Based on the 3 awful quality and ugly yellow pics of this thread, no. Based off the high quality pics in better colors in the reveal thread, Yes.

2018 front end looks bland

I'm glad Ford Performance decided not to change the GT350 with the facelifted design for 2018. Hopefully they stop GT350 production before it lives to get the facelift :barf:

Also, it looks like the new Shelby to be revealed tomorrow is still based on the 2015-2017 MY S550.

Although I like the new 2018 rear, indifferent to the new hood, can live with the lower grill and bumper changes, I just can't get past those ugly looking (to me) new headlights.

Might as well lock the thread, these poll #s are based on the absolutely awful leaked pics with the euro lights with most of the voting/posting happening before the Ford official pics came.
