So about 2 years ago the s550 stepped out into the light. Many shouted, "Too Euro, Feminine, Fusion-like, not a true mustang, looks like an Aston Martin (How is that bad?)...

I gotta say, I liked it from the start. Are there any of you today who think the current generation isn't one of the best looking mustangs of all time. I rate it #1 replacing the 69/70 Mach1/Sports Roof in my book. Below is Lucy my red beast. Doesn't look particularly feminine to me. Heck, I see 4 & 6 bangers everyday and am taken by how handsome they are.

So anyone still convinced it's not mustang, masculine, muscular enough???

I'd argue that the 67/68 or 69/70 Fastbacks might just pip the S550 in the looks department, but it's certainly the best driver's car, without a doubt and it's certainly one of the best looking new cars at any price.

Whilst in Vegas last month, I photographed this one. Looks like it was in your spot for the day ;)

(oh, and I edited your thread title :) )

LOL
I admit, I eat crow. I hated the new design of the Coyote when they were first intorduced. I currently own a gorgeous '13 GHIG Roush Stage 3 and it's for sale. Nothing wrong with it at all and I don't need to sell. I kind of want a S550. So if it sells, it sells. If not, I may build the heck out of it.
But yes, I am digging the S550. :thumbsup:
(Gorgeous car you have OP.)

I care about infotainment
Still think the '69 Boss '9 and '69 Boss 302 are the best looking Mustang, nay, best looking cars of all time.

And a clean looking '05-'09 GT S197 still makes me turn my head, but S550 now beats those out in terms of looks.

67/68 is the best looking mustang from the back, 2015+ is best from the front.... That's why i have one of each in my garage!

Hell no. I was saving cash for the 370 Nismo. Then I laid eyes on the S550.

I've drivin well over 100 different mustangs over the years, and the 2015 mustang is the first mustang that doesn't feel like a mustang.... which is one of the many reasons I love this car so much and would put it at the top of my list as best mustang ever..

No way does it look bad. In fact Eric, your red GT350 with the black stripes is perhaps one of the best looking cars ever made IMO. Thinking about doing a black stripe on my OW GT.

You took some of the words and thoughts that I have ( The 2015 Mustang is the FIRST Mustang that doesn't feel like a Mustang ) I couldn't agree with you more,the Mustang used to be an American icon, a true pony muscle car,that was before 2015 when they made it into a Euro box with IRS and a 4 Banger,I am still NOT a fan, but some of the 2015+ colors are nice.

Thanks for the edit. I've never owned a 67/68 but would love to one day add a fastback to the list of mustangs I've owned. Can we all say bullitt? I'm glad that pretty much everyone has come around and has a positive view of the 2015+ aesthetics. I feel like a lucky SOB driving it everyday and don't get me started about the feeling of 8250 rpms better than viagra, well that's what I heard from a guy, not me, another guy!

S550 is special. It won over a new audience, like myself. First ford and muscle car.

The S550 is the first Mustang I was interested in and bought since my wife bought a new 1973 Mustang Grande. I did test drive a new 1968 GT but wanted a larger vehicle and settle on a 69 Torino fastback. To me, the S550 is the best looking Mustang in 50 yrs.

The s550s IMHO are the best looking mustangs ever. I honestly didn't care for it too much in the beginning, but it definitely grew on me and I'm glad I finally own one.
