The new dashboard is a big mistake IMO

[Cobra Jet]

I think I found where the Ford designers copied a previous dashboard design for the S650…. Looks pretty damn close…. LOL.

Pouting is what caused Ford to finally drop the Mustang II in favor of a new design.

No.

I have ZERO issues with digital dash and displays. I think they are generally better and more functional and customizable than analog gauges.

HOWEVER............ The fad of tacking a tablet onto a dash and calling it a day is FUBAR.... I refuse to buy a car with one of those, and have scratched several off my and the wifes list. She'd be in a Model Y and I'd be in a Model 3 if Tesla had a traditional dash. Would still have the Mustang and my Truck, but the EV would be our daily.

But back to dash's, how PATHETIC that Ford dumped their ICONIC twin hooded dash for fablets tacked on over vents that look like they came from a Corolla.

If a manufacturer cant take the time to integrate a digital dash, they've lost my business....... Penny Pinchers rule, and this approach probably takes seconds to assemble, where integrated units could take hours depending on how they are buried. IMO, Porsche has one of the best Dash layouts these days and is all digital. This is from the Panamera. Yeah yeah, it's a Porsche, but pic is for presentation and layout, not quality and content.

I think it looks cool but they will fix it in the refresh to get more sales.

Thank you, I completely agree.

Again, I completely agree. Porsche designers are meticulous masters in going digital without losing their iconic design heritage. Ford UTTERLY failed here and completely ruined one of the key design elements that make a Mustang a Mustang and not a Kia.

Yes, that, and likely that this thread remains a draw to the forum ($$$). I get it.

Well, I don't get to see any $$, so that's of no interest to me. What is of interest to me is keeping this place friendly

Looks fine to me...

Opinions are fine and welcome when it's one and done. Vehemently spewing hatred isn't cool though, even for a forum. It becomes a drag and a turn off to be frank. You don't see me heading over the M6G starting a thread (or jumping in unrelated threads) about how atrocious I think the '18 refresh looks or how the 15-17 S550 looks more like a Ford Fusion than a Mustang.

It’s an unfortunate constant of any car forum I’ve ever been on. Like a Commandment, thou shalt have at least five toxic trolls stemming from ownership of thine vehicle’s predecessor at any given time.

On that same note, forum post counts would be cut in half if this shit didn’t exist lol.

actually we can be as negative and vehement about it as our Fancy Feast permits. The title of the thread makes it plain the slant on the topic to be found therein. That doesn't mean we can spew hatred and bile in the 'love-fest' thread(s), or indiscriminately across the board.

If you don't like people talking negatively, may I remind you the un-sub button at the top of the thread. Then you can enjoy your day, quan intact while basking in harmonious balance with glued-on tablets identifying as modern car dash.

The rest of us will pile invective on insult Ford's way till our horror is assuaged.

But what if this day never comes shogun? Then what?
