Evolution over revolution lol. The more I see it, the more that I just don't know about the rear haunches/that flat and boxy "ledge" effect that they went for. It really does make it look awfully square and blocky back there; I dunno. I'm not a big spoiler guy, and these pics REALLY show how...
My "please Ford" is that they introduce a bangup special edition/performance edition S650 that wins me over...that will be a nice segway into buying an electric Gen 8 around year two or three after the kinks have been worked out. Ideally, something like a 2026 Mach 1 to last me until a 2033 GT...
Yup...it's very much New Edge or 2010 vs 2005-2009 all over again; Ford could have called this thing an S550 refresh and I'd view it more favorably. The gen 8 vehicle is going to be far more intetesting and "new" with a lot more effort and R&D thrown at it...Dodge and company going electric...
Exactly...lol. I too am thinking that a special edition/performance model is the only hope that Ford has to convince me that I need to drop my 2015. There's really not much of a visual difference/the S650 looks like a lot of what the 2018 refresh should have been. The rear reminds me so much of...
Yup...they flattened it out with mounting a big wing/pedestal spoiler in mind. The 15-17 S550 focused on the natural lip and smaller lip spoilers, which I thought looked great, but it's clear that wjth the 18+ thwt somebody somewhere became obsessed sith shoe-horning pedestals and wings onto the...
Doubt it...Ford likely has a current vs last gen Camaro ordeal on their hands where the vehicle will underperform in sales as it just doesn't have an audience. Too similar of a look/connection to the previously successful generation and not exactly anything "new".
The Bronco and Maverick are both home runs...like, 10/10 killing it home runs and instant hits. Ford got everything right and didn't muck anything up with Millenial targeting tropes and idiotic gimmicks. Whoever was behind those vehicles deserves credit.
i'm a Millenial and like most people, am attracted to symmetry by natural design, and hate everything about the interior and the decisions made. So does every student/Zoomer that I've shown it to. "Doesn't look like a car" is common, and the whole tablet theme is a massive failure lol. Most of...
Once again...another reminder to Ford that "less is more". The Ecoboost front end is soooooooo much more attractive than the GT and Darkhorse...less plastic, less generic aggression, way more class and "car" in there...sigh.
This is pretty much it...but they took the cheesy "dumb people being out of touch" approach of thinking screens and video games were the way to go to hit with Gen Z and beyond lol. I'm a 36 year old high school teacher and not a single kid I've shown the S650 to prefers it over my car and they...
It wasn't for the S550 either lol.
I fail to really see the "improvement" in the GT to be honest. The lower ducts are slightly bigger and it has an ugly painted black grill...with one of the lower ducts closed and the other open lol. I'm from the camp yhat actually prefers the Ecoboost look...
This one for telling it like it is lol...it's not exactly all that much different from the 2015-2017 lmfao:
