If I get one it will be a GT probably MY26. I'd change the grille, and by then hopefully there should be some clean looking options. Tint would be the first thing but I do that with all my cars.
I finally became aware of the Jim Farley statement shortly after posting that comment. 😄 I hereby change my reply to, "I hope so, too," which I think members will be more receptive to than, "I'd rather have the EV version." :)
LOL. You must be hanging out with the Corvette crowd. I am 62 and most of the S550 guys I meet and cruise with are younger than me and ask if I wear white New Balance shoes. 😄 The rear is gradually growing on me and I really can't wait to see it (and the rest of the car) in person. The dash...
The S650 GT looks nice from this angle. It hides the busy grille and looks more muscular than the S550. However, the only thing that looks more "modern" imo, is the headlights.

Perhaps I misunderstood but I thought @DeluxeStang was saying the absence of lines or creases on the sides was, by itself, a more modern look. I agree the overall design of the S650 doesn't necessarily look like a throwback to the 90s.
I do admit I like the look of...
I agree it looks more muscular, which is a reversal of the direction the S550 took from the S197. The new Nissan Z has a similar look with no lines or creases on the sides.
Is this really a "modern" design, though, or do these things just go in cycles? :)
Not a big surprise to me. My first impression of the S550 was it looked a lot like an Aston Martin. I think it was a main reason many Mustang purists didn't like the styling when it was initially released. I love the S550 shape but I still think the nose (both the 15-17 and the 18+) are a little...
When the dust settles I agree 500 vs 520 is probably not going to make much of a difference. However, the Dark Horse is not a Bullitt or a Mach 1. Ford chose a whole new name for a supposedly new generation. It makes some sense that expectations were raised.
I guess I don't get the design of the GT upper grille. It looks like the bottom part is not supposed to be showing but it shows because the grille doesn't fit in the opening. 🙂
