I agree with this. I still don't like the big grille but the rear looks cool. I already disliked the tablet look in other cars, so it's disappointing to see it in a Mustang.
Still don't like the grill but the car overall looks pretty good. The rear is growing on me. The Recaro seats look really nice. I'm fine with a large digital screen with lots of features but have never liked the "tablet slapped on the dash" look. I'm surprised Ford did that on a sporty car like...
The statement about the cd6 platform puts the credibility of the article in question, but I find the idea of the S650 being a 4 year run instead of 8 intriguing. It seems logical an S650 that's merely a "refreshed" S550 wouldn't go for 8 years. It also makes sense Ford would feel like it needs...
In 2022 I suspect the majority of S550 owners prefer the styling to the S197. And to me, this front end looks boxier than the S550 in a family sedan or SUV sort of way rather than muscle car. I'm hopeful that seeing the lines of the whole car will change that impression, though.
No question RWD struggles to put the power down from a dig on the unprepped surface. But the supercharged Mustang still loses to the BMW in roll races? It must have been putting out far less hp than what they said it was.
I hope the changes are more significant than this rendering suggests, though. Since Ford has apparently decided not to go with an all new platform, exterior styling is one way to still differentiate the S650 from the 550. If they're too close, I think S550 owners (including me) will be more...
I feel like a V8 hybrid with all wheel drive, a lot more horsepower, and gobs of torque would be very appealing but also have a big price premium.
Since the S650 is supposed to have an 8 year run I expect there will be a mid-cycle refresh after 3-4 years like the 2018 S550. Maybe that "last"...
I voted waiting to see what it looks like, but I'm also waiting to see performance upgrades. If it's essentially the same car underneath, I will have to be blown away by the exterior styling and interior to be interested.
