As someone whose next car goal is to own a V8-powered Mustang, I'm admittedly quite the casual within the Mustang enthusiast community. I honestly can't tell the differences between the GT and Dark Horse besides 20HP (potentially), some distinctive styling cues, more track focused intentions in...
At this point I'm more impressed digital screens are standard in this Mustang in the first place. The HVAC controls being relegated to the touchscreen will take time to get used to for me, but not a deal breaker. And frankly I still don't know why the volume knob is now on the passenger side...
That makes two of us.
If POV videos are anything to go by, I think the Voodoo sounds better from the inside than the outside. Personally I prefer the Coyote's bass coupled with the active exhaust.
So if the S650 is supposed to have an eight year life cycle, but the EV Mustang gets revealed in 2028, would that mean there would be potentially be two Mustang coupes in the market at that time? (I'm just going off of memory here at the moment.)
Well, that makes it a lot easier for me to wait for the '25s or '26s. Absolutely none of those colors interest me in the slightest. (Waiting for a metallic white, something really close to [if not exactly] Gotta Have It Green, or a dark green that doesn't appear black at night that isn't Dark...
Huge fan of Raiti's here. After seeing his preview, I'm going to find some way to make a Mustang GT (at minimum) work even if I decide to move up north in the future. And if I can't...somehow, I'll find another way.
I LOVE how the S650 turned out, inside and out!
After seeing the latest leak photo of the fastback's rearside, my concerns about the taillights have been resolved. Visually I love the S650's exterior. I hope everything else I have questions about gets addressed once they officially reveal it tonight. (Depending on how things turn out It may...
I'm looking forward to tonight resolving whatever gripes I have with the design language of the S650. That said it's definitely growing on me. The original S550 didn't wow me (shocker) but the facelift was what got me back in to cars in general. I'm still holding out hope for some internal...
The taillights will take some getting used to for me. But I don't think I'll really know how I feel about it until the live reveal. Hopefully some motion footage will clear some things up.
(UPDATE: I think the offset feeling I got from the taillights is because they look off on this specific...
I'm getting hyped for tomorrow but I'm kind of glad I'm not going to be able to get the S650 right away. It just feels like lately Ford has been struck by the recall hammer multiple times on multiple models. And as awestruck as I anticipate I will be by the S650, I can only imagine how many...
If I'm hearing the teaser correctly, is it also possible that the digital dash will be standard across all trims? That would be interesting, if likely pricey.
Farfetched thinking, I know, but I'd like to imagine that sound on whatever variant of the Mustang will be slotted above the GT. Something street-legal, of course, like a BOSS- or Shelby-type.
I think in my case, the only nice surprises left would be purely aesthetic or technological. Stuff like optional "iced" taillights, polished carbon fiber interior trim, or digital rear-view/360-degree cameras. Small consolations to mend the sting of "No AWD/Hybrid for S650 Period STOP BEGGING...
At this point are there any surprises left that people can realistically hope for with the S650? Or is it down to just about the equivalent of "please enjoy the refreshed exterior and interior folks"?
Ah, the Audi 5s. I'm a fan of their sportbacks. A shame they're clear out of my targeted price range though ($50K is my max, $55K if I'm willing to stretch, but that's a huge IF).
Personally, I'd love to see what this car would look like in "Gotta Have It Green", myself. It's the only green color I've truly liked on Mustangs thus far, aside from maybe Dark Satin Green (this one's due to a videogame bias---specifically Gran Turismo 2), Electric Green (what I was hoping...
As an outlier fan who would've loved the potential added practicality of both AWD and a hybrid V8 (or just a regular V8 with AWD at the very least), it's time to go through something equivalent of the five stages of grief between now and September 14th. Keep my expectations in check that we'll...
