2024 Mustang rear-end an improvement?

[TTown]

I'm curious, who actually thinks that the area below the license plate was an improvement?

Not a huge fan of the bulges extending upward above the exhaust but everything else about the rear end is better! I would appreciate some vertical diffuser fins like the S550 but honestly im so tall I can’t even see that part of the bumper lol

1000%

Makes the S550 tail look pre historic.

I would only wish the rear lights were grabable just like the S550.

Now they look like flat stickers

I'm not going to say its an improvement, just that I do like it.

Overall, I like it. I like the painted panel more than the S550 piano black. Other than that I prefer the s550 rear, but still a fan of both.

I can definitely see why someone would like the painted panel over the piano black. I am kind of in the middle on that one. I don't really like the sharp creases on the 2024. Overall, I think the S550 rear is better, but the S650 rear is pretty good except when compared to the S550.

Now the front, that is a different matter. I think the S650 just doesn't look good period.

I bought a 2022 because I’m not sold on a whole bunch of stuff yet (e-parking brake, subscription navigation, lack of buttons, limited tuning, v notch backend, driver oriented interior, removal of original sport plus digital driver gauges, etc.). However, I did see a S650 GT in yellow splash driving down the road yesterday, and I didn’t dislike it at all. It didn’t remind me of a Camaro like I thought it would. It did look pretty low to the ground, wide, and square, but definitely better than expected. I saw the dark horse at the Mustang launch as well, which I think looks great because the wing balances out the notch and the large quarter panels. So based on my experiences, I’m thinking the S650 looks better in person as a whole, especially compared to individual photos.

Yes. Imo its a slight win for the 650 for me. Love how they are integrated with the spoiler too. Cant wait to see aftermarket/tinted tails as well.

From the license plate up the rear has grown on me and I like it, but I agree with thumbs down to the thick plastic below the license plate.

Saw the car in person yesterday. You’re correct. Overall though the car looks nice. The back is very flat looking. Probably why they added the crease and the larger diffuser. The side does look Camaroesque but I don’t see an issue with it at all.
I do believe we’ll see improvement in the panel fitment. Know why? Because the new camaroesque design will make misfitment less obvious and easier for the line to get closer to correct….Hopefully.
It looks clean. The screens still suck but are not mounted as high as I thought they were. Dash does look clean and modern but doesn’t look Mustang at all as we’ve known it.
I’d say the dash could be in ANY modern vehicle, but nice quality. There’s just no indication that it’s a Mustang dash from a design perspective. Quality of interior looks good though. Maybe better quality than the S550. Not sure if that’s an illusion though because it’s new.
Overall, I like it. Not fond of the spoiler though. A little too much Civic R influence going on there for me.

Really like the new rear design, especially removing the piano black which I was never a fan of. I just wish the bottom half below the license plate was just a bit more flush. Even a half inch would do wonders.

I've thought that as well. The rear on this car really needs the wing to offset that deep notch, flat look on top without it.

Yea the black plastic down low protrudes out too much; there is just too much of it.

Im not big on the plastic part myself, but taken as a whole, I think the S650 rear looks better. I think it looks the best in Dark Horse form with the gurney flap installed, but I may be biased
