I think the rear of the car and the taillights in particular look fantastic from this angle:
unfortunately it's the ONLY angle that looks good. But in some twisted logic that's a good thing I guess because well, that's the view the entire world is going to experience, right?

Fair point - the whole thing looks good in motion, which is what matters. I'm not buying a 60 thousand dollar wall.poster. :D

They are in fact disproportionately small for the rear end. They need to come down further to be in line with the lowest portion of the trunk and thereby making a straight line from taillight-trunk-taillight. That would've fixed the whole thing.

It will be American Muscle with an aftermarket fix.

They're a fine size, given the elimination of the rear scratch magnet. They just aren't imitative of the 550.

Yes, I like them. But probably would swap with Raxioms as soon they become available.

I am not the only one who thinks the real lights are too small. Actually I read numerous comments of people that think the same.

Today I saw a video on YouTube of a sketch guy and I was curious about what he would improve out of the new S650.

And he made the car exactly as what I wanted. Making the rear lights bigger is the solution.

I feel the tail lights are not in proportion to the rest of the back end.
They are too small. Any smaller it'd be a Camaro.

Other than the interior, it seems the rear tail lights is dividing opinions.

my initial reaction was yuck, they look conservative, politically correct and horrible...

the more I look at it's growing on me. I still haven't worked out whether I'm warming to it because it's simply new and different

LOMA I,m the opposite @ first it was not bad the more I see them changed my mind.

The dash is not for me, I actually saw a KIA min suv commercial of all things. That had a dash that looked pretty close to the Mustang.

To be fair all the new stuff seems to sporting the rectangle box and digital display layout....... soon to be turned into a Flat screen TV .... just wait

Why does Ford insist on using Bulbs in side markers.?
With the cost of LED strips from several vendors available.
The bright bulb with bleed of light through the reflector is a big fail.

I’ve had to replace mine with DD versions.

That's a lot of real estate to replace in a rear end collision. One rear end facia, two plastic panels, mufflers and tailpipes, and a trunk lid, not counting all of the infrastructure underneath.
