As someone said earlier if there is a god it will not look like anything like that

Actually, those Mondeo headlamps are very cool (much like the Evos).........I think they'd work well on S650. My only concern is it would be nice if Mustang had them first, otherwise it seems it's borrowing design from other cars.

Has that crease in the quarter panel near the tail lamps too. I bet this is a good indication of what design elements we could see, like it or not. Stretch and sculpt this into the shape of the S550, and I bet you will be pretty close.

Is the tuner A-pillar gauge pod for testing or will it be an Ecoboost production feature? One has to wonder.

Testing purposes only......most prototypes have them.

It’s for the E-boost…..

that 'crease' on the Mondeo looks 'forced'. Totally doesn't fit and frankly detracts. Sometimes designers need to smacked silly cause they can't leave simple enough alone.

I think we have discussed for a very long time, it was not going to be revolutionary. This is more than the 2010, but nowhere near the level of change for 2015.

Agreed. Maybe a little more than grill and tail lights. But not much, IMO. Remember we are dealing with swinging into the last generation of a car that is now selling 30k units a year. There are only so many dollars to be spent on engineering and tooling, even for a halo car. The Coyote isn't going to last the entire run of the S650. The hybrid and EB will. I don't know if we'll see really special models like the GT500 or GT350. My money says no, but we'll see sort of special models like the Bullitt and Mach 1. We should be glad to keep the manual transmission with the Coyote, and be doubly glad it's upgraded to a Tremec, if the rumor mill is right. Just trying to keep it real.

Damn, I wish we could get that here, looks better than the previous gen fusion imo, sharper, sportier, more distinct.

That's actually not a bad looking car. Too bad Ford killed the Fusion here.

Keep in mind the Fusion had the S550 face before the S550 had it. So, you could kind of say the Mustang "borrowed" from the Fusion. Of course, we all know that particular design language is owed to the old Evos concept.

If they painted (or Plastic Paneled) the Underside of the Spoiler Lip, that would be pretty Cool. Gotta wonder if they're gonna use the Mache Horizontal Sequential Stripe, or the Sequential Vertical Blades.

The Crease doesn't look so bad here because: 1 - it's not too Big and 2 - The whole Quarter Panel is more Vertical. Don't think it will look that good on the 650. It's unnecessary. But, I'll wait and see.

Also, I think the World is Finally Catching up to Apple after Steve Jobs Ditched the Trade Shows and went with Apple-Centric Events. And, since Covid, they've been able to Provide Tighter, more Polished Online Presentations, with Different Reveal Schedules for Different Products.

Hey, with new Crease Lines, maybe we'll see a Two-Tone Version with Black Upper around the Windows!
