S650 out here looking like the Terminator (no, not the 2003 Cobra).

I liked and do still like the 18+ front but the s650 front in GT PP/DH form is much more beefy and aggressive in comparison imo

The M1 with HP is very good looking though

I can't wait to see the mods that come out for the front fascia. Especially on the dark horse since the gray plastic comes up to the headlight.

I love the S550, but the headlights on the 18+ refresh are god awful. I'm glad Ford fixed the droopy look of the front end

Aftermarket grille makers will make a fortune on the S650 IMO.

If you could lower the 18+ Roof and Hood a bit so the Glass Corners Match, it would help. Maybe zoom out on the 18+

Not going to lie, the s650 looks more mustang than the 18+ refresh.

Like my Mach better. In terms of front ends….GT350 and Mach 1 tied for first, 2015-17 GT second, S650 third and last but still really nice …..18-23 GT. IMO the GT500 is really nice but seems just a bit overdone.

The only thing I don't really like about the S650 front end is the large black band at the bottom of the grille, it just seems a bit out of character. For other front ends, in no particular order, I like the '18 (no surprise), Mach 1, GT350 and GT500. Had the '18 refresh not changed the front from the 15-17, I would have kept my '14.

The comparison doesn't really line up. The 18 model has a much lower frontend, so matching the upper grille line gives a wrong impression how the car looks and that's why the roof line doesn't fit anymore.

Here's a quick better comparison, you can see that I tried to match splitter, roof and mirror position, so the merged images are pretty close in the same position. You easily see how much higher the S650 frontend sits. I never really liked the "droopy" face of the 18, that's why I really love the higher and more aggressive new look.

I noticed during the reveal that there aren't any fog lights on the GT's and up, what's up with that? That's always been a Mustang thing.

Agree. I think the base grille and the Dark Horse grille look better than the GT.

Not a fan of the deleted lower indicator etc lights, and not sure what to make of the taller, blunter and seemingly less aerodynamic front end.

Also seems to have a larger Windscreen glass area from the slightly raised roof and lowered belt-line / Firewall.

I like the '18 headlights. Great improvement over the '15s.
