I’m reserving judgement on this, Mustang survives while Camaro will die again for the third time… Take your annoyance and triple it for GM fans….they’re already abandoning it.

My BMW / VW fan boy co workers are amazed when I can call out the year of Mustang on the street just by looking at the front or back end. That is the point of first post I made in this thread. If the changes are only front and back facia, even moderately dramatic, it won't be big deal to most of people. As I said a new grill and head / tail lights, "meh". New power trains like AWD and hybrid options for the ecoboost? Now you will have the attention of some people who have not considering buying a Mustang recently. The V8 hybrid is not so exciting as it really does not address MPG and is more about performance aspects of adding electric drive to front wheels making it a 50K plus car. I would rather have an ecoboost hybrid starting under 40K. I'm a Ford fanboy and I couldn't pick either headlight design out of a lineup (then again, I have not owned a Mustang since the Fox body days). Just reading through this thread and seeing the pictures, I can see the differences in the designs, but can't remember which is what year unless someone tells me. So while people may have their preferences, 95% of the public doesn't know the difference and won't hold whatever headlights you have against you. ? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went the right direction for me in 2018 with a lower more aggressive front end. To me the first S550's looked too much like a fusion in front. Ford has said they wanted the next Mustang to be a poster car. I fail to see an improvement towards that goal. The design shown looks like a love child of a 2015 Mustang, a new Camaro and Charger. The black grille plastic at the bottom of the grille looks hideous, like it's wearing braces. Very glad I bought the 18, I just don't see any reason to desire the next gen at all.

Seems like a lot lot of fuss for a car that sells 3 to 4 thousand units a month doesn't it? Wonder how many i this thread will be buying an S650 or the generation after that. I know I will trade my '20 once new power train options come along. Looks probably won't be huge factor in my decision.

Welcome home!" I guess we can expect the new Mustang GT4 to be teased soon after the global debut of the '24 Mustang since it will race in the 2023 season, ahead of the new GT3 which will debut in 2024.

Can't wait to see it. I still don't know if that teaser image is the actual car, thus giving us a glimpse of the design, or if it's just an artistic rendering that shares little in common with the final design lol.

But if that is the final shape, I like it. Hard to tell, but the hood looks a little longer, the roof is more upright slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the design much more than I did before, not just as an owner but from a eye on design perspective. I think their respect will continue to grow, much like the Fox Body. And I still see new edge stangs on the road often which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came across a version of that image with a disclaimer that it was a rendering or something like that. Lol I'm sure the artist had a CG 3D model as a guide. The basic design for the GT3 should probably be locked in by now. The Ford GT race car was revealed some 7 months before its 2016 race debut, so I'm guessing the Mustang GT3 could be revealed sometime next year?

tbone Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 It’s looking like it’s nearly confirmed the carryover 5.0 engine will be having the carryover power. Disappointing for the performance enthusiast, when they can’t even do a marginal bump in power like 10 or 15 Hp to make it seems like they did something. Another let down like the Gen 3 Raptor. https://fordauthority.com/2022/11/2024-ford-mustang-gt-window-sticker-shows-horsepower-rating/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
