2015 Ford Mustang - General Discussion

Looks like a normal people mover now.

Looks like a normal people mover now.

Guess that when they finally bring around the GT500 and another 350 people will be that much more angry at how well it looks compared to the standard versions.

I don't think there's been this much universal backlash towards something Ford did to the Mustang since they tried going FWD.

It seems to be pretty universal across social media as well. Ford is getting blasted.

And deservedly so, all they did was ruin the current car and call it a refresh, the accountant *******s.

 

[Aphelion]

With the amount of people who work at ford you would think at least one of them would have said how bad this thing looked.

 

[VXR]

Well that's taken the brave new look of the current model and played with it for the heck of it. The grille looks too low, the bumper design looks cheap. All they needed to do was give it some new air intakes on the front bumper and be done with it.

Why, Ford, why?!

I must be the only one who thinks it doesn't look that bad. Granted the pre facelift models are better but this isn't so bad.

I feel like they tried to add some "edginess" to compete more with the Camaro's styling, and it didn't work out so well.

 

[Adamgp]

I don't think it looks terrible, but don't think the looks improved any. I'd have to see one in person.

 

[MedigoFlame]

I honestly don't know why, but the facelift somewhat reminds me of the 2011-2014 Charger. Just with the headlights a tad bit more squinted.

Might just be me.

Edit: Or...the new Elantra.

 

[Yauma9]

It looks way better in these photos.

 

[Aphelion]

Nope, still looks like a bootleg.

The return of Kona Blue has my attention as well as the "MagnaRide."

 

[I6sexus]

Wow way to ruin what was quite nice.

To me that's the worst thing. This is seriously the second mustang I have ever actually respected on a visual design basis and they ruined it.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

So Ford has put the other foot down and killed the V6? I guess that was bound to happen.

Looks that way. If I recall they mentioned ditching the V6 in favor of the I4 turbo.

 

[YSSMAN]

I'm not sure why people think it looks so bad. It looks like a Mustang, and I think that's the most important part. Still, it hasn't walked away from my demand to remove that damn pony out of the grille and off of every square inch of the car. Do that on an EcoBoost coupe and I think it'd be quite cool.

[ProjectWHaT]

The only things that look bad are the lights and the new spoiler. If it kept the same headlight shape then it would look bearable.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Maybe the facelift will grow on me by the time I start looking to buy one around 2020.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

It actually looks more Jaguarish when looking at these more recent photos. I'm not actually turned off by the looks that much, my biggest gripe with the front end really are the headlights. I don't understand why they altered the shape of them.

 

[FT-1]

I can see why this is receiving a huge backlash, it looks far less aggressive than it used to be. However, I'm getting Japanese/Korean sports car vibes from the front as a result of the softer look and I do kinda like it.

 

[Slash]

Head on view of the changes.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah I don't think it's going to grow on me.

From the front 3/4 view it looks like it has a massive underbite.

I'm sorry but that Chihuahua's so ugly its bloody adorable.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I really think Ford are trying quite hard to get this out of the pony car looks it's carried for a while and make it look more like an actual Grand Touring sports car. The car seems to get more and more squished vertically and somehow have a wider body stance.

To me it seems the car is going toward a 70s route in looks somewhat.
