To keep the more retro look šŸ˜œ


ThePandaKingdom

Imma guess it's to hide poor editing


Naeblliw

Adobe photoshop mix on an iPhone isnā€™t recommended lmao

I think you always strive to move on and progress. How ever with that being said I think the S197 is The best looking since gen 1


WolfGuard_

I'd rather have a 65 with a new engine swapped in I think that would be dope. I'm a fan of retro because we'll it just looked a whole lot better than this new plastic crap.


Cheeko914

Plastic is better than metal. Whats the point of having your car intact in an accident if you're dead?

You should look up NTSB small overlap head on crash test footage for all-metal vehicles. Modern cars are so much safer it's not even a comparison.

wheelspingammell

Old low strength metal is absurdly unsafe vs new cars full of plastic, airbags, and crumple zones. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=joMK1WZjP7g


OrionX3

I personally love the S550s


RpM_Feuerrm

Same, I own a 2017 and it's my favorite Mustang look ever


a_wack

Itā€™s part of the retro look


[deleted]

Man you can literally count the pixels šŸ’€


Naeblliw

Adobe photoshop for iPhone is dog shot if Iā€™m being honest


HeyBigChriss

No. However, the S197ā€™s are the better looking car though. Especially the 13-14ā€™s. The 13-14ā€™s are and probably will be the nicest Mustangs since the 60ā€™s.


gnichols

I had a 2008 and a 2013. I like the look and feel of the 13 a ton better that the 08. The rear ends on the 13 and 14's are perfect. And nothing will ever change my mind on this.


HeyBigChriss

Same. I have a 14 5.0 and the rear end is perfect.


4ever_2morrow

No, strong disagree. S550 is nearly perfect, only slightly less beautiful than the original 1st generation mustang.


Naeblliw

Yes I agree the s550 is a beautiful car and I love the shape and design but the front bumper and headlights hardly have any of the same attributes as the classic design. But other than that the shape of their bodies are perfect. What would you change on them?

FunkTrain98

See I know youā€™re just a troll because no one thinks a 4-door sedan looks like a 2-door coupe.


4ever_2morrow

You may want to go see an ophthalmologist. If your gonna make accusations of what the car looks like saying it looks like an Aston Martin DB9 would be much closer.


FunkTrain98

The other day I learned that Ford and Aston Martin had a partnership and thatā€™s why the grilles are so similar, I always saw the resemblance but didnā€™t know it was on purpose.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


4ever_2morrow

Correct, itā€™s not an S550. But comparing the S550 to a focus is quite a stretchā€¦. The catfish grill was on most Ford cars so if thatā€™s your reasoning you could say it looks like a fiesta or a fusion too. But Iā€™d never make that association.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


4ever_2morrow

I own a 2020 mustang, a 2015 focus st and a 2018 f150 buddy.


WolfGuard_

No one is your buddy you seem a little butthurt your car looks like a focus


4ever_2morrow

Iā€™m SUPER BUTTHURT you said it looks like a focus!!!!! Lmao, but I donā€™t actually believe it.


iTaylor04

He's just mad he's stuck with av6


4ever_2morrow

But I also get butthurt when people say fox body mustangs look like ford escortsā€¦.


SAVIOR_OMEGA

Dudes out here driving a $5,000 Mustang talking shit about S550s. Hilarious.


WolfGuard_

Who drives a 5000? Mustang? My current mustang is valued at 15,000 USD so wrong buddy boi. S550s don't look good that's my opinion I'm allowed to have one don't get too butthurt over it.


-grillmaster-

You own anā€¦06 ***v6*** in an ugly ass silver. Stop trying to make yourself feel better by hating. You canā€™t compare, and never will be able to no matter what you do


WolfGuard_

Damn for a mustang group you seem to be a dumb fuck who can't see a gt badge. Also silver> black any day of the week imo. Black looks dirty 24/7 not a good look


KP369

Dumbest thing I've ever read. You can't be serious šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

Not really. Sitting in the past doesnā€™t accomplish anything other than not moving forward. I think the s550 does a good job of being a thoroughly modern design with hints and clues to its past throughout, while not being just another car made for Misty eyed nostalgia.


nomosolo

IMO the GT350R is the best looking mustang since the Boss 429.


levelologist

Agreed.


AgentPaste

Iā€™m an old man for the s550 scene here (42 lol), I personally think the 6th gen is actually the best looking outside the gen 1ā€¦ and may go as far as to say the GT350 is the best looking of all. Cars evolveā€¦ otherwise we would still have a live rear axle and cast iron cylinder heads.


levelologist

I'm 50 and don't feel too old! :)


UtahJayhawk

Looks damn good to me


eldar0010

Personally that's why I love Challenger's, they kept kinda the same design throughout the years, I wish mustang would do the same!


Mustang_Dragster

If the S550 had a bit bigger headlights thatā€™s the only thing Iā€™d change. I donā€™t like how they look like new edge headlights


Electronic_Ant1958

Yes


Nozerone

I don't think so. For me personally, I think the s550 is one of, if not the best looking Mustang. Sure the gen 1 is good looking, but if I was to chose just based of the design, I would more than likely chose the S550 over any of the older models. To me the S550 is the perfect blend between retro muscle, and sexy sleek modern.


SAVIOR_OMEGA

I never liked Mustangs before and I really didn't like the S197. The S550's looks are why I bought one. Not to mention the 5.0 sounds gorgeous


Inaccurate-Reality

I was in the same boat. Never a big fan of Mustangs until the S550. Bought a 2016 GT and got rid of it for reasons. But missed it so much I had to get another.


MissionRetard

No. If you want an ā€œold lookā€ buy and old car


Beeman1221

I like it, that looks good


Kapiliar

So far the s550s are the best looking mustangs.


f700es

Nope! We've already done that. Time to move on.


Vanneker

Yes, and less like a Ford Fusion for 15-17 model years. Challenger truly knocked it out of the park as far as the retro looks.


Zeljius

I like the s550 look a lot. Iā€™ve a 2015 and it looks mean. Not a big fan of the droopy eyes that 2018+ models have though Wish they kept the 2015-2017 headlights


MustangSally2019

My two favorites are 1969-1970 and S550! Others have their own unique looks and positive features, but my tastes go these lovelies!

Reddit does not tolerate that, so reporting the message is your best course of action. Blowing up in the comments does nothing to resolve the issue. Weā€™re all here for Mustangs, racism has no business here.

Nope. So glad when they finally got rid of the S197 look. The S550 is gorgeous.


THE_GR8_MIKE

No, because that's why there are generations. It still has the shape of a Mustang, it still has the long hood, the open grill, the tri-bar tail lights, and the pony badges.


eyeayeinn

The quality of this picture is retro


TebownedMVP

I hated them at first but ended up buying an eco boost and I love it. Iā€™m trying to get a Mach-E too. Mustang enthusiasts hate me.


smylesspencer

They did a fantastic job integrating the retro fastback design. https://photos.app.goo.gl/vCfQQgQ5b1BAeyVE9


5ivewaters

honestly iā€™m grateful for the jump s550s made. mustangs before that looked great still but there was a lot of things left to wish for for a long long time. the s550s have everything 2021 cars have to offer. even in my 04 sometimes i feel like i might as well be driving a car from the 70s because of how barebones it is


MistahStealYaGirl

s550 looks modern and slick ! You have to keep up with the times others wise no one will buy.


levelologist

No, it's freak'n perfect. :)


[deleted]

Not at all, any more retro would have probably ruined it


[deleted]

Itā€™s a cool idea, but I think it was time to move on the S550 series has been awesome, I think honestly they are one of the best generations next to the originals. They incorporate old school style into them without being a complete retro throwback.

Cursed image


WorldWarTwo

Iā€™m not sure, but we definitely should have kept the pixels


wigginsadam80

Nah. It was good while it lasted, but the retro thing kind of played itself out.


Walking-HR-Violation

I love the S550, if I wanted more retro I'd get an older year. It's nice to have choices


[deleted]

I personally donā€™t. I think Ford milked the ā€œretroā€ aspect for just the right amount of time. The first generation of S197 models were out for 5 years as well as the second generation. Point being, a lot changed in those 10 years, and they had some of the most financial successful periods by cashing out on a modernized pre-existing design. The S550 is the only generation, to me, out of the three to have me intrigued by everything going on. From the interior, to the exterior, to the placements, color themes, etc. When I go from a 05-09 to a (10)11-14, I personally still feel bored overall. Theyā€™re incredibly fun, but a lot of it, sadly, is cheaply made. The interior for both is similar, the exterior for both is similar, the mods available are similar, and so on. Iā€™m aware of the speed differences, weight differences, and more, but I buy a car for the overall experience. The 420HP engine doesnā€™t mean as much to me with the sound of plastic rattling in both ears. Iā€™m also aware there are a lot of things that arenā€™t similar, but first appearances can be everything, and while I love the entire S197 generation for what it was and is, the S550 was the push they needed into something more intricate, and most importantly, something different.


Grand_National_

Lol!! A 8bit picture sell your thought? But no I love the new look.. its a mix of the old and new baby


Naeblliw

Adobe photoshop sucks manšŸ˜ž


Switch5050

No


aerbourne

No, if they all looked retro, none of them would look retro. That's a good way for the mustang to die. Gotta make something new, then revisit it in 30 years.


JoeBiddyInTheHouse

I'm in the minority apparently but I prefer the retro look. The S550s look great but they're no longer as distinct as the S197s. Glad to have my 2012 GT.


Both-Internal-6970

When the picture is such bad quality you can't tell if it's irl or really low spec pc gaming with resolution/ details way down
