So far I'm a fan except for the rear and the tacked-on wing. Still waiting for interior shots though, which will be my main concern.

I guess what you've outlined is true for many, but generally my personal assessment of appearance doesn't change much from my first impression.

I didn't hate the C6 at all when I first saw it, in fact I loved it and still do. Same goes for the Mustang refresh in '10 and in '13 - both looked great to me instantly. I didn't even hate the '15 Mustang at first sight (unlike many), and don't hate it now, but I do still prefer the older ones. However the 5th gen Camaro refresh was a step backward and it hasn't grown on me at all; it seems the 6th gen just compounds this even further.

I need more interior pics, but so far those look great! The body lines will have to grow on me though. Not bad at all to my eyes.

EDIT - Brembos and 8-speed confirmed on all models. I'm sold.

Default Better than I thought

That turned out better than I thought. The new instrument panel alone is enough make it WAY better than the 5. The IP and the poor visibility turned me off big time on the 5th gen.

I was thinking about buying a used droptop 5th Gen next year but looks like I'll hold off and buy a 6th in a couple of years for my retirement gift!

Here's another view of the SS. Looks good imo. That interior looks really nice! Idk if they're going to but I'm sure the 1LE, Z28, & ZL1 will look pretty damn aggressive.




V6 not so much...

It doesn't look quite as bad in these full images, still not for me though.

Still not sold. It reminds me of the Lexus RC, which I find to be

Bwahahaha. What a pile of ****. Once again GM brings an engine to the table...... that's it. I'm not a fan of 5th gens This is definitely worse IMO. Won't grow on me, won't get my money. Point and laugh.

As above they've been hinting that this wouldn't be a major overhaul in looks. They didn't disappoint there. If there weren't enough people jumping ship for Mustangs.... They are going to flock now

Hate to post, then quote a post. But I missed yours, and you nailed it.

Meh...its a smaller 5th gen with worse visibility and that shitty small rear window. The only thing it has going for it, is the motor which is badass

Never been a fan of the 5th Gens besides maybe a ZL1 or Z28 but i like that it will have the LT1. Did not realize they were putting out a 4 banger with a turbo

More like jumping into Challengers. The new Mustang is fugly too with that "global" front end. Looks like a Taurus.

I've sat in a 5th gen and was so crammed in it I wouldn't have been able to drive it for very long. Not holding out much hope for the 6th gen. I have sat in a '15 mustang and had a lot more room in it than expected. The Challenger was built for big and tall guys with all the room it had.
I will have to see a new 6th gen in person before I pass judgement.

All in all it really doesn't matter to me, I cant afford any of them.
