The 2018 Ford Mustang Facelift Has Been Leaked And Not Everyone's Impressed
Fancy an early look at the incoming Mustang facelift? You’re in luck, as the good folks over at Mustang6g.com have managed to get hold of a b-roll video featuring the refreshed sixth-gen pony in GT Performance Pack-spec.
The most prominent changes are at the front, where the Mustang has gained a new pair of headlights, plus a reshaped lower section with a new light and grille arrangement.
The rear hasn’t received quite as much attention, but the light clusters are new, and that wing certainly wasn’t there before. We’re assuming the latter comes as part of the Performance Pack, which is fitted as standard on European cars.
Judging by the initial online reaction, not everyone’s keen on the 2018 car. The like-to-dislike ratio on the YouTube video is particularly savage, and it seems like most commenters on Mustang6g.com aren’t fans of the changes. As far as we’re concerned, the facelift does give the Mustang a slightly moodier look which we’re not so sure about.
Still, initial reaction to refreshes (the ones that actually make a noticeable difference, at least) often strays toward the negative side, so the Internet may yet warm to the 2018 Mustang.
What do you think of the facelifted Mustang?

Usually i’m scared when I see a mustang not cuz’ of the wanna be aggresive look of it but as I’m part of the crowd
Luckily I’m still alive
Looks so depressed
Don’t know why, but the new face reminds me of a stormtrooper
The new one looks sad/droopy and kinda ugly, where as the old one lools aggressive, angry, fast and fantastic. Bad move ford
That spoiler is outright grotti
I like it. Seems like that goth kid in clsss who you know not to mess with but other people dont know that
Facelifts generally improve a car visually and this is not one of them.
Botched
2015 and 2018 look as good as each other
I expected some kind of foam padding on the front for pedestrian safety
