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?

NO.
Ford, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? It was a risk as it was for the 2015 model, why would you botch it up like that??
Looks a bit like the last Jag XK
I wonder if people would actually notice anything if they weren’t told it was redesigned. It looks basically the same, a couple very minor changes. I think the slight difference in the angle of the picture may be causing it to look a bit different in ways it is really still the same.
Looks similar
I guess anger management working but now the mustang needs prozac
It looks like “special” kid in class but its a car…
Can ford just stop ruining there cars
The front looks like its from a charger problem runs on electricity.
From an angle it looks like a Jaguar, and head-on it looks like a grumpy old rectangular-faced man.
The old one looked better
