I'm already preferring the MY18 in most colours, especially the above Orange.

It's grown on me. Initially I didn't like the headlights but in better photos and certain colours it looks pretty good, maybe not quite as good as the current model but close.
Direct injection plus port injection for the V8. Magneride dampers like the GT350 and dual mode exhaust. Hopefully we get these options here. Digital dash which can be customised into any colour you want. Looks like they have dropped the height of the bonnet for much better aero. Might make it a better V8 Supercar And for FFS Ford make the bonnet vents standard on the V8 here |

Same here. When I initially saw the first images I was disappointed but the more I see it, the better it gets. I think our version will look even better as we won't have those orange reflectors in the headlights that the US design rules dictate for over there.

Sooo similar it does not warrant saying this is the worst ever and the previous is the best ever.
I agree the 2018 is actually an improvement if anything and would be my preferred choice. I'd be happy with either actually. Like XY and XW GTs I love both for different reasons but to my missus and 90% of the population it's the same bloody car. |

Seems 50/50 at the moment, the colour and angle seem to make a huge difference where the current shape seems not to be effected by that.

Personally I think it's the best looking modern Mustang yet!

The only thing I would mod (and will probably not even be on AUS versions anyway) is the orange reflector in the headlights. That messes with the flow. But overall, looks REALLY good and more aggressive IMO.
