S650 vs S550 real life side by side comparison look (rear view)

Exterior, maybe. Interior, not a chance.

I like what they did with the door panels. That’s it.

The S650 isn't meant to be a radical departure or redesign. It's just an evolution of design and performance -- kinda like the Porsche 911.

Does my opinion bother you? Aww. Fweewings huht? I'm also on the Camaro forums, and they actually don't mind when I up the Mustangs. Go figure.

I'm sorry if you work for Ford or have YT channel dedicated to Mustangs. Ford dropped the ball with the S650s. It is what it is.

I think they did what they could with the current market situation, coupled with financial and stock difficulties over recent years.

they aren’t ready to go all electric/hydrogen, etc. on the most important enthusiast car they have, so they took what was working and made it better instead of investing in an all new platform.

mullaly knew what he was doing with mustang (and the rest of ford). Fields and Hackett messed it all up. Now Farley comes in and basically has to put together arescue plan in a pinch. So we get s550 plus instead of a truly new platform.

Mae would all love to benefit from an all new setup. But for what it is, ford did an incredible job. Its A beautiful car.

Yeah, I wanted a new interior so bad for 5-10 years, I would take almost anything. Def a failure except the flat steering wheel. It could grow on me. I do want to see the ext. in person. The blue lights at auto shows (pics) and bad amateur pictures are not good. I wanted to go to DC auto show, but it was terrible trash and not worth the time last year. Could only see the Z06 from afar. No imports or luxury lines.

I am not optimistic for 7Gen. The lights look too small and the whole body looks out of Wack when divided into 3 sections. The DH front plastic is terrible. I like the taillights idea, but I say no. The 7G does not look like muscle.

This is pretty much how I feel...it's fine, but it's clearly limited in potential from reworking what they could from the S550's bones. It's just not a real difference to me at this point in time, with the weird sort of "plastic fantastic" exterior and "tablets everywhere" interior being the real issues for me that totally kill it. It's just not enough of its own thing for me, with no real "yup, there it is" feature to lure me in and get me going. Nice car for anybody without an S550 to jump into though, or if you just like the interior tech I guess.

Wow… it literally makes S550 look like a MODEL-T

just antique… and ho hum

Yup, just like a model T….

Yup, just like a model T….

Koons Sterling Ford (the other "heavy" in Mustang-land here in NoVA) has a Model-T in their service driveway. I guess this means I need to have them position a S650 next to it so I can take a side-by-side and you all can dissect the similarities and differences.

How Inconspicuously obvious.

Was your first car a Model-T? Because your vision is severely impaired .

This angle makes the S650 look a little plain compared to the S550.

Bland is the word I’d use.

I agree, less body lines, looks longer... smoother.. sorry reminds me of a camaro/challenger mix...

I think the S550 looks dated on that picture (still a nice car, don't get me wrong). The S650 is what it was intended to be: a frefresh.

I think some doubters in this forum will change their mind once they see the car in person.

I saw the car in person. Bland is all I can say

You’re comparing a base model vs a high trim appearance package lol.

That’s a mustang GT. With optional wheels. Why word ford display a base model at Daytona 24 hour race.
But you are right it looks like a base model. ………..Bland !!!
