^^ pretty biased opinion, lol. Its all subjective...I dont really like them unless its the GT500 or has the Shelby kit. Definately NOT attractive to me in stock form at all.

They're alright and I would definitely drive one over my car but only because of the extra power. If they had the same motor I would probably go with the New Edge. The Roush Kit does make them look a lot better. Just like the New Edges the Roush looks the best

yeah unless you have a aftermarket body kit on it i do not care for the s197's looks. although i do like the 3v its a nice engine that responds alot better to mods compared to our 2v.
IMO newedge > s197

to tell you the truth....i hate there stock look. FORD couldve done so much better with there look ie: the camaro. and personally i think it was stupid to put in a 3v. why not just stick with the 4v. ive only seen a few that really caught my eye, other than those few im bot a big fan. i vote NEW EDGE

They don't look to pretty stock, put a spoiler on them with the right set of wheels and I think they look great. The Roush's look so good it makes me wanna wet myself.

I voted "love them". I like that Ford went back to a retro look. The interior is awesome, ford finally got that right. I think the a$$ end looks ugly and the tail lights are way to big. Thats about my only complaint. I also love my new edge. I love the sharpe edge lines. I think that ford should make the new 05+ but with sharp edge lines in them.

Ok, the interior in the s197's are waaayy better imo, the exterior to me didnt come through. It looks like a chicks car to me. And when I drove one it felt different than my new edge. The throttle response is diff. All in all I say NEW EDGE!!!

Looks on outside not as good without hood scoop side vents and entire look of the car. I could of purchased a used 05 GT convertible but passed on it because I personaly did not like the look of the car compared yo the new edge GT. 300 HP is nice though!
