I was thinking compared to more like the WRX, Mazdaspeed 3, Cobalt SS, etc. Yah STI/EVO are way up there.

I called a local Ford dealer and got their pricing: $22k for V6 and $28.5k for GT (base, no options, tax not included).
What is the difference between a base Mustang and Mustang Premium? What do you get? All I can come up with is leather trim interior, Shaker 500 sound system, SYNC electronics, Interior Upgrade Package, and Sport Appearance Package -- all things I can live without (and actually prefer cloth seats over leather). Am I missing something?
<soapbox>Regarding price creep, Americans keep electing politicians who establish and advocate inflationary mechanisms: the government's central bank (Woodrow Wilson established the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913) and fiat money (FDR/Nixon detached gold from the dollar in the 1930s/1970s). Thus politicians have been printing dollars out of thin air since the early 1970s to buy votes (and pocket some loot). This action debases all existing currency in our bank accounts and forces savers to pay for politicians' actions via our dollars purchasing less and less across time.
America did not have a central bank for decades in the 1800s and kept the dollar attached to gold. Hence there was zero inflation for much of the 1800s and the price of a bond issued in the early 1800s held the same real value by the late 1800s. The only exception was when Abraham Lincoln counterfeited money (Greenbacks) to pay for the Civil War. That action destroyed the currency. For more on this, check out Peter Schiff or Ron Paul. They are politicians working to end the Fed, attach the dollar to commodity money (gold or silver) and stop the government's reckless spending. These actions will end unnatural inflation so a Mustang purchased in 2010 will cost the same as one purchased in 2014 and beyond.</soapbox>

Its the price of a 412hp engine from the factory. Including 6spd tranny, sync, etc....Why is everyone sounding surprised? The challenger and camaro offer similar features and cost more.
The Mustang is still a performance bargain, just in V6 trim. The V8 is still a good value (IMO the best compared to ite competitors) but good value does not mean its cheap

and... although there are sectors that are deflating, overall the Fed reports some inflation at present (Treasury reported 3.06 CPI-U on 11.1.09). http://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/...esandterms.htm
Also, while gold bugs blame inflation on printing money, inflation is also dictated by supply and demand... too many dollars chasing too few goods. Case in point - why Stealerships get away with ADM's on very new or limited production vehicles.
And a recession does not always mean deflation... 70's had stagflation and that's a threat going forward.

That's an excellent point. The performance upgrades are fairly priced as well, compared to the aftermarket which would be more than double the costs.

A gallon of gasoline cost $1.25 in January 2000. A gallon of gasoline costs $2.75 in January 2010. A gallon of gasoline will likely cost over $3.00 later this year.
An ounce of gold cost $279 in January 2000. An ounce of gold costs $1,137 in January 2010. An ounce of gold will likely cost over $1,200 later this year.
Ditto for other commodities: silver, oil, steel, etc.
You call this deflation?
We are talking about the price increase of the 2011 Mustang in this thread, so it is relevant to reveal the hidden factors that have driven up the cost of a Mustang from $3k in the 1960s to $30k today.
The cost of basic commodities used to build and transport new Mustangs from factories to dealers have risen relentlessly due to politicians' shenanigans:
1. Politicians debasing currency to garner votes, power, wealth.
2. Politicians supporting labor unions to garner votes and favors.
3. Politicians creating regulations on businesses to garner power and influence.
These three factors -- currency debasement, labor unions* and regulations -- have driven up the cost of manufacturing and industrial production in America. As long as Americans vote for politicians who support these, they will pay more and more for their cars (and everything else).
*I'm not against labor unions per se so long as membership is voluntary and government does not stand behind them, propping them up via coercion and tax dollars.

Has anyone considered that the 2011s went up in price in part because their competition is more expensive and the Camaro's sales have proven people will pay more?

I hope not as well. Bottom line= If they want people to order/buy Mustangs, the information has to come out sooner or later. I know I appreciate any information you pass on to us. Maybe they are updating the pricing to reflect some new codes they are putting in the order guide? We still like you 05fordgt.
