IF we must I would rather it be called grande. Ghia sounds even worse than grande.

I would go with the one I did with the Vinyl top for the Grande though. Also, as someone pointed out, the rear window of my chop there would have to be further back, as the seats are basically over the wheel well and how it is there wouldn't work.

First of all The Ghia would Never Make It! :nono: t was a Mustang II thing, and Ford Doesn't really want to associate the 05 Stang to the II's. And I think the days of the Vinyl top have past! Only OLD Guys and Hoopties get Vinyl Tops today. No Modern Car Looks Right with a Vinyl Top. 
As for the Coupe now, Here's a Coupe I did, that addressed the issue of the rear seat, I did it more like a 67-73 Coupe as the rear window is recessed. I think Ford should add a coupe back to the lineup.

Did I open my calander to the wrong page? Is this April 1st? Your're putting us on arn't you?
If you're asking whether a notchback 05 Mustang would fly, my answer is yes.
But if you're asking about a Ghia model like the Mustang II that had a half vinyl roof and whimpy trim accents, the answer is NO NO NO NO NO. :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:

A notchback mustang would fly, but there is no point making tooling for another roofline IMO. It already looks good enough as a fastback.
I agree... vynil tops got left behind in the 70's, lets keep them there. Have you ever seen a new car where the owner has a vynil top installed? looks terrible IMO

What do you guys think about the hatch-style? When was that introduced?

Those P.S. posted above kinda look like where the modern day T-bird would have headed if they didnt redesign it.
BTW,,,,,,only newer cars ive seen with the vynil tops are the lincoln's and caddy's,,,,,,,,but their ussualy limo's.

Umm. Not liking that idea at all. No Grande, No Ghia.
:gay:
That's just my opinion, though. I'd rather see a htahcback version of the current 05 stang. That'd be nice.

I'm not a big fan of hatchbacks, though the only one's I've seen in person are the Civic one's, and they kinda make me want to crap myself... or on the car, whichever I'm in the mood for...

The way fuel prices are going up, we have a better chance of seeing a "Mustang MPG" again...they could use the new duratec 2.3L engine used on the Escape, same size as the "Mustang II MPG" 2.3L ...how's that for nostalGHIA...
