Thank you! Great point! I suppose they're playing the nostalgia card again by leaving the fixed mast antenna in place. In this day and age, technology has enabled us to hide antennas or make them less conspicuous. Why then, other than style, do we need them?

An antenna isn't nostalgia, it's a cost cutting measure.

I have never really been a big fan of the verts, I prefer the fastbacks, but that is a beautiful car. Ducktail it and I would seriously consider buying one instead of a Cobra or Mach in the future. Even better, the Cobra vert that you mentioned in another post Brad.

The masts are absent in EVERY promotional photo I have ever seen of the new Mustang. If Ford retained the fixed mast for cost-cutting purposes, and then omitted them from publicity photos, they must realize the antenna is uncomplimentary. I just figured that the fixed mast was used because it had always been used.
How much more would it cost to integrate the antenna into the windshield? I mean, it's just a wire, right? It seems to me it would be a whole lot simpler than making provisions for a mast (ie. holes in sheet metal, wires, grommets, seals, what have you).
Oh, that yellow looks real sweet, is the conv about a 4000 option compared to the GT coupe that i have on order, if I had not already ordered the GT coupe, I would have to seriously think about the vert...Nice Car!!!

I don't like the fan blades. I wish they offered the upgrade wheels in 18" and they made the Bullitts deeper and bigger.

My numbers based on comparing the msrps of gt premium and deluxe coupe vs. convertible models which appear to have the same options indicates a $4770 us dollars increase between coupes and convertibles.
Isn't that a larger increase than in the past?

Looks great! Notice the use of an IUP equipped vehicle to launch the vert? That should say something to all those doom-sayers that believe the IUP is dead. Good news for everyone today.

Ford is still dealing with the lawsuit,,, thats the reason,, not because of what "doom-sayers" say!
OK everyone keeps mentioning IUP issues...I've read every post on this one, yet have no idea what is going on with that. Could somone please fill me in? I have the IUP, but didn't know there were any issues with it
