I'm thinking the Pony vert is going to be one hot item. looks like they had a couple of them on that lot. I think it makes for a great combination at a price point that a lot of vert shoppers will go for. guess we'll be seeing soon enough!

I like the Tungsten... very nice

I don't really like the Pony grille though... probably because I've seen it photochopped so many times, that now when I see it on a real car, it still looks like a chop.

Guess I'll need to see it in person...

Wow, I'm really digging the tungsten! That looks fantastic. It's a very cool grey color, almost blue-ish. Can't wait to see it in person.

The Pony Package grille, I really thought it was great when I saw the head-on shots. But these are the first shots I've seen at a sharp left/ right angle and I don't care for it as much. The fogs are set so deep in the bezels, it looks odd. Plus the corral & spear treatment looks flat, no depth to it. Maybe it looks better in person.

EW.... The GT looks fine but it need Bullits not k-mart looking ones!! And the pony package looks good in Ford shots but in those pics im not too sure... I would get the GT fogs if it was my choice. What would you rather have little fogs or good GT fogs? Are these cars already for sale?

GT Fogs are really nice but they fit the whole big engine theme that the GT has it just looks powerful, so I don't think I want people/cops/rice racers to confuse my V6 with a GT I like that the 05 GT&V6 have a unique look and that the 06 has the Pony option it will make for a more interesting mix out on the road. My opinion of the Pony grill has changed considerably since the new pics were posted. Can't wait to see it for my self and make my final judgement.

The pony package isn't too shabby, I like it, but I won't swap to it.

Not crazy about the corralled pony, prefer the 05 look.

Its official...tungsten needs the stripes to look cool...=(

OK, thats a bit of an overstatement, but as someone who has an 06 tungsten on the way, I'm a bit disappointed.

I still have hope: a couple of layers of Zaino + satin silver or black racing stripes. Too bad the dang racing stripes cost like $1500-$2500 aftermarket (are these numbers correct?).

Im not liking tungsten...but maybe i need to see it in person.It looks kinda dull...

Pony package for me,is a coin flip...

Sure hope the 06's have all the first year bugs worked out...


ps: any vista blue cars out there yet?

Agreed. Let the pony run.

I don't really like the pony package, i'm alright w/ the fogs being smaller/different than the GT's or whatever, i just don't like the corral and the stripy things coming off the corral! (sorry but i'm not sure what there called). I think thats what makes the pony package grill look cheap, just my opinion, i would be much more satisfied w/ just a smaller set of fogs or a different placement of the fogs for my V6. It would still be a bit different from the GT but not look cheaply either. Again just my .02

It's that last shot of the Tungsten shot facing the left front/driver's side that seems the best indication of the Tungsten color. Pretty dern close to NAIAS if you ask me - but it needs the stripes and the 18"s to really do it. The grey bullets are just too close to the body color to have any pop to them.

Those of you with Picasa2 - try playing with the "fill light" fix to see what it might look like in the sun.

I have to say I'm feeling better about the choice of Tungsten. The more pics I see the more I think it will really "pop" as people say in the sun.

Can't wait to see some pics with ICAP. I wonder what subdued candy apple red stripes would look like??? Hmmm....

I don't think the pictures do justice to the metallic paint up close or in person.

We should see a flood of pictures in the next couple of weeks.

Are the stripes different on the 06 Pony Package than the 05 V6?

Tungsten looks GREAT, even in these pics! I love how it goes dark at non-lit angles, it really enhances the lines in the body. Want one.

And I kinda surprise myself, I actually like the corraled pony. Doesn't look bad at all.
