Came out late tonight

Whos your daddy! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dancedood.gif[/img]

I guess there is a difuser panel on the CS rear valance as well.

(68B) Premier trim package: Check out the stitched dashboard, with stitched armrests, center console, 'stitched' side panels and Aluminum pedal covers [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon24.gif[/img] Apparently only on the GT/V6 premiums, not on CS or Pony V6. And look carefully at the color list, its a color leather package with all the ICAP type accents in either Dove, Chamois, Parchment, Red, and Black only in a Charcoal interior. Sounds awesome [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headbang.gif[/img]

And what do you think the chances are that 'Dove' is WHITE!? An orange GT with a charcoal interior with WHITE leather ICAP, could it be? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon24.gif[/img]

One other cool change was the very inexpensive sport interior aperance package added aluminum pedals and includes black seats, carpets and door inserts with any interior color to give lots of contrast. Sounds super slick for budget-consious buyers wanting a flashy interior. A budget buyer can get a manual V6 with just the SAP and the 17" now stand-alone wheels for a song and have a very cool looking car.

No word on exactly what spoiler they are using though.

Holy smokes the combinations just went through the roof [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img]

I wonder what they mean by "Special new bright polished six-gauge cluster" included in the Interior Upgrade Package.

I know, I hate how there is no 'photographic' explanations in order guides. It can take weeks or months before theres some sort of visual information on what the changes are. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img]

Looks like no power increase for 07...
And the V6 can have the 17" concept style wheels as well

Windveil Blue carries over to the 2007MY (I thought I read somewhere that it wasn't going to make it?). Cool.

Few notes on GT/CS:

1. Hood Scoop is not listed for the GT/CS package.
2. Looks like spoiler delete is an option for GT/CS (so you can add a GT/CS tradtional ducktail)
3. As Boomer indicated no add'l HP [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]
4. Verification of only Black stripes for the GT/CS. I wonder if you can request that they not put the stripes on. They would be hard to see on a Black or Vista Blue car.

I still have to bring mine in for skipping, I wonder if I wait a little if I can get the new shaker with the aux input?

This is great. Do you think that everyone with 2005/6 models will be able to purchase the heated seat kit and install it in there mustang as an upgrade? Are there any technical schematics of the set up yet?
Nice work on getting this info.

Any decent upholstry/electronics shop like classic soft trim can put heated seats in any car. Its usually about 400-500 bucks max and warrantied. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

you could put remote start/autodimming mirror/heated seats/custom leather/nav/reverse sensing or rear camera/DVD sunvisor screens, whatever, very easilly in any car as well.

Any word yet when you can place an order for an 07? Since the insurance company has totaled my '05, I just might place an order for an 07 instead of getting an 06.

It states on the last page "All dimensions and horsepower/torque ratings are preliminary figures".

There's still a tiny ray of hope at least.

man that really sucks...you're forced to take leather with the Comfort Package...heated seats. Not a big fan of leather.

With that said...this is a question for leather owners. (as i may have to give in and go leather in 2007).

How do you find the leather seats in your 2005, 2006?
Too Cold in the winter?
Too Hot in the summer?
Feels a bit hard to sit on?
Any cracking?

The leather seating is fantastic! Seats are NOT too firm. I have no problem with cold/hot.....I don't think its that big an issue. They will get hot if you leave it out in the sun all day and in the winter, they do get cold, but its a minor issue vs. how easy they are to clean.

The leather does crack, however. Be sure to use conditioner on it. Regardless, it will show signs of wear. But all in all, its holding up fine.

There is no hope.

I hate to tell you this, but if you look at the '06 Must OGs, the 3rd revision of it dated Feb 06 still said "*All dimensions and horsepower/torque ratings are preliminary figures"

If there was any HP increase it would have been spelled out on page 1 & 2 the OG under "key marketing points & Major product changes".
