I hope it's a mistake, but the Comfort Group is supposed to include the heated seats for $575. When it's selected, it forces you to select the heated seats (ok, fine, they're included), but it adds $825 ($575+$250) to the price. I do not think this is correct.

I was also curious to see if the Premier interior pictures were accurate this year, but they aren't shown at all. There's just a placeholder image.

I hope that these are just bugs that will get corrected.

This also confirmed that you need to get AAT to get HID's. This doesn't make any sense, the two should be available independently. I don't want the AAT, yet have to buy it to get the HID's...

Yeah, it sucks that it's more expensive. But I think it's outweighed by the side airbags coming standard. (But sucks for anyone who didn't want the side airbags. ...I wanted them regardless)

Try to get a GT/CS in Grabber Orange,, it won't let you.
Blue, white and black are only choices.
I would say it's hosed up some.
Cody, I agree with you on the 3.55 gears, WAY to big a price jump over last year.

Why would anyone NOT want the active anti theft system? These cars are targets and there is not one aftermarket system that can work as effectively as the factory installed AAT that integrates into the powertrain control module directly.

Yeah, it's not working right. I just built my 08 GT and the website didn't charge me for the Premier Trim Package, shows $0 should be $395.

I doubt if I'll get it for free when it comes in!

I noticed the same thing about the 3.55 price. Why was there such a jump in price from last year. Weren't they invoiced at $87 last year? I can't imagine that since side air bags are standard now that that is why there was over a $200 jump in price for the 3.55.

Does anyone know for sure? Have any of the dealers on the board heard a reason?

Thanks.

3.55 are now $300 probably because they were a popular option and Ford see's an easy way to make a ton of money ... in reality it cost's them absolutely nothing to put a 3.55 in there instead of a 3.31 during assembly.
