Thanks for more pics of the Windveil Blue. The more I see it the better it looks.

Windveil is definitely a color that is hard to caputre on camera, the same goes with sonic blue. The colors change so much depending on the lighting and the camera that every picture seems different.

That said, I would still love to see a sonic blue pic in the sunshine, I would love to see how the light reacts to those bodylines.

I talk to a few guys, and they really didn't seem to know what was going on with the Mustang, imo...
Yeah, I spoke to one of the "product specialists" there. I asked if 18" wheels would be available by spring. His response..."Don't know about that...but I know that these (the ones on the GT there), are the Premium 17" wheels".

I asked him if we would see a Special Edition by spring. He responded......"Well I know a Cobra is coming in '06".

I was there from 10:00-12:00.

I have pictures, but they're pretty similar to those posted here. I noticed that the Mustang there had been used up pretty well. There was some body work, scratches, and the interior surfaces were peeling. I don't think it's a function of poor quality, but rather a preproduction vehicle that has seen its share of testing.

The Windveil looks great in person. The seats were comfortable. But, similar to Frank, my 6' 1" body made the back seat pretty much unusable. Some of this is due to the fact that I have longer than average legs and arms. The wheel well spacing between the tire and the car was the same for both the front and rear tires. It definately wasn't "4x4".

First off..Hello, I have lurked around on this site for a while and must say how outstanding it is. Secondly, I was at the innovation drive on saturday too and brought my camera with me because I thought it about time I start pulling my weight around here and giving back to this site, especially since it was on this site that I learned of the innovation drive in the first place.
As for my observations...People have said here before that this car looks better in person than in photos, well that is an understatement. This car is stunning in person. I told the ford guy that there was not one thing on the car I didn't like. From every angle it looked great. The interior was also outstanding, the seats are a vast improvement over my 99, I really liked how the head rest on these seats were actually head rests and not some useless hunk of padding that sits on top of the seat. Kudos to the folks at ford, it was very apparent that they did their home work on this car, not one person I talked to at this show wasn't impressed.
But enough of my banter, now I will try figure out how to post some of the pics I took. The have others that can be posted later if anyone is interested.
Thanks
BC

Is the interior of this WB Light grey? This is the car that I would like to order.. Or maybe a vert!
Great job on taking the pictures.
Now I just hope that the mustang they bring to orlando for the innovation drive will be the WB.
