Hmm, maybe that's reason that one person was quoted a lower price for insurance than they were a couple of months ago. The Insurance companies found out that the Mustang is safer then they thought, and so can offer cheaper insurance on it.........

I know I just got an updated insurance statement that shows I now pay $200.00 less / year than when I got a quote 3 weeks ago.

lol, its literally just one sentence at the beginning of the third to last paragraph:
"In addition, the rollover ratings show that the new Ford Mustang achieved the top possible score – five stars."
This is why i posted it in the Other Fords forum, but since it mentioned the mustang's rollover rating, i thought i'd at least mention it here.

The vert was rated 5.5 stars for rollover prevention cause of the lower center of gravity, but it got 2 stars for rollover protection.

This matches how the mustang has done in 2003 and 2004. In those years it got five stars in rollover and frontal crash. The side impact wasn't as good (three stars) but they didn't have side airbags, so with the optional side airbags (if patterns hold) the '05 should be a very safe car.
