That is odd. They may know that the GT is going to sell much quicker than the V6. Not a knock, but even the big dealer I'm in business with right now is talking about how hard it is to keep GT's on the lot. It probably won't be there long, that's my guess.

Because a V6 sitting outside won't make passers by pull into the lot.

A GT will.

LOL Diamond....I would have to agree that the GT outside would garner more attention then a base model stang...but if it's covered in snow I'm not sure what they are thinking....maybe it's sold and the V6 got it's spot...both are beautiful bodies so I guess it doesn't really matter....ya can't see what's under the hood from the street so maybe it makes sense....

I am "VERY SHOCKED" just as the sub title has indicated. Actually, no I am not they can do as they want as long as it's not the one I'm paying for. Oh and your shift key seems to be on the fritz, please have it fixed immediately.

Did you ever think the GT might be sold and is a customers car?

I bought my Satin Silver GT off the showroom floor on Jan. 3rd. It took them all of thirty seconds to roll it outside for a test drive. The dealer only had one other '05, a Black V6, parked outside.

To be honest, I wish my GT was outside instead of being exposed, and potentially groped, by every person passing through the showroom for the three weeks it was there. Luckily, no scratches that I could see. Haven't checked under the seat for gum yet!

I said if I'm paying for it. Not if someone else is. I've already made it clear to my fleet director that my car is to be left alone and there is not much chance of snow here in California. I have also asked for it to be covered until I can go over there, if I'm running late.

I've heard about that the GT's are bad, maybe it got caught doing something!

let's face it, 5 days in the snow will not damage the car! If it is covered in snow, that means that salt isn't eating it!

As was said before though, having a GT there fluttering it's four eyelids at passers by will get more attention than 2

They most likely just got the GT in and they know it won't stay on the lot very long so no sense of pulling it in the show room. Isn't the average GT only on the lots for something like 2 hours?

umm, you do realize that at some point dealers will have more then one in the winter. It probably just came in and didnt have time to get prepped for display. I'm sure there are also a lot of $50k Expys, Excursions, and SD's outside duking it out in the cold.
