Two new V6 SE's in 2008

Two new V6 special-edition Mustangs are slated for model year ’08, as is the return of the infamous Bullitt, Ford officials announced recently.

Interesting note. The article said the GT/CS and the V6 pony package were made to appeal to women.

"Ford already offers two Mustang packages geared toward female buyers: the Mustang GT/California Special and Grabber Orange Pony package for V6 models. Both favor styling upgrades over performance improvements."

Um Yea Hi,
I am not into Grabber orange, and the GT/CS didn't do it for me. What is this 1965?



That's ridiculous.

I think the V6 is a secretary's car, while the GT/CS is more of an administrative assistant's car

Please no hate mail. I'm only kidding. If it came with a spoiler delete I would be more tempted to get a GT/CS myself.

Spoiler delete to me is like cowbell. I gotta have that spoiler delete baby!

Huh... that's news to me. Most of our female Mustang buyers have been getting GT convertibles or GT autos and all of our GT/CS have been sold to men. Wonder where Ford is pulling their demographics from, Bizarro World!?

That would certainly explain a lot of the decisions they make for the Mustang.

Yea, just give me something yellow and sporty to drive. I don't care how many cylinders it has.

Too bad the Bullitt doesn't come in yellow

Article seems to be pretty off... for example:
Ford already offers two Mustang packages geared toward female buyers: the Mustang GT/California Special and Grabber Orange Pony package for V6 models. Both favor styling upgrades over performance improvements.
Well, we know that Pony pkg has GT sway bars and larger tires. That's a performance improvement over plain V6. Also, how's getting a GT becomes "favoring styling upgrade"? If I had more $ I would get that styling improvement
Also an interesting fact:
...V6 Mustangs are expected to appeal more to women buyers than current offerings because 56% of Mustangs equipped with V6 engines are sold to women...
if I remember correctly that's a much lower number than for pre-2005 V6 models. Interesting!
