Saw my first V6 today. Another dealer nearby now has a silver V6 Premium with similar setup to mine except auto tranny: lt graphite cloth interior, IUP, side airbags, ext appearance group (odd - has the spoiler but not the stripe) traction control with antilocks. My first impression of the cloth interior is that it looks great in this color but the seat seemed a bit hard to me - at least compared to those red leather sport buckets that I've also sat in. The upholstery is not the velour fabric so common for years now - it looks shiny - like nylon or something. Ford has definitely brought us a classy interior. I'm now looking forward to seeing the charcoal colored cloth sometime soon.

Just got a call from my salesman telling me that he just took two V6 coupes off the truck - their first Stangs at this dealership - both are cloth and automatic. And here I am at work!!!!! ARGHHHH Got to get home and check these out!

Ponyman - thanks for the pics! Enjoy your Mustang!

Nice shots, thanks. Anybody have any pics of a parchment cloth interior? I've seen the pics that Ford put out, but I haven't seen any pics of a production parchment cloth interior........

Yeah, I like the look of leather, but here in Texas is doesn't hold up very well in the hot summers. So, I'm probably going to just order it with cloth seats.....
