Just watching the new Hawaii 50 and Scott Caan (Danno) is driving the 2011 5.0 mustang in Sterling Grey.

 

From what I've read it's not a 5.0, but a V6 with 5.0 badges and dubbed sound. http://www.mustangblog.com/blog/1045...5-0-or-does-it

 

That doesn't say it is, says it may be.

And just because it's on the internet doesn't make it so.

And, it really doesn't make any difference, you can't tell by looking since they haven't shown the motor.

And it would make more sense that if they couldn't get a real 5.0 in time for the show that they would use a re-badged 2010 4.6, no bumper cover would have to be changed.

 

Also looks to be a base car, has cloth seats.

 

Show me a car on TV without dubbed sound.






I thought it was cool. At least it wasn't a bowtie.

 

Really! ****. This explains so much.







QFT!

 

 

Too bad the show was lame, typical and boring. Just another cop show, just like the gazillion other cop shows on TV.

 

True, but there isn't a gazillion cop shows on TV with Grace Park. But there should be....

Most of those shows have some token hot girl. NCIS has Abby, CSI Miami has two or three hot women, The Mentalist has Amanda Righetti. They're a dime a dozen. Granted they are nice to look at, but the show is still lame and predictable. I don't see it making it past 1 or 2 seasons. It's just like everything else, only in Hawaii, big deal.

 

Well the original show didn't set the bar all that high.

 

But you missed the point. The other shows don't have Grace Park.


But you're right about every show has a hot woman. But they're not a dime a dozen, they cost about half of what you own. Ask Tiger.

 

anyone get a look at the rear headrests?

 

Some of the promos I have seen do have the new Flam-aro as an integral piece. Unfortunately.


Oh and BTW, I'm out there trying to keep this..a 10.

 

 

Better be a Base car as he answered his cell phone a dozen times or so while driving like a mad-man with no seat belts on ... oh wait, that ok as he was only "pretending to drive on a blue screen".

They should be helping promote the SYNC Blue-Tooth hands-free cell phone useage on these shows.

I was hoping for a lot more involvement of the 5.0 in the show.

Only saw the base interior when he kept using his phone (as mentioned above) and they never put it into a "fast car chase" situation.

Disappointing.

 

Thought it was funny the show was sponsored by the new Chevy Cruze and he drives a Mustang.

 

As I recall, the Mustang being put in was a bit last minute. Someone just happened to notice the hype on the 5.0 and said "Cool!" and none could resist the not-so-subtle reference to the title. Guess from the title the car is a bit of a red herring with regards to the plot, as just about anything could have suited for the scenes they had. None else would have been as cool though.

And yeah, it's a 2010 V6 I believe, there weren't any 5.0s in Hawaii when they started shooting.

 

First, I enjoyed the show. Felt production an casting was superior to many, though not all cop shows. Second, the base interior was a total let down. I can't believe with all of the hype and product placement that Ford has done with the sync, that they missed the opportunity to have it on an almost sure fire hit with 5-0 as part of the title.
