I need to submit a suggestion related to my biggest pet peeve with the Mustang. The stupid trunk wart satellite radio antenna that violates the trunk on every premium package Mustang, whether you want satellite radio or not (I do not).
Other suggestions would be to go back to the way a base GT could be optioned back in 2005-06. You could get early S197's with cloth interior and add the IUP and lots of other options, but the 2011 base GT has practically no options available, if you want cloth seats, you're stuck with the cheap steering wheel and lot of other base stuff with no chance to upgrade (from the factory).

TOTALLY agree with you on that one, i hate that satellite wart on the trunk. They're must have been a way to put it somewhere else. On my 2009 Escape, it's sitting a top the roof on the passenger side close to the sunroof. Man does that thing look ugly, especially on light color cars. Glad i'm getting Sterling grey.

My other idea would be that the Mustang, and all future vehicles, need some type of integrated antenna to avoid having "warts" on the cars. Roll it into the rear glass for the AM/FM or create a small, painted fin for everything to be housed under for better aesthetics.

They need to make all options which are available on the premium model also available on base models. Make it so the customer can get the most go for the least possible dough by allowing a pass on expensive features best appreciated in cars designed to be soft from the start.

Having stand alone options on every trim level increases production costs and lead time. I wish for the option to order a car like that, but I understand their reasoning. Now not having a spare tire on the V6 cars is just dumb. And the antenna is just being cheap. They could have integrated it into the windshield. Obviously they wouldn't do a shark fin style because of the convertible, but hell BMW does it.

One thing Ford just did was get away from that. They've streamlined their options and made cars much easier to buy, allowing less combinations of parts and reducing product mix. I wouldn't want to see that again, since now you would just move up to a higher trim level and get most of the optional equipment std.

Seeing as we drive our Mustangs:
1 Where's a dead pedal? Hello Ford! Are you listening?
2 An inside trunk release!
3 Tilt AND TELE steering wheel!
4 Could you paint the rear axle? I know a lot of people call it ancient technology that's been around since the wheel, but does it have to look as old?
