I'm pretty sure 2010+ cars already have #2.

Tilt & telescoping wheel would be nice for the Mustang.

I also want to see HIDs as an option for the new Fusion. It has projectors, now it needs HIDs.

And the dead pedal is built into the inside tub to the left of the clutch. Very comfy.

I'm going to go along with a larger paw print. You need at least 305s to properly launch with 400+ ponies. It's absolutely ridiculous not to have larger rubber on the rear (insert your own dirty joke here)!!!

Next Gen Mustang Gauges

Continue with the MyFord Touch with the controls on the steering wheel (Focus/Edge)
The left display, which is controlled by the left five-way controller, features information and settings for the vehicle: fuel economy, mechanical status, safety features.
The right display, controlled by the right five-way controller, contains infotainment information: audio settings, climate control, phone communications and navigation menus

The main dash would be virtual and customizable by the driver...6 guages configured by the user...Adjustable speedo/tach (left or right...minimize/maximize sizes) etc...

Like the Jag XJ...

I like the idea TN, but I think I'd prefer something more like the Lexus LF-A myself.

Yeah! I guess the top level CAD assembly did not include the manual in its puffy zipper folio.

I says more colors. Specifically Emberglo.

And 8 colors? Wow. Way to bowl me over, Ford.

2 reds, 2 blues, and 4 grays. How... boring.

Yes, the CAD GT includes US-Premium, IUP, heated leather, SAT shaker and SYNC but even if you option up a sixer, the difference is still $8000. The tranny is the same; the good gears, wheels, tires, security and HID's are $$$ options on both models. I'll give you $3000 for the motor option and the 5.0 badge (even though the difference in manufacturing costs is likely less than $1000)

The Mustang GT is overpriced by $5000 in Canada.

Ford Family Pricing, a July-??? promo is actually very good. I got my 5.0 (with everything listed above, plus the brembo pkg [$1,700] and 3.73's [$500]) for $35,099 CAD or $33,186.75 USD

Even though the Coyote is made in Windsor ON, we Canadians will always get screwed. That's how she goes.

Plus one million. I just dont buy into Fords excuse that people freak out if the gauges move back and forth a bit. Tell GM that. They still have functional gauges that work very well. I know because I have a Gm truck. They have also saved me a time or two because they really do work and you dont have to wait for a friggen idiot light to come on!!!!!
