You would leave your Mustang all alone in an airport lot?

I jest, I jest...

How I'd love a Mustang that was able to swallow a weekend triathlon's worth of gear for my wife and I (two bikes, duffel bags and assorted gear) like my old Probe GT did with ease or I'd guess a Fox Stang was able to also. Basically having your cake and eating it too -- a no compromise increase in the Stang's utility.

I'm sure some unthinkingly shudder at the thought of sharing a basic design feature, a hatchback, with ricers like a, gasp, Honda Civic. But then, that would argue against four wheels, seats and brakes on a Mustang too...

Is the Honda Civic even available as a hatchback anymore?

Well I USED to with my '98/'05/'06, but since I got the Bullitt for some reason I'm feeling differently. I have a trip coming up in June and this time I actually asked a fellow mustanger to babysit my car. Someone ought to be enjoying that thing when I'm not anyway!! Then there's the battery issue.....

Aside from hatchbacks, what do you think of T-tops being offered in addition to still offering a convertible?

And / Or ...

If they did a hatchback (as an additional body style), shouldn't they offer the hatchback with T-tops?

I don't think I'd want a hatchback, but t-tops would be cool. Not sure how that would look though. Seems to be something a lot of people would want.

Negatory. Only comes in coupe and sedan forms.

I saw a Ford Focus station wagon today. It had the hatchback effect. Not a Mustang by any means but it would be good as a daily driver you could leave at an airport and probably not have to worry about getting stolen and still have plenty of room for large luggage. Probably cheap enough to own as a second car and you could keep the BULLITT under wraps ... (just an idea at least).
