The new 'Stang's interior definitely looks more upscale, from what little we can tell from these spy pics. IMO, it sure looks a lot better than the Camaro's hokey interior.

 

I don't mind the square vents in the center. It will allow the radio to be positioned up higher in the center stack, which would be a welcome change. Compared to most other current vehicles, the Mustang's radio controls are very low. And with the SYNC integration, touchscreen nav, etc., having that screen higher up is definitely a good thing.

I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing so far... if it has soft-touch upper door panels, I'm sold!

 

I thought the GT was getting a "GT" steering wheel emblem like that billet pony one seen on a prototype a while back. I swear I've seen a round billet metal piece with GT on it. I'm thinking its on the Street Scene orange GT, but that car has a billet faux gas cap. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Any way, so 120MPH/7K RPM is the V6 cluster. The article on jalopnik says all the pics are from the same car, so either it really is a GT with a V6 cluster or the V6 is getting a dual exhaust to go with some sort of appearance package.

 

The exterior pics and video from earlier today had the fog lights back in the grill, I don't see them here so maybe this is a V-6 and not the GT as reported by Jalopolink

 

In the words of the great Ed McMahon, "YOU, are correct sir!!!" A SYNC badge!!!

 

I like it! I like the s197 interior as well. With the camaro around the corner what I have seen so far from GM is hideous. Now, just let us have a 400 hp 5.0 and a six speed and keep the weight down and give me some decent mileage. I dont want much do I?

 

That's right! Forgot about the GT still having the big fog lights. For 09MY, Ford made IUP standard on the Premium V6 and GTs, so more than anything this is probably the Premium V6/GT interior. Now the question is, whats up with the dual exhaust on a V6-looking car?

 

Never getting rid of my 06', I love it way to much. The question for me will be will the new wheel and even controls be able to be fitted onto an older model. My wheel has some nicks and dents in it and that would be a sweet replacement.

 

I still say it will be a miracle if they build the new one with more appeal than the existing.

The new interior is OK. But I miss the round center vents. I also personally thought the interior now was great!! I don't want an audi or focus like interior in my mustang.

 

Looks like they shortened up the handbrake...and leather(like) wrapped it!

 

Also looks like all wipers, washer, turn signals, and high beam are on one stick on left of steering column and not seperated on each side like before.

 

I think it look great, not as cheap and plasticky as the current interior. I'd say its a V6 though, and as far as the dual exhaust, if the new 3.5 is making around 250-275hp it should have dual exhaust. I mean even the Fusion does. Who knows, the duals could be a V6 sport/appearance package? Part of a new pony package? I dunno, just guesses.

 

Likes: Contrast stitching on seats and wheel, the steering wheel, higher quality looking materials.
Dislikes: Carry over huge airbag cover, horrid gauges left over from 1966 (c'mon, a 2010 model year car doesn't need gauges that can't be read), square center vents.

So I guess it isn't an all new interior, it's just got a few trim/material changes, I hope they finally put proper sport seats in this thing as the car is capable of generating far more G-forces than the flat seats can handle.

Does anybody know if any companies like autometer make replacement gauges for the 05-08 cars?

 

Agree

Don't get it. If I can clearly read "120" in this grainy spy pic from outside the car, what makes you think you can't read it in the driver's seat?

And I still don't get the objection to the 1967-style square vents. I had a 1967, and my nephew has a 2006 GT, which always reminded me of my neighbor's MKZ.

current Mustang:



MKZ has same vents on metal trim plates, even double "hump" dash. Too similar:




I prefer the new style round and square vents, like my old '67:


Looks as new to me as the exterior. The location of stuff is in the same spot, but its all-new, better quality stuff.

 

WOW! I LOVE the new interior. Audio controls, improved steering wheel, contrast stitching, more shiny things, room for bigger better nav and overall higher quality looks. Its a winner in my book. Best yet! Now if they would bring back Screaming Yellow in a Boss or Mach, it's mine mine mine!!!

 

Looks like the running pony on the stearing wheel. The one thats on the front of our cars.

 

it has to be a v6 but im loving the interior looks great

 

It also looks as though the bottom of the dash, near the knees, is higher up in the new interior.

 

 

I love the chrome on the speakers in the front door. I wish some after market company would make a chrome or satin replacement cover for the 2005-09s like they do for the shifter bezel.
