this sux, dang it just release the darn 5.0 already!!! geez!

 

What I want to know is how many of you waiting for the 5.0 in 2011 will end up waiting until 2012 if it doesn't have DI right off the bat?

 

That is a valid question.

To me the 2010 is a failure because it does not have a new motor to go with the new styling, that and the car has an *** that is ugly as hell.
But if the new 5.0 comes out without direct injection from the start then it is a failure as well.
This is 2009, there is no reason that a new engine should be anything other then DI; it is better for fuel economy and pollution.
And before any of you chime in and say “I didn’t buy a mustang to be concerned with fuel economy”, that is a load of crap.
There is no reason why a modern muscle can’t be as economical and pollution friendly as possible.

 

Those two things were also true in 1994. Do you consider that car a failure?

 

Well...
The car was not a failure, but I really didn't like the car that much until the New Edge came out.

 

Ditto

 

100% waiting !! I want the 5.0 !! That's what mustang is all about!!!
I think Ford should of went with the 5.0 right away. They need all the sales they can get with this economy. I think they will be dissapointed with new mustang sales this year JMO
06 mustang will be paid off also!!!

 

A failure would be it not suceeding.
That is yet to be determined.

You just don't like it for your own reasons.

 

i love all mustangs, and i have never ever considered any of them to be failures.
no matter however it looks or performs i will always love this car. Never will be a failure In my opinion

 

no matter old or new, its all fun for me.

 

waiting. the visual changes are cool and all but i need...ok i want...a 5.0 under the hood.

 

Of course these are my opinions.
If the car is a total failure you won't see it anymore.
It is true I do not like the car for many reason, but I also like it for many reasons.
IMO the car is a flop for not having the new engines in the design refresh, it just does not make any sense at all.

 

I also consider myself a fan of all Mustangs, but when it comes to the Mustang II, the only thing I like about it is the fact that it kept the Mustang name alive and kicking for those rough years. I can only be thankful that 1974 wasn't the end of the Mustang, even if it was less than desireable that year. From 1979 to 2009, I can honestly say that there wasn't a Mustang that I didn't like. Sadly, I can't say that anymore once the 2009 model year is finished.

 

The only way I see that the 5.0 could be a failure would be if they introduce a new limited edition color for the 2011 GT called Vanilla Ice.

 

i agree, but part of me thinks it might be a nice color

 

So, who else is waiting till 2011 for a possible 5.0? Who rather wait with zzcoop for a 2011 vanilla ice limited edition with an autographed cd?

 

I just priced a 2010 gt premium out with my options and wow is it a big price tag for this car. $38,115 plus tax and what ever other garbage they add in, i will be in the 40k range. Wonder what the price tag would be if i wait for the 5.0 plus whatever features will be offered then.

 

It will definitely be more than a 2010 just to take into account inflation.

 

i would love to wait but i just cant see my self waiting until 11/12 depending if DFI comes out in 2012. Worst comes to worst ill just sell whatever i wind up with for a 2012 DFI 5.0

 

Then you price out a base 2010 GT deluxe instead, starting at under $27k. Problem solved !
