Buy her car then buy your car problem solved. Works so far in my relationship for the last 12 years.
On another note (zips flame suit) some of the responses crack me up. You knock any thing about the Camaro's interior or more notably the rear visibility (which most owners claim to "get used too"). Responses ran like "you spend most of your time on the inside" etc and citing it as the number one reason to deject it yet turn around here and slam someone who doesn't like the position of something that for the most part is going to be an uncomfortable problem the whole time they are in the car. So something that you can "get over" is an instant turn off or proof of garbage on one, yet a point for ridicule for even mentioning on another or to go so far as labeling them a troll? This doesn't sound like a troll thread to me just someone disappointed because he wanted and she didn't. If she's the passenger more than likely most of the time her head will be on the headrest.
We all accept some quirks for a something we really like but some people don't care about cars like we do and are more interested in ancedotal things to us like headrests.

They were different but not anymore, now any passenger seat in the car has to have the same protection, Ford just designed them poorly in '05 and never changed them.
Edit.. p.s. sorry for Blah-ing you

I didnt read the whole thread but it would be impossible for her to be concerned with the headrest if her face is in your lap like its supposed to be. lol

Thank you everybody for your kind reply and suggestions.
I did try to set the head rest at different notch, move seat back and forth, tilt the back to different angle...etc. But just can't find a good position for her. I guess the reason might be her height, 4'11''. At that height, when I set the seat good for her neck, she can't reach steering wheel or paddles comfortably. As for me, I can notice it also but I heard of that before and don't care too much.
So, as suggested by David, we are going to find her a user car/cuv she likes first, then buy me MY stang a few months later which would be dedicated MY car. This is a good compromise to me. After a few months (at most 6-7 months), I would get a job2 stang with more options and tiny bug fixed or even reach for a rumorred 2012 stang. Not bad at all.
BTW, I confirmed two things today.
1. there is no spare tire for v6 stangs, only the mobility kit.
2. the 500 rebate is still available even it doesn't show in ford website.
Cheers

Safety Safety Safety.. Blah Blah Blah.. so you're saying that the rear headrests that conform to new 2011 safety regulation are no good and will give you whiplash because they don't lean forward like the front ('05+) do??? There's no reason for the front ones to be so far forward.
