I guess they should have allowed Canada more than the measly 700 that they were alloted. If they were building 7700 for the run and noticed it wasnt selling enough, they could have offered Canada more, then there wouldnt have had to be a 2009 Bullitt.

 

Unfortunately, Canada is not the broader market for this car. Ford will have a tough enough time selling the 700 they were originally alotted. Canada is big in space but small in sales. A dealer near me has two HG Bullitts sitting on their lot with minimal interest. My guess is they'll be there for quite some time. I think Ford is doing all it can just to sell the original 7700 units however they can. As much as I like the Bullitt, many others don't find it too appealing.

 

i don't have any skin this game but i do love the mustang..needed 4 doors...anyway, i see the bullitt as simply another option package; one HELL of an option package, but none the less, that's what it is to me. the fact that ford will offer the package in 09 is good news and as far as the bullitt not meeting sales expectations, well, regular gas in my neck of the woods is selling for 4.45/gallon plus another .25/gallon for premium. how many v8 engined cars do you think ford is selling at this point in time?

ps: i should add that other than the fuel management being recalibrated for premium, the bullitt is a homerun. i love the sleeper look and the machined turned dash. this would be the mustang i would most consider buying.

 

Just an FYI - you can run regular OR premium in the bullitt

 

As I keep saying, I cant believe they skipped the premier trim option yet again. After having it in the 07, the standard dash/armrests drive me friggin nuts. If the 2010 doesn't have any major performance improvement, I'll order a DHG 09 at the last minute.

 

Yeah I'd have to agree with that. I really wanted the premier trim in my next mustang, which turned out to be a Bullitt, so no go

 

It makes no sense to me to run 7700 Bullitts in 08 ,just to run another batch of Bullitts in 09! I kind of takes the wind out of the sails!

 

Those who have their Bullitts should unite and sign a petition asking Ford to stop production at once.

 

Well, at least the orders stop next week, with production ending sometime in mid-June.

 

No.

Those who have their Bullitts should unite and sign a petition asking Ford to send them the $1500 rebate that was in effect prior to 1 April at once.

 

Yeah, Good Luck with that...

 

no kidding

 

GM is building the new Camaro in Jan 09 and calling it a 2010 so Ford is doing the same with its facelifted Mustang. The cars are direct competitors and Ford didnt want to produce an 09 model Mustang into the summer of 09 if Chevy was producing a 2010 model during the same time frame. Rumors have it that the 2010 V8 Mustang power will be upped to 350-360hp range.

 

That makes sense with the timing of the build, however Lutz has stated the Camaro isn't in competition with the Mustang, GM has positioned it in a category above the mustang, which most likely translates into the Camaro will be priced higher than the Mustang.

Traditional Camaro buyers will see things differently obviously, and probably still pay the price.

 

People on the CamaroZ28.com board have been told by a GM exec. that the "premium" price Lutz has mentioned for the Camaro over the Mustang could be as little as $300. Make no mistake, the Mustang is the bullseye for Camaro Team. The Camaro will have IRS and OnStar standard. The V6 will be 300hp DI 3.6 from the Caddy. The base V8 will be 400-425 hp LS3 from the Corvette. GM realizes they cant price it equal to the same Mustang model with the added standard content. GM will wait to release the pricing after Ford prices the freshened/more powerful 2010 Mustang lineup.

 

Speculation abounds.

I doubt GM is going to wait for Ford's 2010 pricing announcement to price the Camaro, but they're pretty desperate so you never know

We'll know about it all for real soon enough

 

I thought Sonic Blue was a 1 year only color too.

 

It was in 2005 only and Screaming Yellow too.

 

Screaming Yellow was both 05 and 06. Mineral Gray and Sonic were the only 1 year colors, Mineral Gray was replaced by Tungsten in 06, and Sonic was replaced by Vista Blue. Legend Lime and Screaming Yellow went for 2 years, getting retired for the 07 model year.

 

What I hear one old blue and green , orange is coming back in mid model in 09 in next SE model.
