Flappy paddles and Recaro answers lie within....

 

Other notable new for Mustang features in this Preview Guide I've not seen mentioned anywhere else ...


Telescopic steering column
Drivers Seat with Memory
(Heated) and COOLED Front Seats
Adaptive Cruise Control
Rain Sensing Wipers
"Individual" TPMS (vs. current "TIRE LOW" ... you then pull over, get out of car with tire gauge so you can find which one, and how low it actually is)

The Non-Shelby $50,000 Mustang has arrived. And that is not a good thing.

 

First you don't know the actual price yet. Second those are options, if you don't like them don't buy then. Third the Non-Shelby $50,000 Mustang has arrived…if you want to :-)

 

One thing I don't see mentioned is Heads Up Display. But I did notice in one of the pics looking down on the dash, what looked to be a HUD window?

Still no mention of Glass Roof or sunroof option...nor interior colors.

 

Is there a list yet of what colors will be available?

 

You can see those here...

You will have to navigate down the page to find it.

Also has a nice feature that allows you to change the colors of the car and rotate it.

 

Hey thanks very cool!

Well, I just got our 2014 GT a few months ago so it will be awhile before I change up. And it's in Grabber Blue which I see they aren't making anymore, so will hold on to this for awhile!

But I think they did a cool job in general, though I'm not crazy about the headlights. Still, I thought it would look much more different than it does to what we already have.

 

In a few years when the 5.0 gets closer to 500hp, I'll be an owner. I really like the availability of all the new "luxury" options !! However it sure looks like the car is getting more Euro, which I guess doesn't bother me. Scott

 

Yep I know what you mean

We had minor accident with our 5.0. Wife drove into what looked like an exit from a parking lot that turned out NOT to be an exit, it was some kind of very wide pedestrian walkway, and the car ended up scraping the bottom and bending a rod in the back. It's in the shop, they say all minor stuff underneath, should get it back Monday. In the MEANTIME>.........Geico pays 50 a day for rentals so we rented a big old Lincoln Navigator....which is 55.00 a day.

Hey....never complain about gas mileage in the 5.0 again...this thing needs gas every ten minutes lol. BUT....driving around this week with that kind of luxury has been a real treat. Our 5.0 is bare bones....no options except the 3.73 rear so having a navigation system, leather seats, Cirrus radio....oh my. No wonder these costs so much!

So in short, yeah next time I'll save a little more and get a Mustang with more options!

That looks like the quasi HUD included with adaptive cruise and front collision warning. It's the front collision warning part. If the car's radar senses you are closing in on a car too quickly it will sound an alarm and flash a line of red LEDs on the windshield.

In our Explorer it works pretty well though its a bit too sensitive for my taste in the normal setting, but you can adjust the sensitivity. It just isn't my daily driver so I don't mess with the settings.

 

Yes it is. This whole car is moving upscale. If you want a 25k performance car with all the bells and whistles, buy a Fiesta ST.

 

That was my point entirely. I remember when the SVO was introduced in 1983..we couldn't believe a Stang could cost $13,000.
And it looks like my next ride will be a Fiesta ST. Unless I can catch a 'closeout' '14 Mustang, that is.

 

Yeah, I've been wondering about those things, too. I positively love my glass roof, so I'm hoping that it will still be an option on the next generation.

 

Sadly, in all this hype I'm very realistic. I doubt I'll be able to afford one. As long as I'm supporting an ex who doesn't want to work. I love the law.

 

Also, disappointed with a) the HIDs no longer being standard and b) Ford not switching to standard LED headlamps and fogs. They have LED fogs but halogen headlamps standard?

The MKZ has LEDs standard, and so do the **** Corolla and Avalon. HIDs are being phased out due to the cost of replacement bulbs and/or ballasts. The LEDs also use less power and allow for all kinds of crazy headlamp designs.

 

Probably better to say the under 30k Mustang V8 Mustang has died. Instead of people saying they got a base GT with incentives under 30k your more likely to hear base GT with incentives under 35k.


Affordable muscle is a victim of a good many things from stagnant wages, to money devaluation to longer term auto loans (I've read in some cases up to 144 months) to our demand for a higher level of base equipment to Ford making an effort to increase the value of its cars by asking higher price points.


Certainly a situation where you have to be careful what you wish for.

 

Why were the order codes taken down? Does Ford have something on there we are not supposed to see?

 

Yes, there was a shelby model listed. Body code "P8J". They are still available at mustang6g however.
