No mention of Recaro seats or a sport seat option. You think that would have been front page with the new interior.

Whut? The current GT500 can be had with a 20" rear wheel setup. Maybe I'm confused about your comment.

Still don't love the wheel options and I hate that the 20s are the ones I like best. I think a great looking set of 19s is in order.

20s on the rear yes. But 20s and larger have drawbacks. For a 550 or higher horsepower car it might not notice, but in a mustang with less power you might.

well for track and the strip, you're definitely right but on the streets the newer mustangs are seemingly built for 20's imho.

Recaro seat option as well as other features I've not seen stated elsewhere yet are mentioned in the "Preview Guide" ...

I love it, I will need to see the front in person, and very jelly of the "1969" tail end I think the back is even more retro then the current model.

*hugs my 2013*
your still a future classic to me, the last of "true" american only mustangs.

Really? Because the folks at Porsche haven't stayed away from 20's due to "performance drawbacks".

I'm betting the expensive tires and expensive light weight wheels might have something to do with that.

I'm liking the tail as well. The front end, not so much. The steering wheel and gauges seem good, but the center console and rounded air vents, ekkk. What's up with the shifter **** btw.

I like mine better. Retro ftw.

Wow! You're the first I think that said the latter!

Either way, the car is polarizing for sure... And fits ford's global plans. In the end, other countries won't care what "muscle car history" (50yrs worth) the mustang has... Just that it looks good NOW.

Someone photoshopped this but yeah kinda. Accord flanks inspired, fusion front, integrated C and D pillar. IDK that is what I see. I think they made a mistake not going with the C and D pillar like this rendition




As opposed to this

You did say it. Quoting yourself doesn't justify your opinion. It's just that, your opinion.
We all have one, some are just better than others.
