I find it interesting that Ford has decided to modernize the original solid axle by changing to an independent rear suspension system.

I actually like the simple GT badge on the rear deck. Much more so than the GT faux gas cap.

One thing I have not found out yet is whether Ford has made any changes on the MT82 transmission or the shifter. That would be a big selling point for me. If anyone has any info on that, please let me know.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's the same unit, but they made some changes to it. Shorter throws and a different linkage maybe?

They will mount the shifter differently and more to the left side. Suppose to shift better.

Uh, read the previous comment to yours.

Not feeling the "GT" on the deck lid.

Anyone know if it has a usable back seat this time?

If you have passengers that are animals, inanimate objects, or people with no legs, then it's usable. Otherwise you have two very beautifully sculpted shelves. It's a 2 door car, you aren't supposed to rely on the back seats all the time. They are there more for the "well you can ride with me but it's gonna be uncomfortable" situations. My Eclipse is the same way. I just have to drive with my knees in my dash because the front seats are scooted up if the back seats must be used. Or if there are only three people in the car, the person in the back lays their legs across both seats.

There is supposed to be an increase in the backseat room dimension slightly over the current car.

Push yourselves away from the table sooner.

There are bunches of us that packed 2 and 3 peeps in the back seat of the 65 2+2 during HS all the time.

I feel the same about the GT badge. It looks simple and non intrusive.
