Its not bashing, it your opinion that youre entitled to. I love the C6 vette, but Ive always been a Mustang guy.
Thats the American way, you either grow up a 'stang or a 'vette guy.........oh and then there those weird MOPAR guys..J/K

I love both the stangs' and the vettes, and even the mopars too! I just love cars period, I'm stoked to see Ford getting back into the mix, for a while it was lame watching dodge build all the cool stuff, now the z06 is coming, and there is lots of cool other stuff on the horizon, great time to be a car lover

I drove to many Fords to even consider the Mustang. I plan and simple have BAD luck with Fords. Even when their not mine, I just have to ride in one to get it to break down.

I hear you on Fords, but this engine/drivetrain is frickin' bulletproof.

I owned a 02 Mustang GT 2 cars ago. It was the car of my dreams...up until I owned it. Within 1200 miles the car was in the shop for over 30 days. The first time it was in was to fix the transmission because it was grinding going into 2nd gear (I was without the car for 28 days). The second time it was in was to get a totally new transmission. When I dropped it off at the dealership the car lackey--ahem jockey--crashed my car into the outside wall of the maintenance bay. Completely buckled the hood, broke the headlights and the front bumper.
On to the new mustang...they look awesome. I wanted one as soon as they revealed their new design. Then I sat in one at the car show. The interior was cheap. The dash looked less inviting than the earlier versions and the speakers sticking out of the door looked like some highschooler upgraded it. I wasn't impressed.
I think I'll stick with my 51% Ford owned RX-8. This is about as close to Ford as I can stomach.

Browsing around the Ford Media site....
http://media.ford.com/newsroom/featu...?release=20267
They're introducing a dark grey with lighter stripes for the '06 Ford GT... yummy.

Yeah but from what I understand, Ford keeps their grubby bean-counting mitts completely off the Miata and RX cars.
I wish GM would buy Mazda from Ford, heh. Mazda could teach them how to make quality, lightweight roadsters and coupes, and GM could maybe help Mazda in the HP department.

Freedom Costs a Buck o' 5
I would only buy one of the special edition mustangs, like the Cobra or Saleen, because they are the only way that you will ever stand out among all the other Mustangs. However, I would only buy if they made a dramatically more attractive aftermarket rear end for it. The stock one would prevent me from buying at almost any price.
:D
