honestly i wish it only had two seats. it is more "personal" if you all know what i mean.... when your driving alone you are one with the car and do not feel empty when you look in back. when youre with someone the car seems full, but still just as responsive.



unless u got a family 4 seaters are overrated to me
I just wouldn't like a mustang with two seats.. it's like they're trying to move in on totally different territory.. mine.. Having 2 seats is also great for excuses.. "sorry.. I can't fit but one person.." :smirk:

haha you made a great point with the new territory, theyll be competiting with another ford car that costs a little bit more (t-bird of course)... they will make the interior more plasticey. i dont believe the mustang (new or old ) should be considered a sports car though because it has 4 seats.



a great thing with the fd is when your friend sees you at a local restraunt and needs a ride when your about to go home with your girl ( hes going to "****-block" you, you just say hell only two seats! and no trunk!)...



gotta love that



with the stang, id love to see what kind of crap wheels they put up with the v-6 variant

thats pretty and all, but i doubt that it will come out like that when it comes out at 2005 (the earliest) remember how the rxevolve looked like before it was rx8.........

ford sticks close to its concepts though. t-bird... all parts including most molding techniques are already in their parts bin ( half and half fog lamps from the am db7 etc etc... interior by lincoln ls as usual. they will change the hood scoops to non functional ( so they do not need to produce a radically new intake for the existing mustang engine. ) wheels and some interior bits will change the most. plan on seeing a lot of ford dials and switches from the new taurus in it, but different color. all brushed aluminum will be done away with for the v-6 model as well...



rxevolve was a design study to see public awareness of that type of auto with a certian type of styling techniques.



bmw concept with "flame surfacing" is now the z4 etc etc.

I guess the old school style worked with the thunderbird, so they are going to try it with the stang. I like it, I dunno what it will look like when it hits the floor, but it is pretty cool. Only downside is there will prolly be 2 million of them on the road within the first model year.

according to my economics teacher............ the mustang stayed in the market was because most of the new car buyers are girls and they prefer mustangs over F Bodies........... hence, mustangs are bitch cars





its very nice though......hehe

The mustang has always marketed toward women.
