Title: '06 Ford Mustang Facelift
Post by: autom?vel on July 15, 2005, 01:14:14 PM
Here's the link with the Ranger facelift, etc. (http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18820)  I figure most of you have seen this off C&D already, but I can't get enough of the Ford Mustang.

I asked this on C/D, but no one answered: is this an all-Mustang facelift, or a new grille that comes as part of the new Pony Package?

It is probably just the pony package grill. Either way it looks nice.

You're right, it's just the Pony package.  I saw it on C&D and jumped the gun without verifying what was said.  Here's a link (http://www.mustangheaven.com/stangspecs/2006mustang/06mustang_main.htm) with more about it.  The GT just gets a few new options like 18" wheels.

The Ranger looks facelifted alright. 1996 (or perhaps even 1986 :o ) meets 2006. They really need to re-do it soon. They're losing market-share.

I read over at themustangsource.com that it is just for the pony package, and if you look closely at the bottom just below the doors it is plastic, a characteristic of V6's.

Smaller driving lights and a chrome ring around the logo.

The bumper is a bit different than the GT, as well. It looks like it's a V6 bumper.

I'll bet it's a "make the V6 model look faster" kind of package.

I think the new grille looks alot better, but is the pony package only avalable for the v6?

That's right.

For 2006, Ford debuts the new "Pony Package" on V-6 coupe and convertible "Premium" models. At a Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $1,195, the Mustang V-6 "Pony Package" offers tremendous performance value, adding the following equipment:
Customized "Pony" grille encompassing GT-model-like round fog lamps and a chrome bezel around the traditional Mustang prancing horse
GT-inspired suspension featuring a larger front stabilizer bar, the addition of a rear stabilizer bar and P235/55ZR 17-inch tires on painted cast aluminum wheels with bright machined rims and unique tri-bar Pony center caps ? the largest wheels and tires ever fitted to a V-6 Mustang
Pony front fender badges, lower door tape stripe and carpeted front floor mats with special brushed chrome "Mustang" logos and a rear spoiler
4-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control
Customers also can continue to customize the interior of both the Mustang V-6 and GT models with an Interior Upgrade Package, Interior Sport Appearance Package and the Interior Color Enhancement Package.

They should use the smaller lights on the GT as well.

I agree.  The whole front end looks better.
