QuoteFrom The Mustang Source:
Information on the 2006 Mustang is slim this early, but I'll post what I have here.
Job 1 (production begins) is slated for August 8, 2005.
There will be a Pony Package available for the V6 which will include:
New rocker panel stripes
Running pony front floor mats
New grille with small fog lamps and classic corral
New lower grille
Pony fender badges
The GT will have optional 18" wheels. These will be the same ones from the 2004 show cars.
Sonic Blue will be replaced with Vista Blue, and Mineral Grey will be replaced with Tungsten Silver. Tungsten was called Titanium when it was featured on the 2004 show cars.
Check out this freaking car, super clean. Awesome colors there. From NYIAS.

So they're switching to a new grill exclusively? I like the current one.
Ooops sorry, now I see its part of a package.
QuoteSo they're switching to a new grill exclusively? I like the current one.
No, that's the one for the Pony Package.

That silver mustang in the middle looks absolutely amazing! The blue interior is also really cool...it looks to be of high quality.

That Tugsten color with the silver stripes is hot. I might've opted for the red seats, not sure. The blue looks cooooooool though. B)
I love this car more every time I see it.

I want one now! Oh well, either this, or a GTO, or an entry-level lux sedan after college for me.
I agree, the silver with the stripes and the blue leather is
very nice.
Those wheels don't quite look like 18s though, do they?

I think they look like 18s...I saw this car at the Auto show, and I really liked it. I think the wheels are great.
The wheels don't look like 18's because the Mustang has huge wheel wells. Nevetheless, if I got that one I think I'd leave those wheels and tires alone. They look good.
I still prefer the GTO, but I have to admit I am warming to the style a bit. I like that blue interior.
QuoteI still prefer the GTO, but I have to admit I am warming to the style a bit. I like that blue interior.
I too like the GTO better (sans the juvenile hood scoops, of course), but since the performance is close, and the Mustang is much cheaper, and already has a large aftermarket, it may end up being the better choice. Unless the GTO gets a sunroof, then it's all over.
Meh to those wheels. OK or good to all else.

I know, I was just mentioning it. And not
all coupes lack rear leg room. The GTO is a prime example of a relatively roomy back seat.

At heart, I'm a convertible person. Since owning a convertible is so impractical, both from a tangible pragmatic standpoint and an economic standpoint (insurance!), a sunroof is the closest thing I can get. Plus, I love the sun or moonlight gleaming in, I love the extra wind, I love the open air feeling. If the car's roof doesn't fold into the trunk, it better have a sunroof, or I won't buy it. Or a targa top, that's another awesome roof.

I still can't figure out how people still feel there isn't much leg room back there. The first time I sat in an '05 Mustang I sat not only in the front but in the back as well, and it was very comfortable. Head room was more of a problem (still wasn't bad though). In fact I'd go as far as to say there's more room in the back seat of the Mustang than there is in the Miata.
Who cares how much leg room their is, it's a Mustang. :rockon:
QuoteWho cares how much leg room their is, it's a Mustang. :rockon:
True, but only one person gets to drive ;) The rest should at least have a comfortable experience being driven.
The space in the back is much better than my '99 GT because, as you can see, theu are scooped out which adds some leg room.
Good for me in a sense, looks like the special blue interior replaces the red leather for 2006...better for resale! B)
I was thinking of the convertible but went with the fastback because:
1. I live in Canada...it can get pretty cold.
2. Wife would bitch about her hair
3. Honestly, it looks too much like a kleenex bos with the top down. Too square looking whereas the fastback has a nice arc leading to the lights.
There is no sunroof in the coupe because Ford feels it will cannibalize convertible sales.
I think that the 18" wheels for 2006 are okay, nothing special but what is funny about that grey show car is I am 99% sure that it is lowered! That is how my car sits now, sure as hell not before.

So you are going to trade it in for a blue leather one? sounds great! :praise:
Hell no...I'm staying put for a little while with this one!

I've never sat in the back of one (I've sat in the front), but I agree that it has more legroom than the previous gen Mustangs. However, I imagine it takes several minutes in the back seat before you start to feel uncomfortable.

I think we misunderstand each other BMW Dave, what I meant was since the red leather won't be available for 2006, it will make the 2005 models more attractive as far as resale, like mine.
the blue is new for 2006 and I think it is replacing the 2005 "red" colour as the special colour of the model year.
I see, I misunderstood you. So they only make red for one year?
QuoteI see, I misunderstood you. So they only make red for one year?
If that's true that sucks. I wanted red leather! :angry:
