The only similarity in the interiors of an 80's Mustang and the 2005 Mustang is the placement of the door handle. Everything else is pure 60's Mustang.
by the owner's sure, they have a right to nitpick. but others are called trolls. If i went into the 5.0 forum , and nitpicked their cars to death, I would be booted.itsgreat2bme said:Oh there will still be nit-picking, there will just be alot more facts to back it up. People will always have different opinions on different things (ie: the interior in this case)
That being said, I still can't wait for them to come out!

haha true, very true. We are all just killing time and speculating waiting for the arrival of the 05,Z28x said:Since none of us own a 2005 yet I guess we are all "Trolls"
I expect this forums to become more serious once the '05 is finnaly out. We got nothing to do but BS until Sept.
No but if we could get the admins to make custom titles for each troll. Then we'd know who to ignore. And who to actually discuss things with.HairyCanary said:So we need two sub-forums -- one called "Owners Only" and restricted by the admins to people who present a photo of their window sticker or invoice, and another forum called "Trolls", where everyone else can go to bitch about how much they hate it...

Here's a spy shot of the mustang interior I found a while back. What they ultimately came up with is much better and way more distinctive.Z28x said:From a styling stand point I don't think retro interior was the way to go. Old American interiors arn't know for being great like the extrior designs. I'm sure the quality is way up, but is doesn't look as good as the F-150 IMO. I have not sat in the car yet so I really can't comment of quility or the feel of it. The style of the interior looks ok, but I would have gone with a more modern look, the two tone looks geat though. I can't wait to sit in it and get good feel for it. I'm also excited to see it the back seat is any better than the SN95.

Haha, that'd be a good way to solve the problemSVTdriver said:No but if we could get the admins to make custom titles for each troll. Then we'd know who to ignore. And who to actually discuss things with.
I wouldn't spend too much time debating that -- power is not an option, it's standard. ALL Mustangs will have A/C, AM/FM CD, cruise control, power windows, power locks, etc. It's cheaper for Ford to do that than engineer and offer manual windows & locks for a tiny minority of customers that would go for it.tac3242004 said:I want to keep this car looking as retro as possible, I'm still debating on weather I should get all the power options, I'd rather have a manual window handle, I think it'd top off the interior.
Mr. Jack said:As far I as I am concerned, the last guy on the assembly could take a dump on my dash on my 05 GT and I would like it better than the interior in my 02 GT.
LOL!!! I'm right there with you! But why stop there? Who needs those pesky power door locks, when leaning and contorting across the car to pull up the knob and eventually breaking the console from leaning over it is so much fun? Really takes me back to the good ole days.... And that fancy schmancy Mach stereo thingy has gotta go, please offer an AM-only radio with a tin-can dash speaker. Power mirrors? It would be so much more retro and cool to revert to the old manual passenger side mirror that always vibrated out of adjustment, so you could lean over every other day 5 or 6 tries to get it tuned in, and again, break the console doing it. Lastly, I'd like to have no ignition switch, and a crank handle sticking out the front bumper to start the car with, and a brass horn bolted to the outside of my door with a big squishy rubber bellows that goes "AHH-OOO-GAAAA" when I squeeze it! (Sorry tac3242004, but your severe nostalgia got me off on a tangent I couldn't resist. Crank windows??? Man, I wouldn't go back to those days any more than I would relocate the $hitter in my house to the backyard, or install manual lever pumps at all my sinks for well water).I'd rather have a manual window handle, I think it'd top off the interior.
If he really really wants he could frankenstein something and give himself crank windows. He'd have to cut a little hole in the door panel to put the crank on. But we'd all probably hunt him down and burn him at the stake for doing so, lolHairyCanary said:I wouldn't spend too much time debating that -- power is not an option, it's standard.
