Here's the thing that's killing Ford the way I see it. The package availability is ridiculous. If I want sat/nav I have to get a Premium with leather. I hate "leather" seats in a car. And yes I've owned higher end cars with real leather and I hate that as much as the fake stuff. Also, killing any option packages on base models AND removing the option packages for auto trans cars. I should be able to get any wheels I want if I need a manual OR auto trans.
Used to be, I could walk in a dealership and go down the list and get only the options I wanted on the car. Being forced into options I really don't care for to get others I want is just plain stupid. And some of the packages are very misleading (
Brembo brakes on the front only, while Camaro gets all 4 standard).
I'm a Ford Die hard. I own a 99 stang, 04 Expedition, 06 Focus, and will be taking delivery of my 11 stang this coming week. But Ford is really screwing things up with these packages that make no sense at all. It brought me this close || to looking at Challengers.
I've owned 3 of them all bought new. I too was very disappointed with the way Ford did things with the '11. 
I wanted the Candy Red paint but couldn't get it with redbrick interior. Now what kinda 
is that, since one has nothing to do with the other. If you got the pedestal spoiler you had to get that fake hood scoop. crapola I heard later they changed that but why set it up that way in the first place. What really burned my 
was not being able to get sub woofer with the NAV. Speaking of the NAV system, I have a Tom Tom unit that I can use anywhere on the planet that cost me $400.00. The Nav in the car is over 2k and only good in the USA. 
I considered the Challenger also but would have to throw away all my Mustang t-shirts and hats. 
C'mon Ford stop pulling my
