93 teal terror said:You are definatly in the minority.....it draws crowds at shows like no other mustang has. I think they will have a hard time keeping them on the lots. Especially if they keep the price within 2-300 on all levels like HTT's boss said. The 2004's are a joke compared to the 2005's.....even if you dont like the looks of them, all the other features far out weigh the looks. It's good that some people don't like it, otherwise they wouldn't be able to make enough of them.
Meh, what you say is a half truth, and could easily be broken up by a series of comments.
First: Possible... the new '05s may draw a crowd. Good! I'm happy for it. But you can neither prove nor disprove that statement. So really, that didn't count for anything.
Second: In terms of stats, you're right. From what i've read and seen, and as well it should, the new 05' gt will out perform the '04 gt... as the '99 gt out did its '93. That is how evolution works... it would only make logical sense to increase preformance on a standard sports car... the vette, viper, ferrari... i mean come on, they all improve throughout the years. But again, now I ask does mere performance sell a car?
No.
It's the whole package that gets the crowd. Something that's marketable for everyone. Ask Mitsubishi... or Toyota... ask them why they discontinued twin turbo vehicles right off the press...
regardless... overall selling will obviously remain to be seen. Just don't fog over in your mind the fact that even Mustang enthusiasts don't like the new models.
