I don't see what's so ugly about the interior. I think it's perfect. The mustang and challenger need alot of work. All of those ricer cars I sat in were extremely uncomfortable and akward.

Only this time they're probably redundant, I'm sure all of the info they display will be available on the DIC between the speed/tach

I like the interior looks better than my 71 catalina.

I know that everyone has their own opinion but personally I like the interior. A nice mix of retro and futuristic components. I am more interested in the seat comfort and ergonomics of the interior and not having sat in one reserve my opinion on that. The overall look I feel is clean and thought provoking, look at the discussions here. I sat in the Mustang at the LA car show and was not impressed with the interior and the ergonomics and absolutely hated the door speakers, looked like cheap 1960 aftermarkets, for those reasons along with all the other positives about this car is why I am buying a Camaro rather than a Mustang.

It really sucks too because you can't beat the powertrain on the SS, even if it is a little heavy it should be an awesome ride, probably somewhere between a vette no/z51 and a cts-v. (which would be perfect for my DD needs)

But i just can't stop ogling over the new mustang interior, i wouldn't have designed it any different myself. I love the dash how it comes down a bit in the middle. I love how less shortened the "tubes" that the rpm and speed gauges are, and the simplicity everywhere else. The only thing i would have changed is the power outlet location.

And to top it off Microsoft SYNC w/NAV man I would love that have that kind of technology in my next sports car!!!

It's the only reason i am consider the car even though it won't be any faster than my current 01 SS and i am gonna miss that 6th gear and low end torque, but i never go to the track and hardly ever road race.

My opinion just from the pictures since I haven't seen one yet for real is that the solid black interiors are too plain looking and boring, that is the reason I changed mine from black to Gray, the gray contrasting in the door panels and dash set it off better. The bright colors of the Special order interiors to me are too Ricey... The guages to me are good in all of them, the radio and heater controls and nice, the seats look great to me.
I will know more when we get ours in about 2 months...

Looks to me the Mustang V6 dash looks no better than the Camaro LS you sat in.
in fact the radio looks like it came from K-mart, the heater controls are about as ugly as you can get, no imagination went into this layout or design.

That's the '05-'09 Mustang interior. 2010 is a different story.

Ject · 02-02-2009, 08:00 PM

I do have to say the mustang interior is better looking then the older.. but eh not my style. Not bashing it though.. just not my style.

Glad they changed it for 2010, I recognize a lot of those gauges and HVAC/radio controls from my 04 Focus - the Mustang deserves better.

My word has it changed. I'm not crazy about it still, but its way better than sitting inside the concept's fur wearing, medalion wearing ghetto pimpy living room!

THEN

NOW

the only thing i wish they would have carried over from the concept to the production is the shifter and the pedals other than that everything was improved

If the 3rd graders at Ford can get ambiant lighting to work like this in the Mustang, then im sure the people at GM can get an even simpler design to work!

Supermans · 02-03-2009, 04:37 AM

I personally love the interior. Yes, I'm all into the retro look as well.. The ambient lighting though is what is going to stand this one apart from the rest and wow your friends at night at least once.. Until they get used to it....
