They should cut the V6 out of the lineup.

It most likely will be. The only reason it was kept was to maintain the low cost of entry and to placate the rental companies. I'm sure Ford is paying extra close attention to how many EB's the rental places are picking up. If the number is high enough, I can see the V6 leaving before the first MCE.

I have to say I haven't been a fan of the new GT, but a local dealer has a new base GT with the Performance Package listed at $30,750.00, it's the orange with the black wheels and it looks sharp. It's also alot of car for only $30,750.00. My car buying head is spinning, 03/04 Cobra, ScatPack, Boss, 5.0, 1LE....it's enough to give you a headache

they look better in person than in photors. Galpin Ford in Socal has many 2015 Mustangs. They do their own light or radical customization....the ones with the rear spoiler and after-market wheels with wider tires look good.

The 2015 looks better than the previous. I will admit seeing the stang from behind reminds me of an audi somewhat.

Took a GT for a test drive while at the dealership the other day. Very smooth ride. Felt much quicker and more nimble than my SS. Ford did good.

I was just messing with the guy. The salesguy didn't say anything about it being turbocharged, haha.

That's an insane price for it!!! If it was the manual, I would probably snap it up.

The base GT is 32k.

I was talking to my cousin yesterday who lives in nj about our upcoming vacation. We started talking cars and he said he was at his local ford dealership looking at escapes and was shooting the breeze with the salesman while checking out the mustangs. He said just about everyone that gets a gt is buying a roush supercharger from them and having it installed at the dealer. They work it into the price and it comes out to like another 80 bucks a month or something. Like 600 horsepower for an extra 80 bucks a month sounds irresistable. They do it to the raptors too

The devil is in the details. After talking to them a bit more there is a destination charge of $755.00 not included in the advertised price, another $500.00 college discount if you aren't a student, and also $500.00 admin fees. So the advertised price is deceiving. Still a fair price for a GT with PP though.

Thinking it over is this the car I want to make payments on for the next several years, I don't think so.

I actually really like the look. They look mean in black that's for sure.

I MAY or may not have embarrassed one the other night.
