How in the world is this car (06 mustang) a lil more than 19,000??? blazing fast with phenomenal reviews by most magazines - I was expecting to see 35,000+ for the price range

I kinda agree with him on I was suprised the new stang's are fairly cheap,I ordered a 06 GT fully loaded - the shaker 1000 sound system for under 30.

I guess you look at the fact it is rear wheel drive,not loaded with heated seats and stuff and take into accound Ford as well as alot of US auto makers are in $ trouble,I belive Ford was one of the first to start revamping to compete with over seas auto makers,look at Buick 2006 Lucerne it is trying to compete for the lux market and being under 30 grand and you get everything the euro lux auto's have but cheaper,Well all but GM they are still trying to sell trucks for 50 grand.


I don't know if the US auto makers will be able to pull it off,I am shure if they start getting ahead the Union's will start demading more money and sink the US auto ind againe.

Next year heated seats will be an option, as well as Sirius and a few other things.

Heated seats would be great if you have leather rather then cloth, Esp if you live somewere cold.now if they would add a sunroof I would be happy.
