Two other things, since you are hoping Ford is listening:
Ford, for the love of true driving enthusiasts, get the speedo and tachometer front and center in the gauge cluster. They are too far apart and get partially blocked by the steering wheel.
Forget throwback at this point, get the tach and speed close together, and more centered in view between the steering wheel opening.
And while on Steering wheel, get a new one. The big airbag center circle is too large and looks weird, and the spokes that come out from them and attach to the actual wheel itself have no thumb indents.
You are making a more dedicated "driver's" car, so for the love of Pete, make the thing that drivers use to drive (the steering wheel) comfortable and functional to maximize driving pleasure (see BMW's steering wheels, specifically the M Sport steering wheel).
You can give that steering wheel a bit of the "throw back" look if you want. Thanks.
