This is my only complaint with the 2010 & 2011 cars. Everything else is great, although I don't like the dash and gauges in the new cars versus the 05-09 body style.

drive train... hands down... 2011's rule.

so ...is the extra power worth the less than desirable looks? seems to me, if ford would have put the 2011 drive train in the 2005-09 mustang, they could have made em that way for 20 years and had strong sells.
Maybe the 2011 drive train with minor changes to the 05-09 body and it would have been a strong seller for years to come. Although, the public always wants to buy new and different, so hence the massive body change.

The only reason I jumped on this, as another poster commented, was BECAUSE it looked more Japanese/European inside, and not the typical boring, ugly mustang interior.

Good job Ford! I don't think I've laid out a better 40k in my life.
Fixed. And I agree.

You should be able to manually disable OD for the auto.

The people that see it after you pass then probably don't like it either.

I like the new interior, but like you said I dont like the vents. Rather I dont like the mixing of the vents. I dont like how the sides use a circle, the gauges are circles, but the middle vents are rectangles. I realize they were continuing with the rectangular theme of the center of the dash, but the drastic change from circles to squares really irks me for some reason. Dont get me wrong, I would never NOT buy one for this reason, I just feel like they should have done something different

And for you guys who dislike this bodystyle, I dont think it will be better in '14. I hope it will, but I just dont think Ford will make a better looking car. Hopefully Im wrong

Go drive on in california traffic, while trying to change the AC, Temp, radio station or volume, the circles **** are great. I love how they stand out from the rest of everything thats rectangular because it makes it alot easy to navigate your hand on there without taking your eyes off the road.

+1 to ford on this interior change =)

This is by far one of the dumbest things i have ever read on this forums. I definitely feel like your a moron. No company could ever have a car (without exterior and interior changes) sell STRONGLY for 20 years. Hint why every single model of every single car changes every couple years. Everybody wants change, and everybody embraces change, the ones who don't look like jackasses and stubborn little kids

I try not to jump in these threads real often, but I can't help it this time. When you are going to go through the effort of typing out an entire sentence to profess your opinion that he's a moron, you should try to take out an extra second to not nullify your entire argument by using moronic grammar. It's you're, not your. Moron.

When the entirety of your communication is made via typing, how well you type becomes important - especially when you're insulting the intelligence of others.

I was insulting his car/salesmen knowledge not his knowledge of grammar =)
