Interesting quote from the press release: "Ford has committed that almost 100 percent of its transmissions will be advanced six-speed gearboxes by 2013."

Looks like the Mustang will finally get a 6-speed. I hope Ford will still offer a manual transmission when they completely switch to "advanced" 6-speed gearboxes.

This again would be a step in the right direction!

From the report it sounds like Ford is really trying to remake themselves more inline w/ foreign car companies that put a lot of good tech into relatively inexpensive cars. Seems like this could be a very good thing for them.

It could be good, as long as they are smart enought to remeber that some of us "car buyers" want to be able to shift when we want and keep a manel transmision.

No way is Ford stupid enough to drop the true manual from a lineup just because they have a dual-clutch unit coming.

That gives us hope of a standard 6-speed trans in GT's!

Sadly, the camaro had this 11 years ago (and counting).

^ Uhh, the F-Bod twins had a 6-sp back in 1992 (93MY) w/ the intro of the LT1 into the lineup...
