I was going to pull the trigger on a 2018 Mustang GT in a few months (lease on my 2016 GT Premium has the "early out" starting in about March), I really want the alcantara seats, but it's only available with the Carbon Fiber Pack... which would be fine, but the Carbon Fiber Pack cannot be had with the new digital gauge cluster and, for me, that digital gauge is a must-have option. I totally get Ford not making two molds for the Carbon Fiber Pack (one that fits the analog gauges, one for the digital), but why lock the alcantara to it? Come on, Ford... I want to give you money, let me give you money!
Sooooo... I'm wondering if I should just say "screw it" and grab a 2018 model, or hold out for the 2019s (my lease completely ends in late September 2018, so I have time to wait. I'm also planning on just buying it this time, though leasing again to wait for what's new in the 2020/2021 refresh is tempting). Thoughts? Any Ford reps here with some insider info? I'm, admittedly, also a bit disappointed with the rim choices for the performance pack (last I checked there was one, and it's black, and I hate black rims ).

BTW - I want the alcantara because I recently saw a 2017 GT with the factory alcantara/micro-suede inserts and the seats look amazing with it.
