2016 Mustang Changes thread.

[JimmyTwoTimes]

It seems all of the '16 changes are already confirmed.

The 4 options in OP, and the new color is "tuxedo black" instead of black per someone found a '16 color brochure at their dealership. No one knows what the color difference is.

No engine or other performance changes, no PP on other models (AT or vert)

Sync 3 if you want it (extra $) but current Sync is still available too; we already knew this.

I highly doubt there are any more changes considering ordering starts in 40 days.

Is the 50th Anniversary Appearance Package still available? A Mustang isn't a Mustang without a corralled pony.

My bet will be that it will change names as some kind of Mustang of America package and be added to the EB.

Auto PP

There hasn't been much more of an explanation beyond they did it for '15 to keep the LE models exclusive since they can have an auto with all the PP equipment, and there was also the single LE convertible with the PP equipment.

So we know it all fits, its just a matter of them offering it now (if they don't I really won't understand why), since details are still trickling out about the '16 I definitely have all my fingers crossed.

I believe the LE Vert was a Manual Trans.

My bet is they have the coral'd pony in some other appearance package. Probably nothing like the current 50th beyond the coral. Possibly just offer the grill, although there aren't many standalone options in this day and age.

That would be actually pretty sick.

If they are doing the fogs on the California special, I hope that they are modern looking and tie with the new design. I hope they just don't look like an afterthought and just thrown on (like a lot of photoshops have done).

I was thinking of making some LEDs for the Vents until I realized, I can't see them from the Driver's seat. Hood sticks-up so far it blocks the view. Maybe a low-profile version of the GT350 Hood in the '17 GT model?

You can see them IF you have your seat up high enough...but yes the center hood sticks up too far on the current model. I hope someone comes out with a aftermarket hood that incorporates either the GT350 look or keeps the current hood/vents but lowers the mid vent rise.

Are you thinking these will be round fogs in the grille? Me likes that!

What would be the point of a rear facing blinker in a modern vehicle? I'd sooner see a HUD in the viewing space...at least a hood mounted tach. ;)

So you can know what direction you're turning.

lol I hate it when I'm sitting at an intersection and I forget which way I originally intended to turn!

Will the sync 3 be available as an upgrade on the 2015 premium mustangs, or can it only work on the 2016?

No, Sync3 will only be available for 2016 forward. Completely different hardware/software, so it won't be backwards compatible with '15.

 

[MustangEco]

Well shit... I was thinking about buying one in the next month. : /

 

[Isurus550]

Well, if you can wait until 5/11, you can have Sync3 if it's that important to you. Personally, I like MFT. This is my first vehicle with an infotainment system like this, and I haven't ever used the QNX system in any other vehicles it comes in, but I haven't had any issues yet, and from what I've seen from YouTube demos, I prefer the look of MFT over QNX.

If you can wait, wait. But it would probably be until July or August when you can get delivery of a 2016. If you can't wait, just get the 2015.
