That would be the goal. :thumbsup: I'm a potential (male) buyer. I'm willing to get a Mustang if it's near the top of the Mustang food chain in terms of handling & performance - that means at least the PP. It has to be automatic, or I won't trade (from my Corvette convertible) to a new...

Not exactly. The first premise is the fact that the auto manufacturers try to offer the least amount of choices which add cost (except for halo/image cars). Choices add complexity on the assembly line and that = cost. So if they they they can sell nearly as many automatics without a PP as...

That frames the problem pretty well. You shouldn't have to buy a stick to get the PP. But Ford hasn't kept it much of a secret that they wanted to boost the female appeal of this new Mustang (I've heard it first-hand from people who worked with Ford). So with those kinds of priorities, how is...

Huh? Porsche 911. Ferrari. Corvette Z06. All with automatics.

Most women buy automatics. They assume men will be satisfied with sticks. Since mostly only the male buyers care about the PP option, they only offer it in stick - no automatic. Trust me, that is their math. Chevy woke up and offered the 600+ HP Z06 with an automatic. Time for Ford...

I glottal say it out loud: The Mustang GT options seem diluted to capture women buyers. A Mustang GT PP option not offered with an automatic or in a convertible? (forget the limited 50th - that's just a limited showroom mark-up tool). Even Ferraris come in automatics now. The Corvette Z06...

That sort of makes sense, excel for two things: No convertible, is no different than no convertible now for any S550 - until Job 2, likely Spring 2015. The GT350 is supposed to be more Boss-like and track worthy, but the 'over-the-top stripe options' sure sound like a Shelby look - not a Boss...

I can see louvered windows as being a difficult but desirable after-market mod. Also would make sense on a future Bullitt edition (2018 50th Bullitt Mustang - but this time give us the Bullitt with the Shelby engine, except in Highland Green.)

Cars with stripes don't belong in drab colors… :thumbdown:

This launch is no great accomplishment by Ford's marketing. They copied 1964. So what. 2014, unlike 1964, is not about an all new 2015 car where everybody is willing to look past the features. The 2014 cars are old and tired. It was time for a new Mustang. By giving us this 'tease' BS...

Even the new 600HP Corvette Z06 will be offered with an Automatic and in a Convertible… :shrug:

It's what I want. :rant: I've driven track cars. This ain't gonna be my track car. I've owned Vipers, but only as roadsters. I won't touch the current Viper because it's not offered in a convertible anymore (and sales have tanked). I also like 1965 289 FIA Cobras - also convertibles. I...

No convertible with the PP and Automatic is a big mistake by Ford. I can only hope the bring back Wimbledon White for the GT350, and the GT350 is offered with an Automatic.

It's a bonehead move by Ford. I want: 1) Gotta be a convertible 2) As much performance as possible - PP is a minimum for consideration 3) Automatic - all major performance cars are going auto now Ultimately, I hope the GT350 is offered with an automatic (like some 60s Shelby's eventually were...

Ford's new-for-2015 Mustang is months away from hitting the road, but already the automaker is hyping up its ponycar's improved performance. Speaking with Automotive.com, Ford representative Brian Cotter indicated that the standard Mustang GT will best the outgoing track-oriented Boss 302...

Well, I've owned 6 Mustangs, and I have a '65 GT350 clone now, so it's sacred ground status for me. This new GT350 might be worthy of that name. Yes, 13/14 GT500s got notice from me (and I hate 'SVT' branding - cheapens the car), but I bought a Corvette 427 Convertible instead - handling...

Is that pre-production status for the GT350 really published somewhere? or just speculation? The car sure looks as close to production as the regular '15 GT. Got nothing really to do with future value. Its about keeping the wide consumer appeal for the car. My guess is that many under-40...

I'm clearly new here - so feel free to discount this opinion. It's highly unlikely that Ford is that dumb as to wait till 2016 MY for a GT350. That would be stupidity of monumental proportions. Not gonna happen. :gossip: Did anyone here see the 'Need For Speed' movie yet? If not I would not...

The first batch of '65 GT350s were shipped out in January 1965. Could Ford be following the tribute celebration out to the exact 50-year replay of dates? (First 2015s for order in April 2014. First 2015 GT350s in Wimbledon White available in January 2015?)
