  1. Holy crap those visor stickers are ugly!!

    There was a time when these safety nazi stickers could simply be peeled off. I moved one from the new car to the government mandated plastic wheeled trash can we must use in my town. However on recent cars they are permanent. Most of my visors have been a cloth material of some sort. The craft...
  2. How Long from Order to COTUS?

    I went to my Ford dealer to order a car yesterday. When I got home I was able to find my order in the Cotus site. The order was placed while I was at the store.
  3. Got to see the new Mustang this weekend, and it raised some concerns.

    Thank you everyone for responding to my bicycle issue. I appreciate your perspectives. The original poster's concerns include the trunk opening for the item he wishes to carry in the car. I too have a concern about carrying an item in the car - a different one. It is not of similar dimensions...
  4. Got to see the new Mustang this weekend, and it raised some concerns.

    "Why not use a bike rack?" That is a solution but I prefer not to. A bike can get pretty dirty on a rack and I would rather not expose the bike to the elements. Security is better too if the bike is inside the car, under our travel duffel bags, when stopped for food or fuel. It is a nice bike...
  5. Got to see the new Mustang this weekend, and it raised some concerns.

    I share the exact same concern as the original poster. The opening seems very small for my purpose too; I want to carry my bicycle. Currently I take a '12 Focus hatch on trips and, with some dis-assembly to the bike, I can fit it in with the back seat folded down. The cargo area in the new...
  6. Body panel fit issues/gt pp test drive and review (pics inside)

    I appreciate these fitment comments; thanks. My eyes will be alert when I finally see the real car (none at my dealer yet) and when my ordered car comes in. I have been a long term Ford buyer - a string of vehicles which has been only interrupted by five Mercedes over the years. The fitment...
  7. Hardtop-notchback 2017-2018?

    Shooting Brake - me too! I still admire the Volvo 1800ES from 1973; it looks better than the original 1800 coupe. A shooting brake would be my preference because I like road trips and like to carry a bicycle in the back. And a shooting brake, while I doubt it would be popular in the home...
  8. Forbes Review (GT and EcoBoost)

    I also was tuned into the A5 coupe. For the cars I would want - base A5 versus Mustang I-4 turbo, premium, manual - the price difference for a new car is about $10K. Maybe build quality on A5 would probably be better and maybe the Audi is quieter but otherwise both cars would be quite...
  9. So, where are the V6 reviews?

    Look at the big picture. To Ford, it is not all about Mustang. There is the entire fleet to consider. The most important car to Ford is the Fusion and it has been an excellent car - in both iterations. V-6 was available in generation one; it is not available in any form in generation two...
  10. MotorTrend Review (EcoBoost)

    After reading the three reviews of the turbo four, the car (with MT though) sounds ideal for me and exactly what I've wanted for about three years. I do not need HP at high RPM. I do want quick acceleration from 0-10 mph and I want fun on freeway on/off ramps. I want six speeds for quiet...
  11. This is my first Mustang. How did your first make you feel?

    I arrived at Mustang in an entirely different way than most here. I had been a Mercedes coupe driver for years. '79 280CE. '98 CLK. '02 C230K. '04 CLK. My Mercedes were always rear wheel drive coupes; only one had what I preferred - manual transmission. I got tired of driving to Denver for...
  12. GUARD S550 MUSTANG Thread

    Well I am just about ready to give up on "guard" and settle for "ingot silver" I live where the sun is usually out and I don't like gray over the more green that seems obvious when a guard car is indoors or in the shade. I also want to drive in the winter and silver (along with white)...
  13. So is Ford going to make the press buy their own cars to test?

    As a multi-decade Ford owner I have the following memory of an introduction to share. It was the horribly long 2002 ("retro") Thunderbird introduction. Not many people on this site cared/knew about that car when it was coming - but I did. Ford showed the car in pre-production form what...
  14. Guard EB Premium Impression

    "Oh this is so very easy to solve....simply go to your Ford dealer to see this new color in person on the new Fusion." This has been my plan too but my dealer does not seem to want any Fusions in guard. It is to me an intriguing color but it does not seem that Fusion buyers are going to...
  15. Limited v6 sales

    While I recognize that clearly the Mustang and the Fusion are not meant for the same (or even similar) markets - maybe there is something to be learned about the use of a V6 by Ford in the Fusion. The Fusion is similar in size to the Mustang. The first iteration of the Fusion was offered, in...
  16. MUST have options

    I am disappointed that a thread dedicated to options desired at a forum dedicated to a particular automobile has devolved to a discussion on "Apple", "android", "IOS" and the like. I don't care about any of that stuff - at all. I care about automobiles a lot and Mustangs in particular...
  17. MUST have options

    For me, driving in the mountain west: Spare tire/wheel & jack. Premium package to get heated seats. Engine block heater - but it comes on all cars delivered in my state anyway. I do not want NAV and do not understand why anyone feels a need for it. I can use hard copy AAA maps and...
  18. 2015 Mustang as a "RENTAL" ...

    That is a smart question and a smart answer. I worked at Hertz decades ago so what I know is completely obsolete. However I would look for V-6 coupes at Phoenix, Tucson, San Diego and all central and south Florida airport locations first - followed by V-6 convertibles at the same...
  19. 2015 Mustang Sto N Sho License Plate Bracket

    So how exactly does the "Sto N Sho" bottom bracket mount to the 2015 Mustang? The concept is good; the quality looks good. How exactly does the owner attach the lower, horizontal plate portion of the device to the bumper of the car? - ranchero -
  20. Solution for NOT Drilling the Front Bumper - Craig's Custom Brackets

    I have used this product (Craig's) and I can not recommend it and I will not buy it for a future Mustang. I do not want my bumper drilled but will look for a different product for a '15 (or maybe '16) model year Mustang. I do not like the design of the Craig's part; it does not work well for me...
