2017 Mustang Order Guide

[Zelek]

I liked the premier trim when I saw it in person. I think it's worth it. Adds a very nice touch to the interior.

Back seats do not match?

I would have got the premier trim if I had ordered my car.

My 2 Cents:

One thing I noticed though, correct me if I am wrong. With the premier trim, the front seats (with the "striped style" perforations) don't match the back seats.

Also, since I am a big fan of the cooled seats (after much sweaty butt in my 2013 with Recaros) , it would seam like "less Perforations" in the premier, would not have as good a volume of air flow.

I would enjoy the soft door sills, although my Acuras with the soft touch both ended up with impressions where I rested my elbows.

As for the hood vent blinkers, I just watched most of Barrett-Jackson coverage this past weekend and I can visualize the dude on the podium in the future saying " and 2016 Mustang was the only year for the throwback hood vent blinkers dramatically increasing the value of the car" LOLOL

Absolutely should not be standard. I wouldn't own one without it but people should have choices.

I'm for more individual options and fewer "bundles/standards".

The soft touch top of the door pane partl should be standard across the board at this point in a 2017 model year vehicle.

no more 051A V6 Fastbacks ...

Interesting:

No more 051A option for coupes.

No more hood signals on GTs (already mentioned)

Everyone gets the same (50 state) emissions systems.

Windows, Power – Front One-touch-Up/Down
with Global
Open (bold is new - refers to rear windows in vert?)

Phasing out the V6 probably and forcing more people in the EB. Wonder how many people optioned for a V6 with 51A over a base EB?

I kept track of dealer stock-ordered 2015 Mustangs within a 100 mile radius of my dealer and did the same for the 2016's.

V6 Fastbacks w/ 050A
2015 ... 23
2016 ... 8
vs.
V6 Fastbacks w/ 051A
2015 ... 27
2016 ... 20

2016 as of last Monday ... I'm sure my numbers are not 100% accurate, but real close.

So YES, I'd say the 051A option on the fastback V6 was popular (50% more so based on my numbers), at least ways in Wisconsin. If I ended up ordering a V6 instead of EB, I would have gotten it.

YES, I think Ford is also trying even harder to push buyers into the EB.

That's a bit shocking. I'd love to know why they made that change.

:ford:Aftermarket produced blinkers for the 15. Not surprised to see them go. One & done, with that item. I see 20'' Foundries with all season tires , now that change is interesting. Late option for summer tires with that 2 year old wheel. My 15 has them with summer rubber. My 2016 CS AS tires given. The new colors are sweet. Looks like 2018 will be the refresh year .................

Wheels

Looks like the 50th Wheels, but are they the Performance Pack 9 and 9.5, or the Appearance Package 8.5s?

Those are 19" Black Appearance Package wheels.

Mark Fields.... money guy not a car guy. Bill Ford did a great commercial about a red mustang, tunes and a V8-all he needed. He was believable. Mark Fields ain't that guy. The public didn't go nuts for the blinkers...so if they can save $10 a car out they go....it becomes serious money.

A lot of folks are not aware of or understand Program Economics...that is the way Ford (and GM etc) budget and plan things- by program totality. If they can alter their paint process and reduce costs a mere $3 per car most on here would think "big deal - 3 bucks". But if your making a million cars/trucks per year then you just saved $3,000,000 - that becomes big bucks.

When they plan a new car (or truck)...such as the S550 they look at it as a 5-6-7 yr build. Figure 500,000 cars in total....find a way to save a mere $10 (and boy do they look hard) per Mustang and you have saved--or "made" $5,000,000 for Ford.

Manufacturers are famous for "decontenting"...add jazzy items during the initial years to get market attention then slowly remove them to save $$.

I held off on a 16-couldn't find the color (Race Red CS Coupe auto for a daily driver) on a lot to my build specs and thought I'd wait until 17 to Order after giving up on a GT350 here in Cali (ADM just more than I will swallow vs utility of the car to me)...now I'm a bit pissed (at Ford and myself). Although stupid...I liked the blinkers-recall seeing the originals as a kid.

Yeah, I just noticed the Brakes aren't Performance Pack. Just exchanging Silver Paint for Black.
