To get back on topic while still talking about the Camaro, many people stated if you want "real" stitching "buy a luxury car" or "the Mustang is a budget sports car you get what you pay for" and "real stitching is too expensive to put in an interior". So what about the Camaro ? lots of "real" stitching yet it should be the same price as the Mustang right ? So apples to apples comparison here.

We don't know pricing but the Camaro seems to manage the - almost too many - "real" stitched materials around the interior while still offering some great extra features including a semi digital dash, HUD, heated steering wheel and many - prolly expensive - options you also see on exclusive sports cars.

So as I see it comparing apples to apples there should not be any faux stitching in the Mustang when you go for the Premium spec with Premium trim. Or am I really that crazy and is faux stitching a Premium feature these days ?

Hence I feel Ford has to prematurely upgrade its interior and add some features.
If it bugs you this much, then don't buy a Mustang. From reading this thread it won't be a big loss.

For 2017 maybe Ford will come out with a Premium Stitching Package as an upgrade to the Premier Trim which is an upgrade to the Premium Package.

I will anyway its just that I want to figure out why they would make a decision like this. It doesn't make too much sense to me, especially since you can upgrade the dash and promotional interior video's show real stitching on the side pieces.

^^^ It was a design option (per the video), which they didn't choose ... most likely cost driven. Ford wanted to keep the price down, and with a total redesign for the S550 they probably cut out some of the "luxury" touches.
