Oh don't forget the (probable) MSRP hike as well!
Express windows should add about a grand. ;)

I really expected PP for automatic trans like the 50th anniversary model. But since an auto trans and PP option both already existed, they didn't bother to add new ways to combine options in that document.

Damn I was hoping for more [...]
I've been saying I doubted any kind of power increase, partially due to the GT350 continuing through 2017 (I suspect Ford/marketing want to keep the difference between the cars notable).

*IF* there is a non-GT350 power increase, it'll be a special model (Mach I?), then the following year the regular GT will get the same performance bump (the Mach I will have some additional unique items to differentiate it, make it "collectible").


I guess one button to roll down all windows.
OMG.

Trading my '16 for a '17.

The remote can open both windows after unlocking vehicle. Maybe it was only on coupe...

Thanks

Joe
I thought about something like that, but my '16 Convertible does that now, click unlock, click and hold a 2nd time, all windows go down (it's pretty cool :D)

My guess is the 2017 model sales will suffer pretty significantly now that we know 2018 is the update year. At least in every color except for Grabber Blue (because for some reason people love that color...)
This. Ford basically just handed the sales lead to Chevy if this is all that's new. Not even a new special edition? I feel like this document is leaving stuff out though. For example, we know Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are debuting on the 2017 models yet that's not highlighted here...

I also wonder whats on page 2. If this is really basically everything thats done besides carplay, then that sales lead may even out with chevy.

Wow I was debating trading in my 15 50th anny appperance pack w/401a mt82 for a regular premium 401a just because of the 6r80 trans.

Forget that. I'll just wait 1 year for a 2018 refresh and get my auto trans, unless they come out with a tremec option for the 5.0.

Oh @Spartan, sorry buddy ;)
Ford's loss not mine...they aren't getting my money this year. $$$ ;)

Agreed. If this is true...not good for sales.

I still think the camaro is priced too high with visibility flaws that detract a lot of buyers, I like the new camaro minus the rear end but that price is just to high, can't justify it. If ford keeps a solid price point and a spacious cabin I think the mustang will continue to dominate the sales lead.
