Well, I got a chance to see the new 05 in person yesterday at the local dealer. Unfortunately it was only the V6, but still looked everything over. Here's my review.
Exterior: Looks real good in person, but had typical Ford orange peal.
Interior: Very nice, plenty of room in the front, but even less room in back than my vert. Gauges and everything is laid out very well.
Engine: V6 sounds real throaty and virtually no room under the hood. they have sensors everywhere. Good luck relocating wires in this thing.
Overall: I give it a solid 8 out of 10. Ford stuck their neck out on this one, but I think they will sell a ton of these car.
The salesman told me it would be about 30 days until they get a GT. Can't wait to drive that.
The coolest feature on the car was that when you open the door the window drops just a hair, and when you close the door it instantly goes up to create a tight seal. I know it's kind of corny, but I thought it was cool.
