HairyCanary said:I wouldn't spend too much time debating that -- power is not an option, it's standard. ALL Mustangs will have A/C, AM/FM CD, cruise control, power windows, power locks, etc. It's cheaper for Ford to do that than engineer and offer manual windows & locks for a tiny minority of customers that would go for it.

Nope, it's got a twist knob know, typical of other Ford vehicles. You can see it in this picture: http://bradbarnett.net/mustangs/timeline/05/05/25.jpgGelatiCruiser said:I rag on it all the time, but only because I actually like it....but...will the '05 have the "classic" pull-knob light switch?
eeep, well get yourself some pepto and keep waiting I guessDrakensoul said:Just to respond to the original post:
You're not the only one who doesn't care for the interior.
I'm hoping it grows on me, beacuse I love the exterior, but the interior makes me want to puke.
RICKS said:LOL!!! I'm right there with you! But why stop there? Who needs those pesky power door locks, when leaning and contorting across the car to pull up the knob and eventually breaking the console from leaning over it is so much fun? Really takes me back to the good ole days.... And that fancy schmancy Mach stereo thingy has gotta go, please offer an AM-only radio with a tin-can dash speaker. Power mirrors? It would be so much more retro and cool to revert to the old manual passenger side mirror that always vibrated out of adjustment, so you could lean over every other day 5 or 6 tries to get it tuned in, and again, break the console doing it. Lastly, I'd like to have no ignition switch, and a crank handle sticking out the front bumper to start the car with, and a brass horn bolted to the outside of my door with a big squishy rubber bellows that goes "AHH-OOO-GAAAA" when I squeeze it! (Sorry tac3242004, but your severe nostalgia got me off on a tangent I couldn't resist. Crank windows??? Man, I wouldn't go back to those days any more than I would relocate the $hitter in my house to the backyard, or install manual lever pumps at all my sinks for well water).
FNG 2001 said:Yeah... You could get rid of the power steering and brakes too. Or for the ultimate retro, you could cut the floor panels out and go Flinstone style.

I actually kinda liked the pull knob myself, it is brutally simple, kinda like the rest of the car. If they ever put the headlight control on a stalk, I'll kick 'em in the nuts!Gadgets can be fun sometimes, but I actually like the basic stuff -- manual A/C, for example, is all I ever want. Auto climate control always pisses me off because it's hard to use, and I'm finicky about what temperature I want it to be...

What's to complain about? It's kind of a hokey feature, but it is somewhat neat, unnecessary, but neatSVTdriver said:You actually admit to liking the 125 color changeable dash lights? We may have to revoke your rights to talk about stangs. j/kSeems like that was one of the first things most people were complaining about.
SVTdriver said:No but if we could get the admins to make custom titles for each troll. Then we'd know who to ignore. And who to actually discuss things with.
I suspect it wasn't Ford's decision -- they did not specifically design in the changeable gauge colors, it was offered up by Delphi. So unless Delphi is making the lighting for the rest of the interior and offered the option to Ford, you can't really blame Ford. Delphi does the radio too, I don't know if they offered Ford the changeable color on that or not -- probably not, because the gauges change color with three LED's, to put 125 different colors on the radio would require entirely different technology (and much more expensive at that).IWantMyNewGT said:I kinda like the idea of selecting a dash light color, the problem I have with it is that I've read that Ford cheaped out
SVTdriver said:I'm starting to feel like I got a raw deal. When did they have lights in the door and window switches? My 97 didn't have them.
