Want do you want in the 2028 Mustang

[TMR]

No wonder our cars weigh more than 3700 lbs.

I want a fur lined sink, electric dog polisher, one of them there robot arms to hand my coffee to me, a significant other silencer (NOT the lethal kind!), cop proof coating, and a Roger Ramjet secret decoder ring! Just sayin..........................

We are our own worst enemies.

You are dead on!
We need less. A light weight track package option. Delete the center screen to start. Could we get it down 500#?

How about some great sporty colors other than ten shades of gray! Drop the black wheels, they have worn out their welcome. How about fixing the worthless dash. Use knobs for HVAC, Seats, and Radio, the rest is O.K for the I-Pad Crew to play with!
Give the car some low-end TORQUE. Outlaw 3:15 gears in a GT! Buy an ECO Boost if you want great gas mileage.

Keep the 3.15 option us boosted guys prefer them. Wrong motor to be looking at for more torque though a 5.4 would be a welcome addition and help out some.

Front camera. My front splitter got damaged by those parking blocks that are very hard to say over the hood
Automatic electronic folding of cameras. My garage is not full size and I have to manually do it each time

Sorry, not cameras but mirrors

I'd like 3 things - While the panoramic screen looks great, it would look even better with a shroud to integrate it better. Tho they don't have panoramic screens, the Z, 911, and F150 all do it better. The Camaro and C8 are ok too. Unfortunately, every other car out of the Ford Design Studio (Lincoln included) is a fucking dumpster fire.

I'd like a Dorkhorse SC-ish redesign on the 200/300/600 cars. Yeah, a lot of people will complain it's even closer to the Camaro, but bleh. Like 2017->2018, I want the ends of the headlights to sweep down instead of up; that'll kill the "It looks like an Accord" comparison.

I want them to stop de-contenting and up-packaging features. In 2026, a 400A package is almost exactly the same as a 300A + leather. 400A lost pony puddle lights, aluminum pedals, and the panoramic display - all now 401A only. And EVERY trim lost the UGDO and (2025) the wireless charger.

While it would be cool if they produced some sort of track specific lightweight model, the cars are too expensive anyway. Any new model they introduce like an S650 GT350 is gonna slot in at $90k between the Dorkhorse and Dorkhorse SC.

Front camera seems to be unanimous! As already mentioned, we need illuminated door sills, and HomeLink back. I also want chrome trimmed headlights as an option again (blackout lights are cheesy IMO). Lastly, I would like a steering wheel "source" button for switching from FM radio to CarPlay without having to navigate the screens.

Bring back the T tops.

The c8 has many of these options if you don’t want to wait — and many models to choose from to match what you want to do with the car — it also has downsides that will make you appreciate your Mustang (no rear seat, harder to get in and out, and not much trunk space, and let’s not forget. . . fugly).

The C8 is brilliant. But I like my Mustang.

Reliability.

Of course it’s too late for a 2027 wish list so let’s go with 2028.
I have three.
1) Walk away door locking. Why do we still have to push a button on our fob or the door handle. I have a 2018 Traverse that has this.
2) Front camera. Obvious reasons.
3) Rear view mirror camera. IMO you’ll love it.
Theses are all easy improvements. Nothing outrageously expensive.
Your turn.

FYI you can enable walk away door lock with forscan. Obviously would be better natively in the interface, but an option for those of us with current models

360 cam. Blue cruise. Massage seats. Pano roof. And I wouldn’t hate a 2wd/awd option like the chargers. Selectable of course on the fly. I’d also like to be able to mix and match drive mode settings.

Windows remote "UP" to complement the windows remote "DOWN". 2023 Mach 1 dashboard with HUD added. For those that buy the V8 add a soft button on the touch center screen that shuts down the woofer farthing noise during the engine acceleration. I know it is just a bit change in the Audio Control Module - make it user programmable for those that want to shut that silly noise. The active exhaust is just fine without the audio added stuff..

Going to go all in on polarizing opinions (as far as performance models go, not base models)

1. Less luxury and electronic doodads.
2. No cameras
3. No wireless charging
4. No touchscreens
5. Full-on media delete option like the GT350R
6. Sound system delete option
7. No autobraking, less sensors
8. No BSMs
9. No GPS

Take all those cost savings, and roll it into a 600lb weight reduction and a front SLA, give it a glorious, resonant soundtrack, great seats and good looks.

Maybe drop a GT4 race engine in it....

Winner right here!! This would get me to seriously look at picking up a new Mustang.....

1. Get rid of the f-ibg ugly dash.
   A slap on screen is aesthetically distasteful and tacky like any other Kia or Hyundai. Make the dash close to s550. Real gauges even better!
2. real buttons for sound and ac controls
3. sunroof
4. illuminated door sills, cup holder lights
5. homelink
6. Provide a Tremec option in the GT even if it’s a higher cost option.
7. Provide a Voodoo engine option
8. AND FOR GOD’S SAKE BRING THE PRICE DOWN By $5k on ALL MODELS - 2024 was $5k less
