  1. The new dashboard is a big mistake IMO

    pure unadulterated and pointless eye-candy. Fun and "ooohhh" for exactly 90 seconds. Then you have to live with it and it's bugs and slow-downs and glitches for the next 7 years. Why not just grab a skin mag and admire the centerfold for 90 seconds while sitting in the garage. It's about as...
  2. Base Model/Standard Interior

    since when has that stopped the erudite, thoughtful analysis and debate by the denizens of this mold-breaking, yet "jerking off" to heritage worshiping forum?
  3. Base Model/Standard Interior

    given that layout, yes. If it wasn't intended as such, then this would be an example of seriously WTF bone-headed decision. Everybody is capable of egregious design sins from time to time. I would frankly ask Ferrari to explain what possessed them to do the above. What problem where they trying...
  4. Base Model/Standard Interior

    My opinion and $1.25 will get you bad cup of coffee from 7-11... But you don't have to be a design guru to observe everybody is just copying everybody else. One year it's triple element headlights with LED 'angle' as eyebrows/surround, and it metastasizes into a cancer across multiple brands...
  5. The new dashboard is a big mistake IMO

    yeah, I wanna beat the person who signed off on Sync3 Map response time senseless. Their pleas of "stop" will be responded to in the same manner as their software. Laggy, erratic, jumping all over the place, sporadically ignored...
  6. Farley: 8th Gen Mustang Will Have ICE Engine Option

    eh? I was expressing the likely Italian sentiment. If you suffered the humiliation last time, don't you think you'd be out for blood, short knives and all? I sure as hell would be.
  7. Farley: 8th Gen Mustang Will Have ICE Engine Option

    you just know Ferrari will pull out all the stops to put the uppity Americans in their place.
  8. Farley: 8th Gen Mustang Will Have ICE Engine Option

    I think the preposterous "reality" of only-EV is finally percolating up to the C-level. They KNOW they are royally screwed if EV falls flat like it MUST and they have no way of backing out of their corner.
  9. X-plan for 2024 GT / Dark Horse?

    assuming your dealer is participating in ABXD. I very much doubt DarkHorse will be eligible period, just like M1/GT350/500 were excluded.
  10. Base Model/Standard Interior

    Not sure that benchmark is going to hold up. Short of cash of course, that may be the new floor in consumer financing. The people willing and able to pay cash is a TINY fraction of the current ownership. Cash is of course a GOOD THING, but we as a society have gone absolutely MAD for cheap...
  11. Base Model/Standard Interior

    I'm John the Baptiste, crying out in the forum wilderness. I'll leave the role of Messiah to someone else - I'm not much for suffering for the betterment of (undeserving) mankind. In any event you conflate big money, and establishment with 'rightness'. Clearly that appeal to authority has lost...
  12. The new dashboard is a big mistake IMO

    Maybe I missed something obvious, but I am amazed I can't change between the 4 main screens of the Sync3 by voice. And to do so I have to FIRST hit the tiny Home button which mercifully is at the top left corner bounded by raised plastic so you can feel for it if nothing else.
  13. S650 Panels not well aligned

    Any particular reason you seem so invested in this? You have a GT/CS, so are you desperate to paper-over the Ford legacy of not being able to do sheetmetal as well as Kia can on cars priced half as expensive?
  14. “All New” 2.3L I4 EcoBoost Engine Specs & Photos (S650 Mustang)

    'murica is about trucks - pick'emups doncha know? Truly sad Detroit can't (won't?) field a decent car anymore. I wish Japan Corp and Kia the best, may they annihilate the American auto industry just like they did in the 80's. I think Mazda lost it's way there for a bit but is coming back. I...
  15. Base Model/Standard Interior

    monkey see other monkey do, so I'll dodoo likewise is not a justification. It's just pure laziness. I looked up 'eyesore' in Websters and it had the above picture in it. This is not design, this is not cool, this is some 10 year old seeing how many nozzles, buttons, push-sliders, bevels and...
  16. The new dashboard is a big mistake IMO

    the hate is generally (at least for me) not the vehicle itself. I think it's well done (except htat stupid center screen) but entirely with sullying the name and idea of Mustang. I hope they sell a gazillion of them and drive Tesla into bankruptcy, or at least irrelevancy.
  17. The new dashboard is a big mistake IMO

    not a chance in hell. Unless they FIX it. I don't give 2 farthings for "mustang" in the general sense. I LIKE the S550. I LIKE the GTI v7.5. I'm not buying either of the new. I don't give a damn if the new car has 550HP and massages my butt on long trips. It looks awful inside and out. Just the...
  18. The new dashboard is a big mistake IMO

    I should not have to shell out $2000+ to fix an egregious design gaff - it doesn't matter if they spent thousand of hours designing a shit dash - it's still shit. The BRONCO team BOTHERED to integrate the screens into the dash, albeit their choice for format made the dash rather ungainly tall...
  19. The new dashboard is a big mistake IMO

    right but that's what at most 50 people?
  20. Do you like the new rear lights on S650 Mustang?

    unfortunately it's the ONLY angle that looks good. But in some twisted logic that's a good thing I guess because well, that's the view the entire world is going to experience, right?
