I hear you. It's just that we never know who could be reading our posts.
He and Sarah do a good job providing us with a lot of detailed information internal to FoMoCo and dealers that we otherwise wouldn't be privy to as customers.
And given that I don't believe they're paid for their...
Respectfully, you're the ones who's making assumptions, as I don't even disagree with anything you're saying.
My point is that the way they're going about it is simply poor optics and whatever they were hoping to achieve is having the opposite effect, which Ford obviously is not concerned...
Maybe I'm missing something, but my understanding is that Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Centering are one in the same...

Now I will say, I bought one of the first 2018 Mustangs that hit the lots in late 2017, and I'm struggling to remember
ever having to bring it back in for a recall before it was totaled in 2020...
Granted, Ford has changed quite a bit since then and its quality problems seen to have gotten...
It depends.
Let's first assume money is no object for you.
If you're looking for a no-frills car with good handling and a ton of horsepower to occasionally use on the race track as a toy, then probably not.
With the GT Premium, you will be getting all of the "luxury" comforts useful for road...
I suppose to each his/her own.
"New & fresh" to me means nothing if it looks cheap and sloppily thrown together (which the Mustang's new dash does IMO).
And given I'm already paying nearly $60K for the car, I wouldn't mind paying a little more for a dash board that's better designed (in fact...
That's sort of the point myself (and others) are making.
They clearly value engineered the heck out of the infotainment screens' integration into the dash board and now we're left wondering how much it will hurt the intended functionality.
The other issue with the screens on the S650 Mustang (unlike the other vehicles in the images I shared) is because they're integrated so poorly, the glaring from the sun is quite bad in the few videos/images we've seen.
So apparently, it seems making changes made post-VIN and pre-production depends on whether your dealer is willing to jump through the hoops Ford requires to make it happen (I'm guessing many are not).
Thus, making changes will be much harder but not impossible.
Just to clarify, most of us who are complaining about the screens aren't complaining about the sceens themselves (we like their functionality), but rather how poorly they're integrated.
As someone else said, it's like someone decided to just literally plopped it on top of the dash board with...
FWIW, as far as where I got the "over 50 years" part from, I was going off the stat below.
Granted, this was just for new and "large" cars....
In the United States, over 80% of new cars had automatic transmission by 1957.[3] Automatic transmission has been standard in large cars since at least...
