I'll miss the Premium Package California Special interior. The faux suede feels great and the red stitching really looks good.

I don't need 10 years to come to that conclusion, I think it already looks hideous right away.

Whereas when I look back 10 years to when the S550 was introduced I liked the dash from the first second and it still looks as good today as it did 10 years ago. Same goes for the S197 facelift dash, the S197 original dash and even the SN95 dash. All those cars breathe Mustang when you step inside.

When you step into an S650 it breathes Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Opel, Toyota, Mercedes, BMW and Chevy.
That is your taste, fair enough. To me those old analoge gauge clusters are looking way too old now and trust me they won't come back in the nearest future.

Sorry if it is off topic, but instead complaining about the dashboards, what I don't like is that in the GT models the right air intake is (fake) closed as the reservoir bottle for the windshield water is placed there. That is a detail that freaks me out as the car looks totally weird from the front if you look at it as the air intakes are not even looking.

I wish I could unsee this

Eh, if it’s not necessary then it’s better to be closed for aero (me trying to rationalize lmao)

Since the S650 reveal, the exterior has grown on me and the interior has…well done the opposite. I will check it out once they start hitting lots but so far I’m thinkibg my game will be to wait 2 model years and see if the interior dash gets a change. It just doesnt look like a mustang in video/pics inside. I will be looking at the used 350 market next year also and hoping enough current 350 owners want the new dark horse to trade so i can finally get the twisted orange 350….its out there somewhere.

This is an all-digital dash from the SP3 Daytona
Yep...but it's an analogue style cluster with a rude analogue style gauge in an analogue style binnacle. Vs say...a monitor or flat screen tv. Ok it's only got one 'in your face' analogue style gauge. Here's another old looking analogue style dash no one would want...

Twisted orange is a rare, but fantastic bird. Top 3 GT350 colors.
