Default 05 mustang interior

wow, 125 color instrument panel... as well as the red bucket seats! the steering wheel and the bi-pods instrument panel look pretty cool to my eyes

I certainly wouldn't mind one of them. Way to go, Ford!

I mean, I am sure it's an improvement but retro from 1964? I don't think so
It's like totally acknowledging, the past is better. That your new design sucks. I for one like the current Mustang. Actually since 1994 with the re-designed one. I thought it was a good design. It killed the Camaro and Firebird sales-wise.

Seeing as I couldn't even physically drive the last generation Mustang (due to an overly bulky panel under the steering wheel) ... anything is an improvement.

Thumbs down

I guess have 120-something colors to choose from is to compensate for the instruments' ridiculously crappy design.

I would go nuts if I actually had to look at those gauges on a regular basis...in ANY color.

i think the gauges are hot. im a fan of old school domestics though. i think they did a good job recreating old school with new.

Click the image for fullsize...



I'm not a fan of the Mazda6 Style airvents, but I think they did a pretty good job overall, even though I like the previous generation 'Stangs more.

Considering that the original mustang is STILL a hit, and that retro-styling is the cat's pajamas these days, I'd say Ford did alright. . . But, just to throw my opinion out there, the fox body stangs of yore (87-93) are my favorite. I see Ford having NO problem unloading craploads of these things.
