As of June 1st, I have officially preordered a 2005 Mustang GT, leather seats and all! Comes in early September. No more Saturn for me! :D My modified 1991 Saturn SL2 has been a bit of a roller coaster ride, lots of breakage, lots of problems, but I still had some great times with that car. Thanks for all the help this newsgroup brought me.

Sorry to see you go. I saw the '05 'Stang at the auto show, it sure is nice looking. Did you go for the 6 or 8 cyl?

Can you get a GT without the 8 cylinder?

At least they sell the GT with a manual transmission.

(confused look) Why wouldn't they!? Perhaps you are referring to the Saturn L300 V6, which only comes with an auto? I always thought that was a mistake.

You'd be surprised how many car manufacturers are only offering their high end cars with an automatic in the US.

No offense to those who drive high-end cars, but considering how many "high-end" drivers have more important things to do besides driving, I'm not surprised. A manual transmission would almost force them to put down their damn phones/PDAs/etc and actually drive.

Even without the toys (distractions) drivers in my area are challenging. Slowing to an almost-stop on a 4-lane road looking for an address (I'm guessing), changing lanes in front of you-no signal-then slowing down. And my fave is the Soccer Mom's in SUV's driving like 17 year old boys and their first car.

With the exception of having a convertible option, the Mustang has never been one of my favorite cars. I always thought the 5.0L LX looked pretty sharp (compared to the gaudy GT of the day) and was a good idea. I was wowed by the pull from the '99 GT I test drove (I was really only considering a V6), though I like the '98 body style a little better, even if the car is a weaker performer. The current huge GT hood scoops look ridiculous to me.

But I fell in love with the '05 the first time I saw pics of it, inside and out. I even like the final taillight treatment vs. the prototypes. The only thing I would change is the rear to be a duck tail vs. a tack-on spoiler as in the second pic on this thread... http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=411959

I bet this car is going to phenomenal hit! The new GT will be my first brand new domestic, though I plan to wait at least a couple of months to see what new car bugs might appear. Man, I can't wait to see one in person. I might even mod my car (the new Mustang) for the first time ever with an exhaust.
