Very Cool. :smile: The more I see of the new Mustang, the more I like it. I have to say the retro gages are nicely executed.

The all-new 2005 Ford Mustang will feature an industry-first color-configurable instrument cluster so customers can light their gauges in any of 125 unique colors.

Oh how those white-lit gauges bring back memories.

They did a great job on this.

I hope buyers support the look.

That is pretty cool. I really like the look of the new Mustang. At first I hated the rear end - thought it looked lame in the same way that the Impala does, pseudo-retro and with way too much garish plastic. I don't know if it's changed since the original concept or what, but now I like it much more:


Whatever happened to all that talk about the blue dash LEDs for the Mini?

I'm not happy with the new 'stang. I knew it was based off of the same platform as the T-bird without being told. Not that it's a terrible thing that they did it, it's just that I shouldn't be able to tell without being told. The worst sin, to me, is that it doesn't look all that sharp in red.

trippy,

you're looking at the concept rear end, not the official road going version, which hasn't been shown yet. It should rear its head that the NAIAS in detroit in Jan.
