Ehh...Mustang was moved up 6 months to be in time with the Camaro. Both will be available for first quarter 09.
And Camaro around for 5 years?
Jan 2006:Concept
July 2006: Approval for production
Jan 2007: Convertable Concept
Mid 2008: Public showing of production car
Late 2008: Producton Starts
March 2009: In dealer show rooms.
My math, from concept to production is 3.5 years. From green light to production, 3 years. From concept to showroom, 4 years
None of that is 5. I understand that you dont like the 5th gen, but dont think that your hatred for the car will cover up your horrible math skills.
As for stealing thunder, Ford is the one that rushed the MCE Mustang so that its thunder would not be stolen.
And by the way, October 13th to the 31st, 7k Camaros sold. Wana find me the sales numbers of the Mustang?

Eh, the enthusiasts wanted the SLA, and when I say enthsuisasts I mean Mustang owners who have had no problem driving a 25 year old chassis in 2004. Mustang wont see an IRS set up till they merge it with the future Falcon chassis from Oz. Thats 3-4 years down the road, if we get there.
As for this Mustang, its all new sheetmetal and interior, but chassis and powertrain changes little.
Talks of the big ol 5.0 badge making 400hp is in full swing yet again, and we will have to wait till then.
