Which Ford accomplished.

The target is literally everyone and the rest of the World (turbo, 30+ mpg, IRS, modern styling, roomier, etc). The styling is meant to attract more female buyers too. 50-100 pounds and an inch in length is really nothing to write home about.... Every last editor is saying that this is a proper Mustang and the best one yet. As far as a roomy backseat? Child please, it's a pony car at the end of the day and this ain't the 1960's so get with it... If you want a roomy backseat in an American Classic buy the Challenger.
Tuners are going to have a field day with the Ecoboost... At this point I'd rather have that model now and buy the V8 GT later when they update it with direct injection and other amenities.
