49 Years of Mustang Advertising
We’re told that the “pony car” era started when the 1964 1/2 Mustang was introduced at the New York World’s Fair on April 17, 1964. Actually, the Plymouth Barracuda beat the Mustang to the market by 16 days, but the Mustang made a huge impression, which is why they’re called pony cars and not fish cars. Ford has already started with their 50th anniversary celebrations, and of course you’ll be able to buy your choice of merchandise with the golden anniversary logo, which uses a version of the font used for the Mustang’s 5.0 liter engine logo. By April 17th of next year you may be sick of hearing about Lee Iacocca’s pride and joy, but in the meantime, please enjoy 49 years of Mustang advertising.

- SCE to AUX This sounds like it's related to the service brakes and the automatic braking software sensitivity, not the parking brake.My making it hyper-sensitive to save the children, they imperiled the other children.
- SCE to AUX Too bad they didn't include Level 2.Banning Level 5 may be a mistake, since on paper it must work (unlike Level 2, which doesn't have to work). My concern is that mfr claims about Level 5 will be shattered by reality.
- Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Another Hyunkia'sis?
- FreedMike "It would be on my shopping list – especially since the price tag is pretty nice at $33,700 (plus $1,150 for D and D) for the manual and $35,200 plus destination for the DCT." True, but that's BEFORE the dealer markups, which are ludicrous.
- Jeff Tim--Thanks always good to have a car review especially a car with a manual transmission.

The Mercury Capris of the Fox body era WERE cooler, with the gratuitous fender flares and (on later models) the bubble-back rear windows. BUT... ...as much as I loved growing up in the '80's, it was awful to see the hatchbacking trend that no brand of performance car could escape. Mustangs, Firebirds, Camaros, even the badass Porsche 928S ...all emasculated grocery-getters.
