Isn't that always who they sell the most cars to? Makes sense.

And design management have no clue what a Mustang is, otherwise they would never have approved this. I could have imagined something like this happening with that office chair retailer at the helm, but it happening under Jim Farley that's just a massive disappointment. He's supposed to be the car guy.The designer is imho not very talented.
If it means mere phone for 1k$ and replacing it every year then yeah, it's a pejorative to me, utter waste of money and materialism at its best."Like an iPhone" is not actually a pejorative.
So what? You missed the point.If it means mere phone for 1k$ and replacing it every year then yeah, it's a pejorative to me, utter waste of money and materialism at its best.Sorry, couldn't help it. I don't like this Apple approach.
umm, not sure where you get the "replace every year"If it means mere phone for 1k$ and replacing it every year then yeah, it's a pejorative to me, utter waste of money and materialism at its best.Sorry, couldn't help it. I don't like this Apple approach.
I would love to fast forward a year to see how many of the haters actually buy something else instead of a Mustang. Internet hate is easy, but when it comes down to putting down the Benjamin’s I’m willing to bet a lot if folks will be singing a different tune. Just like 2015 and 2018.umm, not sure where you get the "replace every year"
I own an iPhone. I tend to replace mine every 5-6 years. I tend to replace my car every 10-12 years, and probably for the same reason. After a while, things start breaking or (in case of a computer) it can no longer do the job I require of it.
I know people who replace their phones every year, I also know people who buy a new car every 2-3 years, and even one person who does it after driving their old one 500 miles (yeah, I don't get it either)
Things change. Sometimes for the worse, but most of the time, it's changing for the better. Let's hope that this new system will actually allow us to fully customize and actually use these displays to give us the information we want/need from our dash instead of just what the engineers/designers thought we wanted.
It was only a jokeSo what? You missed the point.
As for the rear seating area - the rear 1/4 plastics are different as well as the rear deck and rear seat belt retractor pods. Upholstery design looks a little different but not much and seat swaps will probably still work. Can't tell if the trans tunnel/floor pans are elevated (more shallow) or lower (deeper) than the S550.While I could live with the dashboard design, I think it's a much bigger disappointment that besides the dashboard itself the whole interior just looks like S550 carryovers with very minor adjustments.
Take a look at these pictures from model year 2014 and the brand new generation of 2024.

I think the rear seats are even completely unchanged...
