The rear 3/4 window is needed to prevent a HUGE blindspot. Plus, the stance is tons better than the current bodystyle.
And noone said the interior will win any awards, but what hell do you expect? For $25k you get 300hp, great gearing, good looks, and a nice interior. Would you really want an awesome interior and cheap out on the engine?
Alot of you are missing the point, to be honest. The Mustang has always been a combo of good looks, good reliability, easy to mod, affordable to own, and easy to live with. It will NEVER set out to be the classiest interior out there. This is the best example of a combination of those traits for the Mustang in quite a long time.

You aren't going to see shit out of those tiny ass rear windows. I do agree this is the best Mustang yet. No shit this car has been the best bang for your buck for 20 years.
Trust me, Saleen will pimp it out.

yea this mustang looks very badass. however, the side mirrors do like crap... gotta paint that shit! dont leave some crappy black plastic on there. and yea, saleen hopefully will come out with some badass stuff for the new bodystyle stangs. one quick question tho.. are those the mufflers really close to the tips in that one pic above???? reminds me of our CLs with the mufflers and the tips right there, no long 3.5 pipes.....

Okay guys, the 94-2004 Mustangs dont have painted mirrors either (cept for the 03/04 cobra's I believe), so why are these so horrible looking? I'd rather them NOT charge the extra money to paint them and leave that up to the buyer.
And yeah, the mufflers are extremely close to the bumper, which imo is unfortunate. I like the CL-S setup, but on the Mustang it looks a little strange. This also will not allow "dumps" to be done, which is basically no tailpipes after the mufflers.
And you may not get a ton of viewing area out of the 3/4 windows, but trust me, without them there is a significant blind spot. I am very conscious (sp?) of turning my head around and looking and also leaning forward to look in the sideview mirror before changing into the left lane. Alot of people rely on the mirror without leaning forward only and without that extra amount of glass if you just relied on the door window at some point you'd have a close call or accident.

And BTW those are the optional 18" wheels for the GT which come with BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW tires.
They will come in 255/45/18 (I believe). The standard 17's get 235/55/17 Pirelli's
Incredible dry traction with unflappable wet weather control. Long treadlife. Smooth, quiet ride. In sizes that make it the perfect choice for most of today's hottest sports coupes, sedans, and sport trucks. Y-speed rated (up to 186 mph).
