I thought the Mustang was getting T-tops, was this canceled?

 

I'm still holding out hope for a optional t-top camaro, if not i'll buy something else.

 

Like what? Nothing else has T-tops although the Vette has a Targa

 

I think it's pretty much been definitively established there will be no T-Top Camaro.

 

Start calling dealerships then, there won't be t-tops in the next Camaro when it is released. Keep in mind, whatever else you drive probably won't have them either.

 

The auto companies would rather have you pay and extra $5 grand for a convertible.

 

I dunno, I think if GM had a way to engineer T-tops into the 5th Gen (and if they looked halfway decent), they'd do it.

3rd and 4th Gens made a killing on the T-top option. Try finding a 4th Gen without T's....I had a '94 Z28 hardtop and felt like the only one....I mean I really had a rare car!

 

I have one too (hardtop)

 

This is very true. If they could, they would because it is a fact that they know how much we want them. However, they cannot. There are far too many other threads about why to get into it here.

 

I wonder if the front and side 5 star crash rating has anything to do with no T-tops in the new Camaro?

 

Not ratings, but the government mandated standards at a HUGE factor.

 

I have to admit, I love T-tops and have since the very first 1976 Pontiac 50th annicersary Bladk/Gold TransAm had them (which I just happened to have owned one!).

Drop tops are fine, targa-tops are better, but I'll never like either of them as much as a T-top!

 

Ford is very shrewd at managing the Mustang. They are spacing out alot of plans and pacing themselves on what to offer and when to offer it.

The Mustang has alot of things built into the body to accept future options and models, and not just the infamous hoodscoop-ready hood for a future Boss or Mach 1 model.

Ford DOES have a T-top in the porfolio, assuming that it's already cleared any crash testing that needed to be done. But as to when they will add it to the option lists is now anyone's guess since there would be a fairly low startup time, and therfore with fairly little advance notice.

 

Isn't the current model due for a major re-design for either the '09 or '10 model year?

If so, I woulnd't expect to see major changes in options before then.

 

I want T Tops...but unfortunately it looks like there will be 3 options: Hardtop,Sunroof,and Convert.
