I was reading the new issue of Motor Trend yesterday and they had article about the 2009 1/2 mustang. The article stated that Mustang is gonna have a more modern dash than the current model does. The new IP is supposedly more driver oriented.

Seeing those pics of the 5th gen IP makes me think how hard those gauges are gonna be to read when your on a road course doing 100+ mph.
I think 5th gen IP (the whole dash for that matter) is more style oriented than driver oriented. The IP kinda reminds me of my uncles 72 Olds 88 not a modern sports car.

 

Then buy a mustang???

 

That's what HUD is for.

 

One word.....HUD

 

speed, RPM, fuel, and coolant temp are as easily accessable as any car .. i dont see why they would be harder to read...
and those are the most important ones to see if you happened to be going 100+mph.. so i dont see the problem

stuff on the center console is not vital info really.. and if you really needed to know that stuff put it up on the HUD :P

 

I really hope there's a comprehensive HUD, something colorful and stunning...

 

Two words...

user programmable.

 

Road Course at 100+mph...fair enough, but how often are you gonna be doing that?

 

HUD cures not being able to read the gauges... but what cures the 70's dash.

 

Oh, Boy..........................

 

Like I said before, if you dont like it, buy a mustang.

 

thats not a word... its an acronym.

 

Good advice, the F5 should only be resereved for the faithful and the hardcore, after all look what it did for the F4

 

I think everyone's entitled to their own opinion, and there are sure a lot on here, but it seems to me that the prevailing sentiment I see from those negative on the interior is that it isn't enthusiast oriented enough. That they're putting style before function. That doesn't seem to be aiming at the hardcore to me...

 

So - how do you like the new Camaro? Have you driven one?

Have you ruled out buying one?
