I would NEVER buy a Mustang GT with an auto. There would be NO POINT to owning a GT with one. Period. Drag Racing be damned, as going fast in a straight line to me is boring. Some cars it doesn't matter what kind of transmission it has, but there are ones that do matter, that should come standard only. The Mustang GT is one of them.
Anyways, did anyone notice that the 2008 Focus Coupe comes with Pirelli P-Zero Nero's on it? The same tires spec'd on the Mustang GT's with 17" rims, and also one of the highest rated tires in it's class. That looks/sounds half decent.
Again, I think that they are leaving the cars low-key for now, to gauge the buying publics reaction to it. If it does well, then maybe they will release some hi-po versions of them. Either that, or they will leave them plain Jane for a couple years, and release the Euro version (like the Volvo C30), so that the newer version in 2010 seems that much better/refined than the 08-09's.
