Sales of the Mustang are up 47 percent through the end of May over what they were last year before the redesign. The redesigned car is selling better than Chrysler's popular 300 sedan. It also is outselling 13 brands, including Scion, Saturn, Mercedes-Benz and Subaru. (http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosinsider/0506/27/0auto-229229.htm)

"Demand for the 2005 model has already been filled from a production standpoint," says Jim Owens, marketing manager for Mustang. "We haven't seen anything like this for Mustang in recent history."

The Mustang buzz is so hot, in fact, it's even helping boost the price of used 2003 and 2004 models from before the redesign. Kelley Blue Book says used values have been up as much as $1,000 at auction as dealers scramble to have something on their lots to offer customers if they can't provide a new model.

This is Julie Boombotz. I can tell you I love the new mustang. If I was out on the market to get a new car that would be the one I would have to look at. Mustang convertable GT. There sweet looking. So this is no surprise to me. I expect the woman will want one even more than a man.

Still patiently waiting to see the SVT version, or "Shelby 500" or whatever they're calling it. I'm betting it's gonna run like smokin' oak. :burn:

Good for Ford... pat on the back for everyone on the new Mustang team. They hit a home run with this one and their sales are more than deserved. It was time to kill that Fox platform once and for all.
