FORD TO INCREASE MUSTANG PRODUCTION TO MEET RUNAWAY CONSUMER DEMAND
* Ford will increase Mustang production to 192,000 in 2005
* 2005 Mustang is the hottest-selling car in the industry
* Nearly one out of every two sports cars sold in U.S. is a Mustang
What's an auto company to do when demand for a hot model exceeds supply? Give the customers what they want.
Ford today announced that it will take production of the hot new Mustang to more than 192,000 units in 2005 an increase of more than 70 percent, or 80,000 units, from the previous year.
"Ford Mustang is the hottest car in the industry, and its performance on the street and in the showrooms is beating everyone's expectations," says Steve Lyons, Ford Division president. "Sales are up more than 45 percent over last year, and V-8 GT and convertible model demand is so strong that we haven't been able to build enough.
We're planning to increase production well beyond what was initially planned. This will allow us to sell 160,000 &endash; 165,000 Mustangs in the U.S. this year."
Sales and Share Gains
Since its launch in the fall of 2004, the new model Mustang has been an instant sensation with new car buyers. Sales of the 2005 model, coupled with the sell-down of the prior model, have sent overall Mustang sales to record levels every month since launch.
The higher-end Mustang GT V-8 models are in short supply, and the much anticipated new convertible model is just beginning to arrive at dealerships in time for spring. Traditionally, May and June are the hottest selling months for convertible models.
In the key U.S. market, overall Mustang sales are up more than 45 percent on a retail basis over last year, a feat accomplished without the support of the convertible model, which traditionally accounts for one-third of overall Mustang volume. Based on the current sales trajectory, Ford expects to sell about 160,000 &endash; 165,000 Mustangs in the U.S. for the 2005 calendar year. In Canada, where Mustang was named 2005 Canadian Car of the Year, sales continue their triple-digit month-after-month rise, topping records set more than a decade ago.*/ /*

That does not surprise me, i wish they would go ahead and set a realease date for the shelby GT500 and a cost. Or even see whats the outlook for other SVT products. Seems like they are still staying with "putting all the eggs in one basket" deal.

Well from my day of drooling on the 2005 gt yellow with all options even the shaker radio....(thanks to graves for letting me drive it)...The cars looks are one of the best I have seen, as far as the int. its a little bit basic and no drinks in the cup holders behind the shifter lol.Went to shift elbow hit the 12 oz can.Shifter feels good easy to find gears and low at a good location.
On to the performance department, Clutch felt really well easy to launch slip and grabs hard! Well the motor felt a little slugish as if the car was really heavy until the 3rd valve kicked in about 4k rpms.Car pulls hard in the rpm range also its geared pretty well , feels like the headers mufflers are holding it back.
All in all a very fun car to drive daily driver and pure sports car!

damn i knew they were doing good. but not that good!
LOL no no, I am not a GTO fan I mean. GM has no current answer for the mustang IMO. The GTO interior is awesome, but too heavy and looks like a figgin grand-am?? I poke fun where it needs to be poked. At least th 05 has more hp and a little bit better apperance, sigh! See I am not narrow minded the only GM that i really want is a vette(sports car wise).
