📰 Auto News 11,000 Have Ordered New Mustang

The 2011 Ford Mustang didn’t get a redesign, yet interest in it has spiked nevertheless. Ford says that 11,000 customers have already ordered the ’11 Mustang, which is three times — three times! — the number of advanced orders the last model had before its launch.

Ford decided to attribute this to the Mustang’s improved fuel efficiency. The V-6 shows some fairly impressive mileage gains, with a combined EPA rating of 30 mpg without sacrificing performance. This is a 25% improvement over the last model, and Ford says orders for the V-6 have shot up 19% over last year. All this with 305 horsepower under the hood.

Special packages, such as the Mustang Club of America Special Edition and the California Special, have also seen a bump in sales numbers that have exceeded Ford’s expectations.

The base model ’11 Mustang starts at $22,145 and goes on sale this spring.

Yeah, 300 hp for 23K isn't affordable? 29K for 400hp? More some people just need to stop expecting so much value for their worthless american dollar .

But back on topic, this is great news for Ford and and American economy. I checked out the Ford display and was very much impressed by what they brought out and how they showed it.
