Moosetang Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) TMS user fvcrew22 merges 2 of the Mustang teaser pics to give a pretty good view of the 2010 'Stang's interior: Looks pretty cool!

PREMiERdrum Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Love the angle of the armrest/handle on the door panels. The design language is MUCH more cohesive than the '05 from what we've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robfil Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 :angry: Where is the center armrest? It is a step backwards in my opinion without it. Is the dash top still hard black plastic? What I do not like about the current Mustang is the hard plastic door panels and dash top. I also prefer the dash match the rest of the interior. I am not planning on replacing my '06 GT for what I've seen of the '10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leather padded dash and door panels are optional on current mustangs; at the very least I'd presume they'd be available on the new ones. The door in this picture looks like it has leather padding.

PREMiERdrum Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 A bit about the console / armrest... The whole console looks higher to me, and the back portion looks to be the padded, rubbery material like the current console lid. In this iteration, the top of the lid is flush with the rest of the console, instead of being raised off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The door in this picture looks like it has leather padding. The IP is not hard plastic anymore so I do not see it being wrapped in leather. There will be leather inserts in the door panels on some models. I told you guys the door panels were an evolution and steps ahead of the 05-09 door panel in design. Although it is still the same material. I love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02MustangGT Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 So the door panel plastic material remains "hard"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosetang Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 So the door panel plastic material remains "hard"? Well, I pushed on my monitor to see if I could feel the picture but all I did was dent the plasma screen. Guess we'll have to wait to find that one out.

02MustangGT Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Haha, too funny Moosestang. Unfortunately for you and your sarcasm, I was responding to wildosvt since he works for Ford (or a supplier) and seems to know something about the IP and door panel materials.

Yes basicly the same material on the doors. It has a more upscale feel to it overall though. Looks killer IMHO.

I am not planning on replacing my '06 GT for what I've seen of the '10. It seems that a center armrest would be a good idea. It isn't hard or expensive to even make it a height/ position adjustable type either. I like the top of the dash as is though. Um..... will the next Mustang's map pockets in the door be able to ACTUALLY hold maps? The 05+'s map pockets are ~5% too small to hold your average map! DUH!

RichardJensen Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I like the rendering, of course only four-legged animals and toddlers are going to see the Mustang's interior from that angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would trade my 06 gt in a heartbeat for an '10 gt, espeacially with the nav. system and rear view camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Ford should consider all the details! sorry! i was kinda joking about that one! it is a very nice system with the sync system. ford definitely put more detail into the interior in the'10 model. i've driven the car and am very impressed. the center console is very similar to the new camaro in reference to the armrest comment. there are few options that you find only on upper end cars.

Blueblood Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 the seats are also a big improvement! In material quality only. too many complainers on this forum for not knowing what the hell their talking about! No, too many trolls like you, I see you've never been in an 05+ Mustang, the seats while being comfortable, lack side bolstering especially in the shoulder area where there is none. I've driven the car on a race track, and been in friends cars on mountain roads, the car is capable of generating some really high g forces, and it needs good seats to keep you from flailing about the cabin. I don't know of any other performance car that uses such flat, un-supportive seats. It wouldn't be so bad if you could just bolt in some aftermarket seats, but the side airbags are built into the seat. So I suggest you take your own advice.. wait and see before bitchin! I see the same seat that's been used since 05 in the lowly V6, so STFU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would trade my 06 gt in a heartbeat for an '10 gt, espeacially with the nav. system and rear view camera. No, I would not prefer a wood dash in a Mustang. What I was talking about is the HARD plastic on the doors and dash top. My last Mustang (04) had padded doors and the dash top was a soft material of the same color as the rest of the interior. My 99 ZX2 had a very rich interior compared to either Mustang. I do not like the current trend of most cars having a black dash top. My Mustang has the IUP and the padded door inserts, but many do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about the center arm rest, I believe it needs one (or at least a higher(?) softer one, from what pics show me). Did anybody notice that the center console angle/shape seems to follow the door armrest shape? I do not like the current trend of most cars having a black dash top. I think most are doing it because it reduces glare on the windshield....w/ a tan dash (or other color), there's a lot more glare than w/ a black dash top. Personally, I like that look, but to each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I like that look, but to each his own. The rear of the console is the same height as the old one. The only difference is that instead of having a 1" step down from the armrest cover to the cupholder, it flows down without interruption. I am personally glad to see black contrasting surfaces on certain parts of the interior. It is a welcome relief from the monotonous and anonymous beige and gray we have been subjected to for the past decade or so. I also appreciate classic 70's style chamois and dove gray as opposed to fleet issue beige and gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok....I obviously don't know what it's like yet, but it appears like the center armrest is gonna be hard even if it is the right height, so it could at least use some padding (of course maybe it is soft?) I too like the contrast look, but I prefer tan interiors with black inserts (or maybe lighter inserts, like on 04 Expys). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
