 Rumors on the new ford mustang? |
 |
A friend of mine told me that the new ford mustangs goed to have an all glass top on it. I know nothing about cars or models so I don’t have idea if this is true or not. Does anybody know what she's talking about???

There is a idea car someplace supposedly a 2010 car but nothing is for real. As far as a glass top that is available in the current car its quite costly. I have only seen it on Saleen's they call it Scenic Roof its like 4,000 choice on Saleens.

She's refering to the idea car from the current Mustang.
It was built on the Jaguar X platform, had an all glass roof not a moon roof, but an completely glass roof a bit like the Scion Tc but much nicer
For the production model the two biggest changes were a switch to a much cheaper platform, and the loss of the glass roof which was cost prohibitory. Now that a conv't model is out it should be possible to do the glass roof cheaper same structural increases to keep the frame from warping and the top from collapsing in a flip, but there was no talk of reviving the idea for a normal production Mustang.

They've had some idea cars come and go with this, but the Mustang will never see it. Too many detractors for the core Mustang customer. It adds too much weight glass weighs more than sheet metal, its not as structurally sound as roof supports.
Saleen really offers this exact thing now on the 05+ mustangs and calls it the sports roof or something like that.
