Some things I noticed:
1. Integrated Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) comes standard on all 2006 Mustangs
2. The new 18" polished-aluminum wheel option. Are the 17" premium-painted cast-aluminum no longer available?
3. The interior color accent package is missing - when comparing to the '05 https://www.fleet.ford.com/showroom/...05-Mustang.asp
bummer for Sonic Blue fans... that "Vista Blue" is no substitute.
Now two flavors of "silver"...
yawn
That is WONDERFUL for sonic blue owners! That means that their car will be more distinct and if kept for a LOOOONG Time, More VALUABLE! :-D!!!!!

Also forgot to add, no more mineral grey. That seems to be a hot color for the 05s.

Looks like those of us with the ICAP option for '05 have something of a collector's item on our hands since it doesn't look like it's going to be offered for '06.

X planned Redfire GT premium 5-speed manual, IUP, ICAP, Side airbags, Active anti-theft, wheel locks..ordered 2/6, pulled for production 2/24, VIN # on 3/18, build date of 3/24...delivered from plant to my dealer on 3/25.....one day after it was built.
WOOT - my 2 new options for 06 I wanted made the list. I'll be at my dealer before they open on May 16th to make sure my 05 order gets converted correctly....
I would have thought that it would have said something about the regular or limited slip axel options I herd about in this fourm.
I also noticed the IUP for the 06 is a little different from the 05. I color coded the 05 and 06 IUPs (sorry for the mess). The 06 is missing what is still in black and itlicized on the 05. Is that Satin aluminum finish Instrument panel applique the chrome dash? and does the 06 have the message center?

Hard to really tell much about what the new colors are actually going to look like from that site -- for example, when I pulled up Legend Lime it really didn't look anything like Legend Lime as I know it.
Although, it's cool to see that color is coming back -- I thought it was going to be an '05 color only?
The Vista Blue looks like it might be real close to the old Grabber Blue (?). But again, it's kind of hard to tell on a website like this.
Hard to tell from the site, it's pretty screwy. When I mouse over windveil blue I get a pic of Sonic Blue and when I mouse over Vista it's windveil color. If you actually click on the color name it loads completely the wrong color after a second.
Anyone know for sure if the ICAP is definitely not being offered for '06? I have been forced to roll over my '05 GT vert order, which was Torch Red with the ICAP. If this is a "for sure", I will probably just order a different color with a charcoal interior. I thought the combo I had on order was really sweet.
