what are you basing this comment on? (the new 6cyl motors being junk)

i cannot imagine the mpg being that drastic between the 8 and 6 that it really justifies not buying one simply because of a few bucks every week. however, i do not know the numbers exactly or what your driving style is. if you prefer the 05 look go for it. the 05 redesign is a love it or hate it kind of thing, you can see here a lot of people will say go for the 99-04 just because they don't like the look of the new ones. but it is for you not them to drive.

the 6 gets a little better milage, but you dont only save a few bucks a week, its also $5k cheaper.

I think I like the v6 because it IS a cheaper car.I am not into the big motor thing as I dont know anything about motors.But I do like the look of the 05 and up.I must admit that the older ones are nice,too.I'm looking for the low miles and something a little sporty to vamp up my MOM image.Also,my hubby just bought a Titan and that is freaking me out a little.....so,I'm just looking at mustangs cause I think they look great and have a good reputation.It may be months before I get one.I am a thinker / researcher,amybe to the extreme.Thanks for all the info anf the advice!
