I believe there's a whole demographic out there that would be interested in a Mustang if they could get past the low-rent interior.

AND...there's a loyal fan base "demographic" that would leave. There is one guy on the IMBOC board who has spent enough on a Bullitt Mustang (mods) to have bought a pair of BMW M3's and have enough left over for a stock Mustang...but that's not what he wants.
Oh well...some like Mustangs over Mercs and BMW's...some of those in Mercs and BMW's will never understand that.
