The 2018 mustang configuration and price is now !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . They seem like they are less of a bargain than the beginning of this decade.
45K- Yikes.
Ford makes you get the performance package if you want magnetic ride. Also makes you get some tech package for the active exhaust.

I spec’d an 18 to match my 15 and it came out $4k more expensive.

there’s something discordant about selecting $8,600 in options then grumbling about the final price of the car.

I did a GT Performance Pack with nothing else, and it was right at $40,000.

Considering a 2018 ecoboost will trounce a 2008 GT in every category, not so shocking.

That’s something that’s been building for a while now.
People complain that their $20k V8 has less power than a Euro car of similar displacement. So power increases and increases the cost as well. Now people are complaining that the interior doesn’t live up to the costs, so interior gets better at an increased cost. Now it’s handling doesn’t compare to sports cars that are similarly priced, so handling is upgraded at an increased cost. Pretty soon, we’ll have a Mustang GT that compares to an M3 in performance as well as price.
Personally, I’d like an affordable and basic V8 powered RWD coupe with around 350hp. I don’t see it happening again any time soon though.

Now this is weird. I spec’d an 18 f-150 spec for spec with my dads 15 and it came out $2k cheaper

The base price is about in line with inflation. The Mustang GT has always been at the 30,000-something price point when that’s taken into account. R&D isn’t free.
It also doesn’t help that you’re buying like 8k in options though. Did you at least spec the Recaro seats? :D

Not necessarily when you take inflation into account - the Miata, for instance, stickers for less than it did in 1989.

True, Car & Driver shows a 1990 Miata listed at $17,168. Using the BLS inflation calculator, that is about $33,000 today. A new Miata is $24,915 per Mazda’s website. But, $24,915 is still more expensive than $17,168.

I could live with a leftover base model gt for 28k. I’m not really sure why they added anything to the base, making it even less of a bargin than it was to begin with

On the top end, cars offer more options than ever before.
You can double the price of a Porsche with options.

Yep... I am glad that I pulled the trigger on the ‘17 GT this spring. I wasn’t especially giddy over some of the rumored updates to the ‘18 - some of which were true, some of which weren’t - and I was able to get my ‘17 exactly the way I wanted it, in stock from a local dealer, and it had never even been out on a customer test drive. Now that the price and specs for the ‘18 have been released, I am even happier that I got exactly what I wanted for the price I paid. I know I don’t make a ton of money, but the price of the base GT was at the limits of my comfort zone for a car... I probably wouldn’t have bought a GT if I had waited until next year.
