No 6 speed Mustangs yet.

I think the V6 Mustang auto is a 5 speed, right? The 5 speed auto in the V8 is actually a very nice, smooth transmission--completely unrelated to the "transmission" that they "installed" in the 2004 Mustang V6 that I rented back in July.

Drove it about 7 miles from the airport to the office in jammed traffic on the Palmetto, so no real feel for it. However, it wasn't able to keep me from getting lost....

I feel like I'm sitting in a sea of plastic.
