True, i'd prefer the old style shift gate, but perhaps many new Ford owners will get used to the rocker button in time (muscle memory), the same way I got used to operating the Focus' headlight knob on the lower corner of the dashboard, very different from the stalk mounted controls of the old Corolla I learned to drive in.

PS: The best of course is a traditional manual transmission, too bad this option is dying out and has been relegated to the base trim models.

Ford only offers the paddle shifters to models without the manual transmission. In the case of Mustangs, I doubt that Ford will offer it because paddle shifts are for European brand with high revving engines and very un-american muscle better off stick shift. I have no idea with the Camaro coz I'm pretty sure it comes with paddles.

Those who want manual shifting better stick with greymarket Mustangs.

True for most Ford models I guess, the Fusion for example has a MT option for 1.6 EcoBoost models, but paddle shifters are only available for the AT-only 2.0 EcoBoost models.

The only Fords currently available with paddle shifters happen to be North American developed models like the full-size Taurus SHO, Explorer Sport, Edge Sport and Fusion 2.0 EcoBoost models.

I guess the paddle shifters are for the larger high-end/ sports models, which in most cases don't have a manual option.

The Focus ST, Mustang Boss 302 and Shelby GT500 are only available with a MT.

Perhaps the next gen 2015 Mustang (50th anniversary) might get a paddle shifter option on AT models.
This all-new model will have IRS, and is expected to have a 4-cylinder EcoBoost base engine.

Hoping the Mustang GT 500 will be available here!

Based on current and previous sales reports, Ford sold around 40 Mustangs in September and 45 in October, I guess that means there are now around 85 Mustangs galloping on our streets. :D

Not sure about here, but I think there are some in the FCP forums.

What are the selling prices ?

I have seen a blue convertible (top down) of all the places in Rizal Ave. ext. surrounded by puj emitting black smoke.

I also saw another black coupe counter flowing along Ortigas before Santolan crossing last Sunday late afternoon.
