"The new Mustang, thanks to a wheelbase extended by six inches, has dramatically increased interior space. The industry-first, color configurable intrument panel offers the ultimate in personalization. Mustang owners can mix and match lighting at the touch of a button to create more than one background to suit their personality, mood, outfit or whim. It is available in V6 Deluxe and Premium and GT Deluxe and Premium. The GT is powered by a 300-horsepower V8. Options include side-seat mounted air bags, interior upgrade package with satin aluminum trim, 5-speed automatic transmission, wheel locks, 17-inch cast aluminum wheels (GT only), Active Theft System and front-seat mounted side curtain air bags."

Just nit-picking, but you'd think that they would call it Active ANTI-Theft System. It might not be a misnomer considering how easily my old '93 Mustang was stolen. Who knows? Maybe the new colorful instrument panel will mesmerize and trap potential thieves.
