Ford Offers Glass Roof Mustangs

Posted August 07, 2008 8:18 AM

From Crave: The gadget blog:

Here's some bright news to go with your daily dose of bad these days. It may sound like sacrilege, but owners of new Ford Mustangs may actually have a chance to look cooler than Steve McQueen while driving. The $1,995 factory-installed panoramic glass-roof option that Ford announced last December is now available on its 2009 V-6 and GT models, the company announced Wednesday. From the photos, this really looks like more than just your typical moonroof. Not only will the glass roof look cool, it might also help you stay cool. Ford claims that the specially tinted glass actually "reduces energy used by the vehicle's air conditioning system by 20 percent." Those of you lucky enough to live in a state where sun is a serious issue will also be glad to know that the roof comes with a built-in roller blind.

How crazy, simply crazy.

As far as "Ford donating to that Cancer Charity", remember each of those $500 donations, are totally tax-deductible.

Kind Regards....

And your point is?

I don't really care if it's a cheap publicity stunt, thats $500 that the charity wouldn't get. I'm fed up with the cynicism over charity donations. I know! Lets take $500 of the price of the car, but tell the costumer they can make a voluntary donation instead! How much would the charities get then?
