“Mustang enthusiasts are not shy about telling us what they want” - Melanie Banker

Melanie Banker, Mustang marketing manager “we’re constantly exploring ideas together with our engineering team to develop new features we know our customers will love. These new hood vent indicators for the GT model are a perfect example of us communicating customer feedback to Mustang engineers and the team responding with an exclusive new feature for owners of the 2016 Mustang GT.”

Speaking of the changes, Ford is now offering the turn indicators on the hood as standard equipment of the 2016 Ford Mustang GT - an inspiration borrowed from the 1967 Ford Mustang.
