The current generation of Ford’s deep-green, 480-horsepower , the , is back for another model year without any major changes—aside from a couple of numbers, that is. The 2020 Mustang Bullitt will run a buyer $47,810, or about $1,200 more than the last one.

You were hoping those numbers would be spec related, weren’t you? Darn.

reported the news on Wednesday, which a Ford spokesperson later confirmed to Jalopnik: That the content in the 2020 Bullitt will be carry-over from the 2019 model year, but that its base price will go up from $46,595 to $47,810 before Ford’s $1,095 —a bump of $1,215 for nothing more than a change in the model year, because we’re all suckers for a nostalgic purchase and a round number.

At their core, the current-generation Bullitts get 480 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque from a 5.0-liter V8, paired with only one transmission option: a six-speed manual. But even Ford’s $50,000 movie car has optional packages, meaning both of their prices are nothing more than a starting point.

It only takes a click of the toggle between the past model year and current one on any automaker’s build configurator to know that prices go up from year to year even if there isn’t new equipment in a car, but it often feels less significant than $1,200. The base Mustang Ecoboost Fastback went from $25,680 in 2018 to $26,395 this year, for example, which is a more digestible $715 price increase.

But when we’re in the $50,000, movie-car range, $1,215 probably doesn’t mean much in the long run anyway. Plus, it’s always so much cooler to say that your car is part of a model year from the future—until it isn’t anymore.

Batman Movies Always Cast The Perfect Car For Bruce Wayne
Car casting in movies is very hit or miss, if you’ll please excuse the pun. Sometimes the choice of car is perfect for the role, like the E34 in Ronin, and sometimes even James Bond struggles to find the right car, like his 1987 Lincoln Mark VII LSC in...

I'm Hearing Reports That F9 Might Actually Be Good
It used to be very important to have a movie critic, or a set of movie critics, that you trusted. Because, at heart, movie reviews are service journalism, in that I need to know if paying $15 and spending two hours in a theater is a good use of...

Hot Wheels Unleashed Is Way Prettier Than A Toy Car Game Has Any Right To Be
Like any budding gearhead, I had bunch of Hot Wheels growing up. Too many, in fact. Small Sterilite containers full of the things. I was proud of my collection, but in retrospect, I cost my parents a small fortune in diecasts. Back in my day, you couldn’t just like...

This Is The 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback And Yes It Comes With A Stick Shift
The 2022 Honda Civic sedan looks like a solid improvement over its predecessor, except there’s one problem: The manual transmission is gone, leaving only a continuously variable transmission.
