Going strictly on appearance, I like the 2010 Mustang. I haven't really cared for the current (2005-09) body shell, as going retro with the Mustang is a waste. Unlike the Challenger, the Mustang's production has been continuous. To me, it should show evolution, not a return to the past. And although its production was interrupted for a few years, I think the same thing of the Camaro.

 

The 5.0 mod motor comes out in 2011. Kind of stupid to carry over the 281 for one year in the new design but O' well.


Not really a "blue" color on a car but grabber blue!!

Honestly how do people know the 5.0 is going to be here in the first place? And how do they know it's 400hp? Has Ford officially commented?

 

It's definitely an improvement, just not enough of a change. They definitely went a little more towards the sporty side with it. The interior is better in some places but the center controls look a little weird with the trapezoid shape. I like the center console area though, they definitely took a page from the RX8, not sure if it stretches all the way to the back though. I'm also wondering if it'll be a decent arm rest or not.

 

who knows if any of these car companies will even be around in 2010 never mind 2011

 

I like it. But who does their wheels. They always look horrible. I like the Cobra-Rs but other than that the wheels are terrible.

In a live shot on Speed the drfter guy was asked how he liked the new stang changes and he did not have a thing to say after a dead spell he said well they changed the lines on the car HUMMMMM he was impressed

 

Yep just a minor refresh overall. They took the current car and gave it a bit more modern look while still maintaining some of the "retro" qualities.

On the bright side my resale value may not take the dive it was headed for next year.
