Maybe it's just me, but thats a good looking car. The interior is GREAT, a vast improvement over the current version.

...and answers the question of "it's retro, what will they do next?" that people were asking in 2005.

I'm still not a huge fan of the new style, but I think this one is okay. It's not a step backwards.

I guess I was expecting more to differentiate it from the current Mustang. The rear hips and tail lights look good. Not as big a fan of the heavy plastic around the nose and fog lamps.

The Mustang fans will probably like the '10. I see the Camaro design as better in every regard, including interior.

The little tweaks are definetly nice, but if anything, they highlight the overall blockiness of the body.

IMO, it should have looked like that too being with, especially the interior.

Interior is better. Rear (exterior) is okay. Don't like the front nose, looks squished.

Any news on engine/drivetrain changes?

Interior looks better, and I like the glass roof. Not really new, just updated, but better than the 1999 update. I like those tail lights.

I saw that wow. looks like the rs camaro might be reigning that pony in too. How can the 4.0 v6 mustang only have 210?! I see a lot of stolen camaro cues in that car.

Much better!!

Good Ph.D is right. It should have looked like that from the start.

The hips and kick-up in the quarters really give some definition and interest to the profile of the car. The thinner front end is way better, too. The current front end is too thick and blunt.

Still not crazy about the dash, but it does have a real nav system.

Well, it doesn't have 400hp... that ought to shut a few people up.

Now we just need to know how much it weighs...

Well they've gone in a completely different direction in advertising compared to GM and the Camaro. Showing the V8 and big smokey burnouts. GM needs to answer back with the SS. Enough with the RS V6, gas is cheap again.
