Post 2010 Ford Mustang badge unveiled





http://www.autoblog.com/2008/0...badge

The countdown to the 2010 Ford Mustang debut has begun, and it looks like Ford can't wait to show us what the car looks like just as much as we can't wait to see it. Today it released an image of the new 2010 Mustang badge, hinting that its edgier design gives clues as to what the rest of the car will look like. Ford says its designers spent hours researching photographs of horses to give the new Mustang logo a more realistic feel, and we think it paid off. The new pony looks more defined and muscular, and it even got a cool new haircut! We've been anxiously waiting to see what direction Ford will take the retro design of the new Mustang, and if the logo is anything to go by then we shouldn't be worried.

It looks sharper than the old badge. I like it.

Right about that! They need the Mustang to be as beefed up and chizzled as the new logo. Not to mention, it has to perform like the new logo looks like it should.

I'm more interested in the car but I think Ford has known the Camaro was coming and has been in training. I've always enjoyed the Camaro/Mustang rivalry and I think it will be a fun throwdown when these cars meet.

I like the new badge. Mustang sales are down 30% but this car with a 30 year old suspension has hung and while its competition dies and comes back.
Kudos to Ford!
