2010 Ford Mustang Revealed
Not Japanese, the front and rear are based on the 1969 Mustang where as the last generation was based on the 1967, I like the progression a lot.

Not bad at all.
About time they made the inside look nice!!!
And as far as the V6 power, I read somewhere that when it is that low in a sports car, the insurance rates stay down which is maybe why?
As far as the V8 it could have more power but in the past it seems like that made the normal V8 stang have reasonable power then they would come out with an SVT or some other edition with the higher HP?
The option for a 400+ HP needs to be there, but many in the market are in the middle and do not want 200 or 400.

Yeah, they really need to get on that.
Should be a base 3.5L at the very least. Even the Fusion is getting their potent 3.5L.
4.0L: 210 HP, 240 Trqs.
3.5L: 263 HP, 249 Trqs (and it gets better gas mileage)
Now, I dunno what they do about their 4.6L V8, given that they have given up it seems on their V8s for their cars. Hmmm....

The replacement for the V-8 is going to be the "Eco-Boost" 3.5 liter V-6. Initial ratings are 340 hp, 340 lb ft of torque. Spin from Ford is V-8 power and V-6 economy. My guess is that there will be a special model for the introduction of this engine.
Since many Mustangs are sold to rental car fleets, I'm not sure that base engine power will have any impact on overall sales.

I guess I'm the only one that really dislikes the big flat plastic panel in the center stack then. I think that looks really cheap. Shiny, flat, *ick*
The rest of the interior looks OK. The exterior is OK, not that big a change from the previous exterior IMO and here's to hoping their 340hp 3.5L V-6 "Ecoboost" engine makes an appearance.
