<center>AMERICAN IDOL SUPERSTAR DRIVES HOME IN NEW FORD MUSTANG; TO REVEAL CONVERTIBLE AT LA AUTO SHOW</center>

"Diana DeGarmo is the perfect artist to celebrate the reveal of the long awaited Mustang convertible," said Marty Collins, Ford Division general marketing manager. "Diana captures Mustang's style and excitement plus she has genuine appreciation for the car as one of our newest owners."

Good news. I'll have to see it in person before I decide coupe/convertible. While I don't care for the roofline in pictures you never know what it will look like in person. There is absolutely no greater stress relief from a hard day at the office then dropping the top, slamming the gas at the top of the highway ramp and go baby go.

I didn't even know she was old enough to drive. How is she the perfect artist. lol Maybe Hank Williams, Jr., Steven Tyler or Lenny Kravitz singing "I just want to fly" cruising down the road with the top down.

Ford should have used Bob Seger. He's from Michigan (Ann Arbor), and has even written and performed songs about Ford Vehicles. The song was Making Thunderbirds. Of course, GM might have issues with this since they use "Like a Rock". :scratch:

I would think Toby Kieth or Alan Jackson would be better artists. Considering they are both Ford fans and have been in numerous commercials/endorcements. A lot of Toby Kieth's music videos have ford products in them.

- you beat me to the punch on that one. That line about her being the right person for the car made me laugh, alright - in reality, this DeGarmo chick is the 'perfect sponsor' because:
(A) - Ford is a sponsor of the IDOL show
and
(B) Ford KNOWS that the tried and true Mustang fans would and will buy the new Pony without even ONE TV commercial on the air. Using her, they can go after a younger audeince who doesn't know the Mustang and its heritage all that well.
