I live less then a mile from the Ford test track, research and development, and the experimental vehicles building. I see these camo vehicles pretty much every day... Anyways, I decided to put some rollar blades on and head that way with my digital camera to see If any 2010's were driving around. Obviously you can't see in the test track or experimental building, but everything else is pretty open with a main road that goes down the middle. So I just rolled down the main road (Oakwood blvd) with camera in hand. Didn't see anything on the way there (except a bunch of what looked like Fusions wrapped in camo, but could have been Mondeo's or something) Well at this point I figured I wasted a bunch of time, untill I heard the groan of a Mustang engine. I looked up and there it was 2010 (white with the black dots) exiting the test track area (about a 1/2 short block from me) He really punched it and I couldn't catch up... Something about a V8 vs Rollarblades 
Anyways, to make a long story short I missed the shot, but you better believe I'll be there tomorrow 
Oh, It was cool to se in person

Yeah future powerplants aside....
I am going by gut reaction and I know I haven't seen it in full production trim with regular paint, etc....
But it just didn't grab me the way the silver with white stripe S197 did when i first saw it back in 03/04 in the auto show pics

. I was holding out on getting FI to see how the new one looks.

Thanks for keeping me motivated, even though I saw one today.. I almost got discouraged after almost falling at an intersection, then I got stung by a bee 
(not fun BTW, my arm still has a stinging feeling) But if I get some pictures out of the deal, it will be worth it

Its all starting to peice together nicely isnt it. I like the everything so far with the exception of the rear end, somthings just not right. hopefully there will be a ducktail or new spoiler to make it blend better into that short deck to complete the "fastback" look etc.
Also, looks like ford cant quite understand we hate the ride height and/or wheels that dont fill
up the wheel wells. But, Im more optimistic now after seeing this pic. Im sure there are more good things that have yet to be revealed.
Great front end, with fogs, new hood and hips. bring on the 5.0 and lets roll with it....

Same here bud, but I also envy the concave tail panel! That looks sweet!!!
I am really impressed with this design! That said, I will enjoy my car (I LOVE MY CAR), and save my pennies (once its paid off in a year or so) so I can have the All-New 2014 Mustang (total redesign & re-engineered, including chassis), with the 50th Anniversary Package option!! THAT is the next Mustang I want!!

The one thing I am not likeing right now is the fact that the green house didn't change. I know why, it is dam expensive to change that part but I don't think it fits well with the body changes. That is from what we have seen so far.
I think this is one case where the VERT will look really awsome and even better that the Hard top.

I went from being excited a week ago to realizing it isn't going to be my taste. I was so ready for a streamlined mustang just like the Giugiaro concept. I find the 2010 to be box-e still and I dislike the new interior designs. I thought the Giugiaro concept was alittle out there when I first saw it. But after my excitment for the 2010 brought me back to looking at the photos of the concept...I am MORE excited over the concept then the 2010 release....sad sad sad. Let me know where to sign on the bottom line for a Giugiaro concept... I may not have a trunk, but I'll still be happy with it 
The tacky interior would have to go as well, but thats easy to fix. I sooo want one! The camaro looks more like the concept then the 2010 mustang! All they did was change the body panels...try starting with the frame ford!?
Forget the 2010, im going to get a 2009 and start the mods I guess

Well they always said that 2010 was not a completely new design - that doesn't happen until what - 2012 I think?
And the Guigaro concept was always tagged as being a design test and not the Ford 2010 concept
But I do find it interesting the different reactions on both sides of the fence from what we have seen. Will be real interesting to see the first one with regular paint, etc....

Well I feel better about the coupe pics only because the shoulders/hips/haunches are evident and the bodysides look okay. However the ugly sickle shaped taillamps have to go. I don't even mind as much that they turn up on the ends, but they come to a down point then turn up towards the decklid. Very awkward and unattractive. If the only looked more like the Jalopnik pics where the bottom of the taillamps goes straight accross even with the bottom of the decklid until it makes the turn up towards the quarter panel ends. The rear deck badge is too big. It looks like someone mounted a commemorative dinner plate on the back.
The turn signals inboard of the headlamps make it crowded and unecessarily cluttered. With the sidmarkers still looking like slightly abbreviated versions of the current model, they should have left well enough alone and left the headlamp area uncluttered.
Overall, the front and rear details could have been a lot more creative and attractive.

Just suppose in late 2004 Ford had announced that there would be two different 2005 Mustangs sold side-by-side in 2005 and continuing. One of the 2005 Mustangs would be the current S197 as we know it, and this one. I think the current S197 would have outsold this one by four-to-one, maybe five-to-one, and possibly six-to-one. Both are nice, but the current S197 is tasteful, sleek, purposeful, and frankly beautiful. The 2010 is clearly closely-related to the current S197, but there seems to be too many styling gimmicks--hideous front turnsignals in the headlight bezels (about as gimmicky as it can get), a Shelby-ish grille (which we've seen on every Shelby for several years now), and "styling" for stylings sake in the taillights and that dreadful Chevy Avalanche roadkill cladding panel at the bottom of the rear bumper. Hurl and hurl some more!!!
Leave the roadkill cladding to Pontiacs, Avalanches, and Elements!!! Didn't the Aztek--cough, hack, wheeze--have cladding at the bottom of its rear bumper just like this?
I can say this--if the 2010 Mustang had been the 2005, and the 2005 had been the 2010--we'd all be on our hands and knees right now giving devout thanks and praise to our various deities that the
Supreme Being(s) of your choice had saved the Mustang at last! Confess ye sinners, thou knowest thou would! Or something sorta King Jamesy like that...
