Uh, the pony is always updated with every new model. It was changed in 1994, 2005, and again now in 2010. Its part of the tradition.

Actually, the 2010 has more defined sharper features, like the original 1964 1/2 than the "smooth" look of the 2005-09:

1964 1/2

I'l say it again there is no reason to change or update an iconic symbol. Most people just like change just to see something new. There is true beauty in the horse thats been running wild since 65. A true classic should remain true period! Nothing is sacred anymore what a joke.

Are you not reading what people are saying? It's already been changed multiple times. This is not a new phenomenon. Regardless, it's really not changed enough to make a big fuss about.

Have you read one response to your whining yet? It has already changed multiple times before now. Deal with it.

Even Ford has changed the Blue Oval emblem over the years... Chevy has changed and refined the Corvette emblem many times...

Look how many times the Tbird emblem changed over the generations... They were all beautiful and represented the form and design language of each incarnation... The Mustang pony has not changed all that much over the years but the changes have been subtle. The 2010 really makes it edgier and more defined so it's the most changed. Also, lets not forget the pony that appeared on the 2004 Concept Car. It was interesting as an outline silhouette but I simply did not want to see it replace the full on chrome pony.

True, true. I really was not a fan of the silhouette Mustang emblem. Something like that might be worth whining about...

OK, thank you. I thought I was the only one who couldn't figure out why he wasn't understanding.

I don't dislike it.
To me it looks like a well fed horse. More rounded, meatier. I'm not sure that translates to muscular.
The other which is more like the original, looks more like a wild 'Mustang' lean and mean.

Although I think Ford should not change the classical logo that came with the 1st Mustang in 1964, I must admit.. the 2010 pony logo is really nice

At least they are not changing the basic design of the pony logo.. some touches will not hurt
