Im sorry ford...but that reveal was horrid! Would it have killed you to really show the car in detail...you waste most of the hour having bowling shirt dork guy speak about a bunch of nothing...then the main car you bring out,is some non production drift car (that at least doesn't have the black mutton chops)...

Note to ford...get steve jobs to help with your next reveal.

ps: my 16 yo nefew came over,we watched...and he laughed...not good!!!

Okay, so let me get this strait, you call having over 15 of some of the worlds biggest racing legends, over atleast $15 mil in Mustangs piled high, and handing Kory - an iraq war vet- the first set of keys to the new Stang' horrid?

i think your crazy, and i wouldnt call Kory's moment of glory "a bunch of nothing"

.. Just my opinion. I LOVED it.

the car is hideous in person, even though I dont care for it even in pics or in the vids it looks 100 times better on a monitor than it does in person IMO. in person it looks tacky and cheap. the metal even looks like its made out of plastic the way the hip was done....lame!!!

oh and at the unveil they had a 2010 on its side so you can see the underside but the interesting part was that it had a shaker ????

Wow it looks worse in person? I thought it would look better. I thought maybe seeing it in person would change my perception of it.

I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. Personally I thought it was painful to watch. My wife and I laughed through the whole thing. I know about, and appreciate, the careers of the legends that were there; but that's not what the show should have been about. It was called "2010 Mustang Reveal", not "Random Interviews with Mustang Legends in a Poorly Lit Studio - and 5 Minutes with the 2010 Mustang".

Yeah, when you think about it they didn't really show very much of the car.

Did anyone else hear the off camera comment when they came back from the first commercial break? Someone off camera said- I hope it sells.
My wife and I broke out laughing!

I was disappointed with the show. Like others said, they did not focus enough on the cars AT ALL.

I appreciate the time of Mustang racing legends, and was happy to see Kory accept the keys. Besides that...it was not exciting.

Personally, I loved seeing the legends and their machines with the new model. I was driving an '86 GT when Scott and Dorsey were winning with Jack Roush. I feel this event was really aimed at the Mustang fans.

The Kona blue vert GT had the HIDs- they give a very modern look to the car as do the LED tails.

Sure, the Speed Channel director could have given us more shots/pans of the car.

I think the rear bumper is horrid, but I will say it looked better in this live reveal.
