I'm speaking the obvious, but Ford's production planning/timing is horrible. I thought that was the one thing that was supposed to be corrected?
Ford is saying all the right things, but we have yet to see any of these wonderful new engines & designs.

Just for the record, the 2010 Mustang goes into production this upcoming February 2009, and should arrive at dealerships by around April/May !

Job 1 is 02/02/09, so if there are no delays the '10 Stang should be on dealer lots in March.

Right now, the GDI V6 is for the new Lincoln and then it will work its way into other cars. 2010MY Goal.

Yes I was a victim.. 3 transmission overhauls within 10K miles. Unbelievable quality.

With all these different types of 5.0s being rumoured I cant understand what will be more likely included in the 2010. If Job 1 is 02/02/09, does that mean that it will have a 5.0, or just a carry over 4.6? Also will this new engine have the same 3v or will it be a 4v? Last time I checked, word had it to be a 4v.. so is it a 3v now?
