2009 Mustang
Just came up on leftlane news ... spy shots of the 09 mustang. not much can be seen but it should help fuel the speculation that has been running rampant.

Did you notice the fogs in the grill?
It appears that this is a regular GT with a new front clip and possibly hood. I noticed that it does not have hips like it the new is suppose to.

The raised hood shares similarities with the '03 Cobra test mule hood.

At first glance, it seems to be only subtle tweaks from the current car, not a radical departure. Fogs are still visible through the grille opening in the camo and the hood bulge seems more pronounced. Other observations are that the front appears to have more angles or creases particularly at the corners. Final observation is that the front bumper is less pronounced and seems closer to being flush with the grille, although not completely. However, some of that can certainly be attributed to the camo masking the difference in visual depth.

With all the padding in that cover its hard for me to tell what is hood and what is from the cover.
One thing i did notice was that the headlight openings seem to retain the forward lean rather than taking on the sweapt up and back look of the italian concept (which seems to be what all cars have now). It also appears that they are a little more angled as in the red concept in (motortrend?).
No idea about it being a powertrain test mule, though I dont know why they would need to mask anything off if it was just a test for that. Wouldnt it be easier to just put the new powertrain in a plain jane 2006 that no one would ever notice?

Jaguar did the same thing for the next S-Type:

It could very well be an engine mule for the 2010, or maybe even an s/e for the 2009
The biggest thing to catch my attention is the bulge on the hood, perhaps they are experimenting with dropping in the next-gen Boss motor.

This could very well be an early, early 2010 Mule
Keep in mind, the first 2005 mules were spotted in 2002 as hacked-up SN95 Mustangs. The first fully camoflaugued bodies were out in the summer of 2003, a full two years before start of production.
Oh yeah... that article has the timeline totally wrong, its been confirmed through many sources that the car is coming out for 2010

looks to me more like that snub-nosed version from the cover of one of those magazines from a while back...
i'm hoping it's nothing more than a motor mule...

is this the same story on Leftlane news?

I Have No Life
I see the link from the main page
Looks interesting.
Seems theres still spots for the fogs,
so theres probably a bigger grille opening than on the Guigiaro, which doesn't seem to have room for those large fogs.
Also has more of a crease/lip in the front bumper where the Italian Stallion is smooth all the way down...

I don't know about you guys, but I hate the orange concept and absolutely hope that the redesign looks nothing like it. I mean entirely to each their own, but I think the orange concept is gross and does nothing to represent the mustang.
