"The wheels suck"

hahah thats funny...
THey always use those wheels on concepts...
They aren't the 2010s wheels...

Infact...
It's not really a 2010 at all...
its just the prototype for Ford Accessories new front end BRA to eliminate paint chips on the sucky paint.
(sense the sarcasm) :P

 

gt500kr test mule? big bulg on the hood and lights, ahh i give up...i just wanna know if its got more power lol

 

I would have to agree with George. Being that the only pieces disguised are the hood and front bumper I would guess this is a disguise for the new Bullitt or Boss. Probably a powertrain mule as well if either is going to get a new engine. Didn't Ford say the only panel not going to be changed in 09 is the roof?

 

Short answer...yes

 

Jeeze I hope it has nothing to do with Giugiaro. Hes been penning the same stupid shapes for every 'design' he has had since the early 80's.

 

Greenhouse..

Then again a lot can change, but that's the last I read

 

Heh that pony was rode hard and put away wet....

I still think this gen is somewhat of a 'magic' balance of not succumbing to any trend in modern cars and being pure in simple because its what it is supposed to be. I think the next refresh might get a little gimmicky/trendy.

 

my wish has been granted, thank you boomer i can now live happy knowing i will need to buy tires...more tires in my future, because i have half of the current gt premium cost...saved in my bank, i pinch pennies,buy/sell junk im going to own the nxt gen mustang, i will...lol i need to go for a drive

 

Looks like the fogs sit higher in the grill, or at least in realtion to the headlights. Hope it's just an illusion, I like the current car's all-in-line look when the fogs are on.

 

Forum member "Topnotch" showed an attachment of a drawing of the 09/10 Mustang. I know somebody who saw the new Stang up in Detroit, and Topnotch's attachment is close to what the car is going to look like. Its off in some areas, but its in the ballpark. The hood isn't that extreme, the tail lights aren't correct in the drawing, and the hip line what I've been told isn't as high. The front end to no surprise will look more related to the Shelby GT500, and there is a dash/interior change as well.

 

MR MODS can you put the two 2009 threds together?

 

Yes sir...merged...

 

Put it to you this way,
I'm not spending any more on my 05....

 

It looks very similar to some of the concept drawings that were posted a few months ago.

 

That concept looks good, i just hope they don't go to far away from the "retro" look.

 

Follow the jump for an interview with Fabrizio Giugiaro, during which he confirms (at about 1:05) that the styling cues employed by the Giugiaro concept will find their way onto future Mustangs.

 

If the 08 was getting a new front end... I think they would have shown it at Detroit...

 

Minor FES (front end sheetmetal) change is what I was told by someone who saw it at Cobo.

 

It would not make sense for changes now when the makeover is a couple of years away.

 

It would not make sense for a major American automaker to allow their fortunes to slip so far as to have to mortgage their factories to stay in business, either.

Point being, I don't think we know for sure WHAT we're looking at in those pics.
