At this point, I don't see them abandoning the Mustang DNA for a long, long time if ever. Particularly where the next generation car is concerned. 50th anniversary and all that.

I'm happy with my '08. I'm not sold on the update but I still think it was a smart move on Ford's part to expand their market. After all, most of the folks who like the 2005-2009 models already own one. There's little point in restyling a car to appeal to that audience.

Not a bad plan. My intention was to wait until 2012 or 2013 and see if an appealing SE shows up. But at that point it might be better to just skip a generation and go for the '14/'15 car. Of course, that will all hinge on whether Ford continues to evolve the classic look for the 21st century, or abandons the retro inspiration and builds something completely different altogether.
If they go that last route - unless it's a spectacular design - I may just jump ship and get something else entirely.

At any rate, what I believe Aaron was referring to in regards to the Giugiaro concept, was the full fastback styled decklid.

It's possible that perhaps the Giugiaro concept, may have taken some design cues from the 2010. Such as the headlight buckets, grille, hips, and conclave trunk lid. And perhaps even the upper door crease lines, above the C-Scoop/hockey stick sections as well.

Now that I think of it, perhaps it was a preemptive move.

Other than the inspired, full fastback type greenhouse. IMHO, the Giugiaro concept was nothing but a complete abomination, and I'm also glad that Ford didn't put such an unappealing, and hideous car into production. Let alone putting the Mustang's name upon it !
