One more from autofiend:

pretty much says the same thing as the autoblog one, with a little more raving about the handling and how the car doesnt need irs (something sure to start that conversation all over again ).

I'm with you 100%. Other than black, I think Sterling Grey will be the best colour for the 2010.

And this interior is perfect. However, whoever stuck their dirty hands over the lower side of the passenger dash should be taken to one side and given a stern talking to

Wow! Lots of reading! Thanks Topnotch!

It sounds like they like the new Pony. It was also good to find out details, and pricing of the Trac Pack II. Sounds like it's worth $1500!

That's the one thing I don't like about my Mustang is the amount of body leaning. Looks like they fixed that. Now if only they would drop in a 5.0 liter V8!

I just wonder why you can't get the glass roof option with the 3.73 gears (and, thus, the Trac Pack)?

IMO, the 2010 looks better in Sterling Gray, as opposed to Alloy. Alloy is too dark -- most people mistake it for black. "Hey, aren't you the guy with the black Mustang," is what I often hear. With the blacked-out grille posts, rocker panels and rear bumper diffuser, Sterling offers a much greater contrast.

Add a red interior to the Sterling Grey---very sharp.
