New 2010/2011 Mustang Photos? (Updated Pic Page #7)
#141
With that aggressive nose on the Shelby those grille mounted turn lights looks like something they had to do so they would be visibly compliant at certain angles for lighting standards.
Anyway, the new front ends are starting to remind me of all the angry and ugly looking styling proposals that were rejected in the late 60's and early 70's. The 2010 Shelby give a new meaning to cowcatcher...
One thing I noted about the current Mustangs is the completely inadequate front bumper beam behind the front fascia. The bumper beam does not extend all the way across under the headlamps where the turn signal lights are located. I suspect one reason the turn lamps were moved could be to fill this area with a wider front impact beam to minimize front end damage. A minor impact on the front corners will certainly distroy a headlight and front fender easily.

Should we believe the results from NHTSA testing--or your conjectures?
