New sketches of the 2010
From www.jalopnik.com
http://jalopnik.com/392394/2010-ford...hy-speculation
Oh do we have a treat for any of you lovers of 'merican muscle cars today. We were talking with a Ford insider recently about the 2010 Ford Mustang. Specifically, discussion focused on the partially speculative rendering of the 2010 Mustang GT on the front of Car und Driver this month. More than one person had already told us a number of differences between the production model and the one featured on the cover of the big buff book, and our new source claimed the same thing. The difference between our other sources and this one was this one was willing to show us the money as it were. The shot below the jump is a sketch based on the final design of the next Mustang. We've mapped the differences out as well.
2010 Mustang Gets Penciled In
To begin with we're told the design of the side on the C&D sketch is incorrect. The door handle is too high. The official CAD renderings we've seen (don't even ask how we got those — all we can say is many Bothans died to bring us that information) — which verify the sketch provided by our source — indicate the door handle is actually part of the heavy crease running along the side of the new 'stang — and not above it.
The front fascia on the actual 2010 Mustang is also quite different. Our source's sketch — and again, the CAD models —indicates another piece of moulding between the black grille and the front bumper. Additionally, the C&D rendering is missing the turn signals which should be a flush addition to each side of the front bumper. The other minor issue is the double-gilled air vent on the bottom of the 'stang. The sketch — as well as other sources indicates they don't exist. Unfortunately, the area below the front bumper is where we're missing CAD modeling — so C&D very well may be correct on this.
And then there's the rear end — something untouched by the speculative renderers of Car und Driver — which from what we can see is a dramatic departure from the last model. If it turns out looking like this, we like it.
Yes, we could be wrong, and C&D could be too — but our money's on our sources coming through for us on this one. Time will tell wethinks. We're told we'll find out for certain at either the LA Auto Show or the Detroit Auto Show — we guess we'll have to wait until then. For now, answer us this question:

Dude that thing is hot. This sketch shows a design that is very true to the classic design while progressing forward with a more modern appeal. Soften up a couple edges, especially on the back, tweak a couple lines and I think we might be looking at the new kid on the block.
I thought the new turn signals were integrated with the headlights, looks like they are in the bumper. It does have dual exhaust, could that be GT specific then??

Yep, we are a hard bunch!
For what it's worth...I like it. The tails could be pretty sweet too. I do like the tapered design.

well, i didn't get time to do a full pic, just did a super quick wip up of what i feel the car looks like based on the details we have seen. I do believe the main bumper cutout might be a little more vertical on the sides on the real car but whatever...
Looks good to me 
I like that a lot!
