It's on the wrong side.

I hope that guy just has the seat adjusted poorly, because he looks downright wedged into that car. This better not be half baked seat-to-dash-space execution by Ford. You sit IN cars, not ON them...

No telescoping wheel is still a giant Fail.

Nice comparison of the three front end configurations. From that shot, I think I like the GT best...

Hmm wonder where those white faced gauges are going, I thought the 500 would get them?

like the wheels more and more......
the continuity of the lines on the door/hip transition look kinda unrefined.
overall, everythings looking good.
still not sold on the new hood extractors and the rear end is really making me nervous....although I like the new decklid medallion.
interesting parade of all 3 stangs with less camo.
Nice find!

Definitely liking the GT front the best.

Also, (and this may just be the camo doing its job), but that hip is so small it seems like such a dinky little afterthought. It's almost like why did they even bother.

Looks like the dash has some sort of metal turn or carbon fibre look to it?

Not crazy about the patterning on the dash in this pic, but it may look better in person...

I'm glad the GT500 has Shelby spread out across the rear deck ala SGT and KR,i never liked it wedged to the side like the current GT500.
I curious how that all black front will look on the GT without the camo. It could go either way,tacky or bad-***.

Nice...says SVT on the badge

And the GT still has the black shroud on the bumper...
to further differentiate it from the GT.

Spanktacular

The more I see the more I'm annoyed. To the casual observer, a 2010 and a 2009 look like the same car. I just don't see enough of a difference in the old vs. new designs to make me want a new one. Ooh, a different badge on the steering wheel, square panel vents instead of round ones, big deal! I know they don't want to mess up a good thing, but a "new" 2010 model these are not. Carryover powertrains make my point even more. Good luck stealing thunder away from the new Camaro. And please stop insulting our intelligence by "camouflaging" these cars only to have the badges and stripes visible while driving them all together on the open road with that crappy Cheeto pattern camo. Sheesh!

Goes to show you that the camo is working.

The interior alone is enough to want a '10 over the '09,it's less gimmicky and if don't want a dumb horseshoe on your car,the '10 is worth waiting for. I'm excited for the new car,i think it will be a huge improvement,and i like the '05-09......except for those base GT wheels....ugh.

Yeah, considering you can't even tell what the side panels look like.

I guess people constantly spurn Porsche for updating their styling on their DNA?
I'm sure some do, but really... the 2005 redesign was so successful, why not ride that wave.
Even if every panel is changed

Don't fool yourself, a LOT of people can't even really tell the difference between a LOT of years of mustangs between reskins... and that won't change.

It's a mid-cycle refresh, not a whole new design.

Well the pic of the rear badge dashes my hopes of retrofitting one to my car to cover that key hole Great pics though.
