ford needs to bring Hau Tai-Tang back in charge of Mustang. would love to know his thoughts on the 2010 rear end- very curious if he was for or against it...
if Ford decides to move too far 'forward' and carry only the mustang name onto a all new design without enought classic mustang cues, they could really blow it. wish theyd release some hints to gage ideas before running the wrong direction.
still worries me that J Mays might feel the 69 mustang was 'off track' styling wise. I hope they can come up with something I like MORE than a 69 fastback, but doubt it...the new camaro has too much modern, and look it how it turned out...the gto was a great car but looked like everything else out there, and failed quickly.
it needs to look like offspring of something in the 65-70 years, and it needs to be affordable...aside from that keep it fun to drive and good sounding, not too much to ask.

Here's to hoping!

I'm just saying. Just like when the Fox and SN95 debut, that's what was the thinking of that time. To me, I still think that the Mustang can move forward without loosing either its heritage or its place in the tomorrow land of Mustang. Though too much heritage and it's just the same old car. I guess Ford could bump out the design like GM used to do with trucks, keep the overall design the same for about a decade or more and make small tweaks here and there. See '88-'98 Chevy half ton.

If he was paying attention during AMG School of Design, we'll be just fine
