2010 Mustang sighting
On my way to work this morning, I'm mere blocks away from my office when I see several Mustangs parked on the side of the road next to one of my favorite downtown restaurants. I was thinking "why would they have a gathering at this time of day in this kind of weather." As I get closer, I see that they look a little different....and they have Michigan plates! Holy crap...they are test mules! I swing back around (I have to go around like 4 blocks because of all of the freaking one way streets) and I see them crossing through an intersection a few blocks down. :( Oh well...I tried. As I have turned the corner and am coming up to the light, I see them coming up out of my side view mirror. Left blinker on....brief look for cops....left turn out of the right lane. They are just cruising around downtown!!! Not something you EVER see in Austin, TX. If they would have been 5th Gens...I would still be following them
Here's the pics...(Sorry for the poor quality...taken with my phone)

Wow, seeing them actually on the street makes me like them even more than that current Mustang. It just looks so much more agressive and overall BETTER than the current one, I love it (still love the 'Maro more )

Haha I like how people won't even recognize that it's a 2010 until they get up close after the "redesign"
Nice find |

I must admit that it looks better in person than I thought it would.

I think the reason I dislike the rear end is that it's losing it's boxyness. you can't have a retro mustang with rounded (think candy corn turned on its side) taillights. It's morphing and doesn't with the rest of the body's shape. I like the side and front profiles, but the rear is still meh. I like the 03 rear end MUCH better.
