The reason why it is such a small refresh is because the Mustang is getting a major overhaul in 2012. The 2010 obviously still has the same powertrain, chassis, body and all major components.

Obviously Ford isn't going to bother with anything more if it's getting a complete overhaul in 2 model years.

the interior looks pretty good, but the exterior looks pretty much the same...

I'd take the better performance anyday though. 315hp for a GT is a little, well, girly. Nowhere near the competition.

The HIGH REVING 5.0 is on it's way , one more year and the GT will be blessed with the 5.0 badging again can't wait , does anybody no the CURB WEIGHT of this new model ???

AND the Ecoboost V6 is on it's way as well. Heck, I think I might just be up for a Mustang (never thought I'd say that!!!). We'll see..

It looks absolutely beautiful. Not as good as the Camaro, of course, but very well done on the styling Ford.

So the looks are good...but....No mechanical upgrades? 210 hp out of the V6? 315 out of the V8? Solid rear end? What is this the 70s? Get with the times Ford!

Well I guess we have nothing to worry about now.

I hope so. Competition creates better products and pricing for the consumers.

Hmmm, I do like it better than the current model and honestly I would get one if it wasn't for the Camaro. Ah well, some props to Ford.

Wow that thing is UGLY! I thought the current stangs are ugly on the outside (their decent on the inside imo) but the '10 is just down right hideous inside and out.

Ford took that old saying "take 2 steps forward and 3 steps back" to new extremes.
