Mustangs in Parades

So we had a small parade in my hometown of Pacific Palisades and on the way there I passed 2 new 2010 Mustangs that were right behind each other. They both had Buerge Ford dealership signs instead of license plates.
Thought that was odd. But, as you might have been noticing, there are a LOT of 2010 Mustangs on the road! Seems like half the Mustangs I see are 2010's! I know I'm in LA and we get a lot of summer tourists, so they are mostly rental cars, but sure enough I get the program for the parade and Buerge is sponsoring it.

And it turns out both these Mustangs were in the parade, being used for folks from Santa Monica- UCLA Medical Center.
The first was the new V6 in Kona Blue with the Pony Package:

I gotta tell you, if they get their act together and give this car a better V6 I will want one!

It just seems to be better looking (to me) than the Black GT:

I know part of it is because I like the rims on the V6 better, and the color stands out better, but it even seems to have a bigger rear spoiler...

Check them out side by side. Which would you prefer, visually speaking? Why?
Assuming a similar price for the current GT and a future V6 with a 300+ hp Eco-boost engine, which would you put up your own money for?
Myself? I think if they got the power up over 250hp with a similar increase in torque I would go for the bargain that the 2010 vert really seems to be.

well you are in luck because ford announced that they will be dropping in a 3.7L v6 in the 2011 model and the same motor in a FWD lincoln makes 273hp so in a rwd platform with a better breathing intake and exhaust you can expect closer to 300hp

Yep, get those 2011 order plans ready......MB speaks the truth.

I keep seeing rentals too! Had one park next to me at the hotel I'm staying at. Looks nice save the rear end.

funny how the rental companies go through cars so quickly. They sold all those GT-H's with so few miles...

it has a bigger spoiler because it has the rear mounted spoiler camera in it. It requires the larger spoiler to house the camera.
