Front end+Interior= 2 points for 2010
Backend=1 point for 05-09
No significant power increase=-1 point for 2010
It's really a tie for me. I mean 315HP is enough for now I suppose. I'd like to see if they keep that power level and introduce an intermediate model between the GT and GT500/Cobra or if they up the price on the GT and put in a slightly bigger engine.

I'm not really impressed with the 2010, all it is is the S197 with a simple facelift, no big redesign. The biggest thing i wasn't impressed with was the motor...only another 15HP? I got that with a 30 minute K&N cold air intake install. It looks nice from the front, but the rear i'm not a fan of, and the side is basically identicle to the 05-09's. Overall it is not even close to enough of a change to make me buy a new 2010, so i think i'm going to keep my 05.

3 things, 1) If I was getting ready to buy a Mustang, I'd wait and get the newest, latest, and greatest 2010 model. 2), If I had an 05-09 model, I would *not*trade it for a 2010. There's just not enough there to justify it. 3) I think the tweaks of the 2010 mustang are improvements and it does have slightly more power. Advantage 2010 mustang....IMO....
The only two "performance" improvements I saw were the CAI and Strut tower brace. Both of which can be purchased for the 05-09 for around $750 for both.
The options I do like on the 2010 is the two piston caliper option with the track pack and the 3.73 gears from the factory along with a more agressive tune...320hp 330tq? Again though an FRPP Powerpack will give you all that for around $1200 (tune, CAI, gears, headers) I'm not diggin the body though. The front looks too much like the camaro and the rear looks like the current Mustang mated with a 350Z or a G37 coupe. :P
