am i the only one that isn't impressed by the 2010? the rear end bears a striking resemblance to the new models of toyota corolla. check it out, you should be able to see it. not liking the direction where they're taking this car.

Some more differences I noticed today on my second visit to the Auto Show.
The 2010 gets map pockets in the backs of both seats
The upgraded seating packages get softer leather that doesn't have the perforated centers like current ones. I also think the seat belt receptacles are different

WHIPPLE!!!!! 
I also do not see the corolla comparison.
I really like how it has a USB port. I so wish my S197 had that.
I also like the new steering wheel. I wonder if it would be possible to make a 2010 steering wheel work with an S197.
Probably not.
The biggest thing I do not like is how the radio is done. How in the hell are you going to use an aftermarket radio now? Not that I have an aftermarket radio but still. That option is gone now and will turn a lot of people off I'm sure.

I don't like the new rear ends on the 2010 Pony's at all!.......Horrible change, even if you threw a spoiler on to of it, it would look too rounded.
I DO like the painted slats between the headlights and the grille, and the more pronounced door line. The new raised hood with built in under-hood wiper nozzles looks a lot better.
The accent "hump" over the rear wheels is reminescent of a Dodge more than a Mustang.
I like the usb port in the center console, it was long over-due.
....just my $.02
