christ it has like this cheap looking front grill with the fog lights crammed in there with that ugly *** rear end that almost looks ricer. Just too much plastic for me.

I personally like the look of the '10 4.6 myself with the crome cover with the stang stamped on it.

Of course these are leaked photos.....

I have read tons of posts about the rear of the '10's. I personally love the '10 rear end, I think it compliments the recent redesign well. Yeah it may not look good on some version/color schemes but that is the case with all cars. I think its looks agreat on my kona blue GT

Agreed ^ (Daniel60)

Still can't believe the GT has more plastic body work than the V6..
Aside from the Honda Accord Coupe rear end, I'm surprised no one
has mentioned how Ford put the antenna on the rear end. UGLY.

I LOVE the new power plants coming out next year, the 3.7 sure puts
the 4.0 in its place.

Wow, 11:1 cr...not very forced induction friendly, but maybe the Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing would help with that.

The best part about the new 5-liter is the "5.0" badges on the fender. Though not a copy of the original, the new badge borrows the red square for the decimal. At first glance, you think you're mind is playing tricks on you, but once you see it in person and get to touch it, you too will believe it.

This has to be the dumbest thing I've read lately.

The exhaust manifolds look like shorty headers.

It will sound great with the 2 exhaust valves per cylinder like the 1999 - 2002 N/A Cobras but with more displacement!

So excited..So glad i sold my 06 at peek..

Ford finally gets it right..only been waiting since 94.. for the return of real horsepower and the 5.0 to return... i will wait and be patient and get in late in the season when the 2012 come out and get it for 0% or something..

First thing is the plastic engine cover will be coming off.. love the Brembo upgrade..about time!!!

Finally a motor and brakes..to be proud of..

thank god for the Camaro and Challenger..Competition is great..now it finally paid off for us Mustang fans..

i need to start saving now..
