That is why I am not going to plus it was never on my mind to trade it in. The service manager asked me if I wanted to drive it so I was not about to turn him down.

DAMMMN that is one sexy ride.

Too bad 85% of them are way over priced/Highly molested or I would buy one.

[QUOTE=shane.stockard;7109578]So while I was waiting on my wifes car to serviced at my Ford dealership and the shop manager knows that I love Mustangs so he pulled the new 5.0 around and asked me to take it out for a spin.

I had the same exact story, except I brought the 5.0 home.

I had the exact same story as the OP. It was tempting, but I still can't get over the rear tail lights on the 2010+. If Ford had changed the rear end for the better in 2011, I probably would have bought it!

I guess you'll have to wait until 2014 for another style redesign, it follows the approximately 5 year cycle and it will be the 50th anniversary of the mustang.

In the beginning they were changing every two years, then three...

65/66, 67/68, 69/70, 71/72/73, ...

So it's possible 2012 could have a design tweak or two. I don't have a lot of hope for 2014 due to the increasing emissions laws.

Increasing motor technology > increasing emissions laws!
