Hey everone, I do not know if this has been posted before me but you can see the 2010 Mustang from Ford here, TONIGHT!!!

On the order guide from the site, it doesn't look like much new is being done, just the addition of a CAI and the adaptive computer (essentially the Bullitt), resulting in 15hp boosts to performance.
Interesting color choices though, including the Boss blue (yes, that's off topic, oh well)

Thanks for the link!
Seen a few interesting things in the footage. You'll need to hit Pause several times. First, it looks like the center fog lights have been given the same treatment as the new Challenger's headlights. The 2010's headlight bucket has got lots of stuff going on in there!
The mirrors are now 2-tone and the antenna has been moved to the back passenger side. I can't tell if it retracts, which I doubt, but it isn't straight up and down and 3 feet long any more. Is it rubber? I don't like it there as it gets in the way of that nice curve.
From the front it looks like the bottom of the facia, along with the side running panels are now black.
At the end of the video you can change the colors and turn the car around! Yeah! We got Grabber Blue! I like an easy-to-see color and the Sunset Gold metallic seems a little too pimpy. Sterling Grey Metallic looks to be a very cool color. Pair that with the new Saddle interior color... nice!
Let's see: sequential taillights, cup holder cover, lockable storage in the center console, Sync stereo, capless fuel filler system, map pockets on the backs of the seats, interior trunk release, 19" wheel options... they've got things I've wanted to see, while still keeping the price down. Not too bad.
BTW, to the above poster... why don't you try a Chevy?

I got a question. If they are redoing the Mustang in 2011 will it still have the 2010 body?
It seems a little weird that they would bring out a new engine and not a new body... or a new chassis? Or is IRS still never going to happen?
