Lightbulb What you guys think?

I plan on checking out the L.A. Auto Show this weekend or next and saw this pic of the possible world debut mustang. how much different do you guys think the V6 version would be? thoughts and opinions welcome.

the body changes are all they changed and the interior is diff. as with the gt the motor is still the same too. not even sure they put the new tune and cai on the 6er's. still carrying the 4.0l v6 with 210hp.
interior looks great but im not impressed at all with the rear end look. too rounded off for my taste. im going to wait on ford to upgrade the engine options till i trade again. 3 s197 in the last 30 months. im done trading cars for awhile. unless they change the motor options.

Rear end is HIDEOUS

Other than that i like the car, but with no extra HP and with it wieghing an additional 15 pounds (i know, its minimal lol) im going to wait until that supposed 5.0 or ecoboost motor comes out

well if this stang is really at the show, i will take pics at all angles and post em for all to see.

as for the rear end, looks closer to the original stangs IMO. still too early to tell if its a pass or fail.

I'd liked to see more pics of the 2010 V6. Like the old S197, I like the V6 body style better than the GT (except for the Bullitt).

I agree with the others the tail of the car is to rounded for my taste. I will stick with my 07 for a very long time. Maybe another 30 years until they retro the mustang again.

I like it, but I would not trade my car for it. Unless they give it some more horses!
