My favorite Mustang will always be my one that my great grandmothers neighbor had. It was a 68 California edition, fire engine red with a white top. It was a beautiful car that he hardly ever drove. Memories.
I see prototype cars all the time, but they’re usually covered in black canvas to hide the details. Sometimes they have sensors and antennas attached. Over the summer I saw 3 strange looking cars that hung around town for a few days. Turns out they were Chevy Volt prototypes (I saw a picture a few weeks later). I live at 8500ft above sea level, so I think they are testing performance at altitude.
I don’t think it’s going to appeal to many potential buyers. The styling is a mixture of retro and modern which doesn’t really work that well imo. The tail lights remind me of the Lotus Elise back in 85.
Add to that 2009 will see new versions of a few sports cares and this Mustang won’t be able to compete much. It really needs a new design imo, this one is already old, although I initially liked it.

beyond that. The ’10 looks really nice compared next to that other Red ’05 (or whatever year) mustang.

I agree with you. I think Ford has done great with the ’01-’05 Focus and the new Fusions. They, to me, are moving design and quality into a better direction then GM.
BUT Ford is to divided to me. They have Ford Europe and Ford USA. I think Ford US needs to work more with Ford Europe with design and bring more cars over. The Ford Europe philosophy that I see is “more everything, for less price”. I use the European Focus as a great example of this. It offers more space, standard features, and cheaper price then the Golf. It also looks great. But the US Focus is horrible looking and designed compared to the Euro counter part.
FOrd should consolidate with Ford Europe and save money by using some of the same cars. I’d say the C-Max, Mondeo, and FOcus would be a good start. Even the Fiesta might be a good one to bring over since Toyota and Honda have done with same with the Aigo/Yaris and Fit
I cant believe they redid the taillights! puke!
The retro taillights and rerto gas cap made the Mustang rule the streets again, now Ford went and changed them back to the “space-age” look , huge mistake!
There will always be some people who have the money to afford something like this and the traditional mustang wasn’t as big of a wallet buster as some.
Frankly, I’m not ‘Merican so it’s pretty moot. Nonetheless I find it pretty sad that because a Democratic candidate was elected to the POTUS the “capitalist” market that is the US manifesto is suddenly null and void. I like to remind people of the inanity of that frame of mind.
Since only gay guys drive Mustangs (see #14), it is appropriate that it should debut in SF.
Beautiful car, beautiful horse.
A pity we can’t get the Mustang here in Europe.
BTW the other day I happened to see a 60′s pony car at a used car dealership. I took some photos, you can see them here:

Apparently imported for someone who wants to do a restore job. Still looks good after so many years.

Any idea how much they wanted for it?

Quem quer um Ford Mustang? Not me! They were cool 40 years ago. Today? Not so much.
Boring…Also, each of these cars will have major problems within the first 50,000 miles!

#23, no I didn’t ask. Next time I stop by I can ask.
Nice try John!
Now there’s no car company bailout you are going to save the American car companies by yourself?
By posting ‘ads’like this?
O..nice cars btw

Looks like a ripoff from a Foose design I saw on Overhaulin’ on Discovery. Nice lines, but hell, I grew up in the 60′s.

What kind of gas mileage does it get?
Can you get one with a standard transmission and a 1.8 liter engine?
If they can do this http://tinyurl.com/6fnbrd they should be able to build a decent car. You know, with 22″ rims and hydraulics and shit.
Mustangs in ‘Frisco ???
Where’s Steve McQueen(Bullitt) when we need him !!!
