The 2010 Mustang....**56k death PICS**

chubbs

OK - just about all I know of Mustangs is the beautiful sound of the V8 I first heard and fell in love with in the 1960's.

I also saw a beautifully supercharged one at Le Mans last year, imported to the UK by a Mustang freak - and I must say that in the 'flesh' it looked and (of course) sounded really nice.

But now, my opinion goes downhill - Those lovely high quality pics at the start of this thread reveal a design that has run out of ideas. The 2010 Mustang should not look ANYTHING like that - in 40 years it hasn't evolved, it's got lardy, lumpy and sorry but the word is ........boring. The words 'Complacent. Safe and Dull' come to mind.
This is a real shame, because 40 years ago the brand Mustang really meant something and said something about Americans and American Muscle cars. The Mustang WAS Steve McQueen. Sadly, now all it does is highlight american motor manufacturers' complacency. These days, the Mustang isn't a throbbing Steve McQueen, it's an ageing Schwarzenegger with too much make-up and hair dye.

Chickens are coming home to roost - the americans are now playing catch-up with other car manufacturers from around the world - and they're not doing it very well.

The only thing that should be constant in a Mustang is the sound - the rest should have kept up with the times. Sadly it's still in the 80's.
