Ford Mustang GT V8
Ford Mustangs have been commended for years on their consistently flashy looks and timeless aura. As of late, Ford's muscle car has been matched and nearly surpassed by the Dodge Challenger and latest version of the Chevrolet Camaro. Ford met this challenge head on by immediately delving into new designs for their 2010 model that would help them stay at the top.
The newest Mustang shows changed details on almost every element of the car. The body of the car is redesigned with smoother more rounded features rather than the sharp, flatter features of the older versions. The grille is narrower and the signature GT fog lamps are redesigned. In their place are headlights that resemble those found on the 1970 Mustang. It also has the option of 19" tires. The rear of the car has been modernized from the sharp rear wing to the new more rounded rear lip spoiler once again reminding you of one of their former models of Ford Mustang or even the older versions of the Mercury vehicles.
As far as the interior goes, previous models were described as barren and arid, with what felt like cheap plastic for the seats, and a squeaky chassis. I can't completely agree with those opinions, as I have been a die hard fan of the mustang for years. However, I will agree that this time around they have put a wonderful new luxurious feel to the interior. It has roughly the same interior designs but with softer materials, and once again, a more modernized, rounded appearance. The center console is now non-existent to allow more room for shifting gears. Ford has also nixed the ashtray and relocated the electrical socket to the top of the dashboard rather than beneath the radio, which is reportedly to make it easier to power your navigation device.
