All I know is if I had a 2010 Mustang, I would be one pissed off person! Though, from what my friend told me, the v6 is 24k and the gt is 38k now. That is about 6-8 more than the previous generations for the base v6 and gt.

My friend just ordered a new GT and he paid $32k, And its loaded. You can get it up to 38k but then again my 07 was almost 38 k too

Obviously the V8s won't go away, but something like this to slot between the LT and SS would be great:

The V6 Mustang runs 13.7 at 102??? Damn that's impressive for a naturally aspirated V6.

I think in another year I'm going to go rent one of these from my favorite rental car place and have me a ball.

In all honesty, the outgoing Mustang GT is languishing towards the bottom of that list (above mostly 4 bangers). Not sure why it wasn't bolded (along with the Caliber).

But an EVO is not something typically cross-shopped against a pony car. Different strokes for different folks. Anyway, it seems Ford has addressed all the apparent shortcomings of the Mustang. Now if Fiat could do something about the Challenger

well the 5.0 was probaby the worst kept secret of the auto industry over the last year or so... so if you bought a 2010 mustang you either didn't inform yourself, or you were ok with it knowing that next year a huge update was coming...

everyone who bought a 2010 knew about the new 5.0 for 011. And it still outsold the camaro..

It certainly does have direct injection. That's how they get 300HP out of it.
