Now 45 years old and revamped for 2010 with new styling and more powerful V-8, the "pony car" that debuted in 1964 is strikingly muscular, more energetic than before and thoroughly cool for a modern buyer.
You dont even have to pretend to be Steve McQueen, the lead actor in the 1968 film "Bullitt" who famously drove a Mustang in one of Hollywoods best chase scenes, to enjoy the new Mustangs unique persona.

I wouldn't want one myself, but I like seeing them tooling around.
1968 all over again.

Nice cars. Both.

I like Ford, I like the Mustang albeit it’s totally impractical for most people, but it’s funny that the car companies latest hot-rod offerings are made to look like their cars from 45 years ago.
Then again I ‘m done with driving cars - I am an SUV driver and if anything, I’ll be getting bigger and bigger ones in the future.

Nice car for going fast in a straight line.
Don't try cornering in this vehicle.

...it’s funny that the car companies latest hot-rod offerings are made to look like their cars from 45 years ago. That's because the guys that can afford them were teenagers 45 years ago. ;)

Enjoy the Mustang while it lasts. After Gore gets his way the Mustang will be effectively outlawed.

It is “again” cool, not “still” cool.
Remember the Mustang II and the early 1980s Mustang “revival”?
Not very fond of any of the 1990s designs as well, so I’d say the Mustang is cool AGAIN.

Is Ford going to screw it up again, like it did in the ‘70s? A Mustang has to have angles!
To: JoeProBono
I love mine:

Love the Mustang... have since I was a little bitty boy... here's my 09, it is my toy!
yes...I know, I'm an evil conservative with multiple v8 powered vehicles.... I love it! it's like a Full Size Revell Model Kit.
It's my first Ford in 20 years, bought it because they are the only US car company not owned by ZERObama (and that is actually worth a damn)!

Whenever list the greatest American cars of all time the Mustang has got to be on the list.

What model is that one - the roofline appears different than others I have seen?

You remind me of Steve McQueen ...sans le aeroplane. A 'tang would suit you.

Don't try cornering in this vehicle. Nonsense. My '09 slalums up winding mountain canyons nicely and sticks to the road well.
