2009 Mustang spotted

[tunersteve]

It doesn't reveal much, but this spy photo of the 2009 Ford Mustang does indicate there's an overhaul in progress for the Blue Oval's pony car. With competition looming from the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, the Mustang is going to need a little refresh to stay competitive. Although the front end of this prototype bears a few similarities to the Giugiaro designed concept shown at the L.A. auto show this year, we would be surprised if the final version looks anything like the Italian stallion. At least, that's what we hope as the concept was hardly what we would call a step in the right direction.

They need to do something to it, cause the current GT is lame. Other than the Saleen versions....

Saleen truck?

Not really a fan. Also, very disappointed that Saleen wasn't at the Detroit show this year. Usually they've got a small booth in the Cobo lobby, but nothing anywhere on the show floor.

^ Yeah, the Saleen Truck. I could have sworn i saw a "kitted" Ford truck a few weeks back....but it didnt cross my mind to being a Saleen version. Didnt know it was in production!?! Any specs on it too??

Sorry for the Ford related thread jack.

Is that like a special edition Lighting or Harly Davidson truck??

The mustang gt (non saleen versions) looks boring. Nice car but boring. I'd rather have a Pontiac GTO, that looks boring as well but its got 100 more hp and a nicer interior.

Looks okay to me.....it doesnt have the "bling" factor like the new Harley Davidson's, but it looks good. I hope theres power behind that beech...like a supercharger.
