We've gotten our hands on five new pics of the 2010 Ford Mustang GT and, although the tweaks are subtle and the images obscured, these shots give us a few hints about what to expect when the new 'Stang arrives at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show.
The teaser above shows a more steeply raked hood accompanied by a new headlamp and bumper design, while the profile shot of the convertible previews a slight upkick in the beltline aft of the B-pillar. The Ford GT badge has undergone a slight revision, along with the new five-spoke wheels and a new steering wheel fitted with tweaked buttons for the cruise control.
We're only a couple months away from the 2010 Mustang's official unveiling, but more teasers and spy shots are inevitably on the way. Thanks to Brad for the heads-up.

+1. That's a huge underbite.

I happen to like the severe under-bite. It gives it a little bit of a brutish, cro-magnon look.

The Cromagnum comment had me laughing. I wonder if Geico will have good rates for this car.

Cromagnum sounds like styling Dodge would use on cars.

YOU WILL ONLY SEE THAT VIEW WHILE ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES ADMIRING THE CAR

Although, I must admit- I do like it. And I'm a Camaro Guy.... OMG. Am I going to the dark side?

What's with the stubby speedometer needles? I thought Ford was going to get rid of those?

Looks as though they smoothed everything out... like the basic shape is the same, but they ran it through a rock tumbler. (Remember those?!) I like it, especially the added shape in the flanks.

I hope the suspension and massive weight were dealt with, otherwise, don't think the out side looks like more than just a small refresh.

Considering it weighs less than the Challenger and Camaro I think it'll do OK.

These are detail shots indeed and don't seem to reveal any sort of wholesale changes. But, it bodes well for a little more aggression, something that wouldn't hurt in light of the Challenger and Camaro.

I love how they had one photo dedicated to the cruise control buttons. A common complaint on InsideLine on their long term Edge was the lack of a "Cancel" button for the cruise control. Looks like they'll still be complaining on the revised Mustang.

all cars HAVE a cancel button for the cruise conrol... it's called a brake.
Jimbo 3:12PM (9/10/2008)
I don't disagree with you. Just pointing out comments made by journalists from another popular site.

Let's hope it loses that live axle...WHAT!?

Wow, they redesigned NOTHING!!!!
ugh, *insert complaint of Mustang Articles on Autoblog*.

I don't understand why Ford is expending so much energy redesigning their one good looking car?
Spend it on refreshing the Fusion please!
If you want to do something special with the Mustang, put the 2.5 liter four cylinder from the Mazda6 in there, add a mild hybrid system like that used in the Escape that allows it to get 30 mpg city, then slap a price tag on it that's cost + 15%, and sit back and wallow in the effusive praise from the enviro extremists and media.
Oh and figure out a way to cut some of the weight out of that pig. Aluminum engine block? Thinner sheetmetal? Less insulation?

Umm, it already has an aluminum engine block. And aluminum heads.
