News
Mustang's long-rumored restyle has now slipped back to the 2010 models, two years later than first planned. Ford's well-publicized financial woes get the blame, but won't keep Mustang from getting a new V8. Timing is unclear, but the engine will be part of Ford's new "Hurricane" family, with a 5.8- or 6.2-liter version most likely for the ponycar. As for the restyle, one source projects a much sleeker and less retro look, though the classic long-hood/short-deck proportions will remain. Meantime, Ford is promising more special editions to keep Mustang sales moving. Stay tuned.
