For years the Mustang has been an American icon. It is one of the few muscle cars that is not only affordable – but comes with the power that we all love to have in a car. For the past five years Ford has been using the same style and design that takes its cues from the late 1960′s model. But for the 2010 model they are switching things up.

Engineers from Ford have improved the aerodynamics for the 2010 Mustang and redesigned several key features. The basic theme of the Mustang has not been lost and still stays true to the inset headlamps and forward canted grille. The turn signals though have been repositioned into the pocket with the headlamps and seem to be slightly smaller.

The hood has been re-designed with the power dome in the center of it. When you look at the edge you can see that the hood and the fender have been partially concave to leave a ridge that travels back to the A-pillar. The entire leading edge of the hoods now is able to curve down to help the airflow around the nose and over the top of the vehicle.

One of the things that people did not like about the 2005 model was the interior because it was made with plastic and rather cheap materials. That is why in the 2010 model Ford got rid of these materials and instead opted for an aluminum dash and trim. It is now smooth and looks much more sophisticated.
