    Top Ten Reveals of the 2008 LA Auto Show

    Over last week's LA Auto Show, we saw plenty of new models throw their hats into the bloodied arena that is the current automotive market. So put on some R.E.M. and follow us on a jog down flashback lane as we relive all of the fond old memories we've fostered together this past week. Remember when the new Lexus RX came out and we all had a good laugh because of an explosion of vanilla? How about when a Mini E showed up with that totally hot Deputy Mayor? Man, those were the good old days. Hit the jump below before we start tearing up to catch the ten most popular reveals — as judged by your eyeballs — of the show. More »

    2010 Ford Mustang Unveiled, Live!

    The 2010 Ford Mustang's been revealed live at a private Ford event this evening in a hangar just outside of Los Angeles. Yes, we know we had a chance to take a look at the new Mustang earlier today (and last night), but with this new unveil comes news of more FoMoCo fun — factory-option superchargers.

    Update: A video of the driftgasmic unveiling follows the jump.

    New Ford Mustang GT, Live From LA

    Tonight at 10pm EST the new Ford Mustang will be unveiled here in Los Angeles. We couldn't wait that long. So this morning, we talked Ford into letting us drive shoot a 2010 Ford Mustang — a few hours before everyone else. Initial impressions are positive; it’s like the old one, but like, with an exterior that's 25% more "sexy." The interior is finally made from the kind of materials that belong in an actual car and not a Hot Wheels model of one. While it isn't as gaugegasmic or cool as the 2010 Chevy Camaro, it is head and shoulders better than that of the 2009 Dodge Challenger and the out-going model Mustang. Our favorite part, however, is the engine, which despite the lack of a refresh, looks drop-dead gorgeous underneath that big strut-brace and brushed cover. It not only looks good, it sounds good too, firing up like a big V8 muscle car should.

    2010 Ford Mustang: Design, Dissected

    The 2008 LA Auto Show starting tonight will see the debut of the new 2010 Ford Mustang we revealed first in full for you last night— nearly 44 years after the original 1964 model made its debut on the show circuit. The Mustang's not only the original pony car, it's the only one to continuously sell for all 44 of those years. With such an established history, and with the new Challenger and Camaro nipping at its tail, we were skeptical of a redesign we were told was more an "evolution" rather than "revolution." We'd also been told not to expect any seriously new powertrain options for the 2010 model year. Despite those nagging concerns, what we've found may surprise even us. More »

    2010 Ford Mustang Convertible First Video

    Up on the internet; It's bird, it's a plane, it's total 2010 Ford Mustang day! In marketing parlance, we believe this is called a media blitz, and the latest component following the first images and official details and the video of the Mustang GT hard top is this video of the Mustang GT Convertible. Chop the GT badge off and replace the snorting V8 with a non-Ecoboost V6 and you'll be seeing this car driven ad nauseum by cheerleader types in the not too distant future. This GT version of course just lets the tire smoke blow gently through your hair. Demonstration foolishly not provided in video. More »

    2010 Ford Mustang GT First Video

    After last night's reveal of the reskinned and retuned 2010 Ford Mustang, it sure didn't take long for video of the car in motion to hit the web but here she be, in her pony-car glory. The new 'Stang does little to show off its 315 HP other than provide proof that it can attain forward motion. We're sorely disappointed the first video provided no roiling clouds of tire smoke played to a chainsaw-heavy Jackyl soundtrack, but you can't have everything. We'll be seeing the live unveil soon enough at the LA Auto Show, but feel free to enjoy the huge galleries below. More »

    2010 Ford Mustang GT

    Finally, after all the teasing, the 2010 Ford Mustang GT is finally here — revealed just in time for the LA Auto Show. Actually, it was revealed a couple of hours early thanks to the slippery hands of whomever's running Ford's official Mustang site. And unlike some sites, we're not afraid to let loose with everything early when a little bit's leaked out — so, hit the jump to be the very first to find out exactly what's up with the new pony car from Ford.

    2010 Ford Mustang GT Premium Package Pricing Leaks, Starts At $30,095

    Our friends over at MustangBlog have themselves a scoop this morning before the day of the official reveal of Ford's new pony car, the 2010 Mustang. The bloggers all about the 'stang have somehow snagged the official options and pricing on the premium package on the new 2010 Ford Mustang GT. That package would come with a 4.6-liter OHC 3V V8, Sync mated to the Shaker 500 audio system, 18" wheels, pretty aluminum accent dash, pedal covers, shift plate & shift knob and a leather steering wheel. In addition to the premium package, we're also told to expect a GT Track Package for an extra $1,445 with dual piston calipers, performance brake pads, a 3.73 axle ratio and a recalibrated stability control. All the rest of the toys after the jump.

    2010 Ford Mustang Teaser Day: Pretend You're A Passenger

    Ford plopped out another overwhelmingly exciting 2010 Mustang teaser shot today, again showing us its slab-faced dash, retro-feel door cards and lackluster three-spoke wheel. At least this proves we'll be getting a good old American ignition tumbler instead of one of those Euro-sissy keyless jobs. Check back soon as we continue our relentless march towards the LA Auto Show. I can see the promised land!

    US Soldier In Iraq Wins "Mustang Stories" Contest, 2010 Ford Mustang

    Army Specialist Kory Chesher of the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq will be receiving a 2010 Ford Mustang and a trip to the LA Auto Show for his story of a lifelong love of the Mustang that, sadly, never included owning a Mustang. When Ford launched its 96-day endless countdown they announced the new Mustang would be given to the person with the best Mustang Story. Chesher had been saving his money in order to buy a Mustang when he returned, meaning he can pour that dough into fixing up the car. The story below the jump. More »
