You don't really see that on horses.

]]> <![CDATA[2009 Ford Mustang Badge, Revealed!]]> @OldeEnglishD: You're absolutely correct. I was thinking that the fox-based Stang came out in '78, but it was '79. Thanks for the correction, and sorry about your Mustang II hand grenade!

This isn't any different from the 40th Anniversary car which was the last of the Fox bodies. It's just bigger. If they make it to 100 years, it'll just be a rolling badge

"At least they kept going with the muscular muscle cars even when no other 'merican automaker would. That took some guts - and we'll give 'em credit for that."

cause it took guts to recycle the Pinto instead of taking the arguably gutsier (and far kinder) move to smother the Mustang II in its demonic crib?

]]> <![CDATA[2009 Ford Mustang Badge, Revealed!]]> I don't like the "Anniversary-edition-every-five-years" strategy played by most performance-vehicle-making companies; it makes one wonder if they even plan on having the car for five more years.

Ford should stop with all the special editions and wait 'til 50.

]]> <![CDATA[2009 Ford Mustang Badge, Revealed!]]> It really ought to be the 41st Anniversary. I mean, nobody really counts the '74-'77 Mustang II do they? Maybe they're counting the SVO and SVT Mustangs twice.

]]> <![CDATA[2009 Ford Mustang Badge, Revealed!]]> Maybe they should have used Eight Belles as a model for their horse. Considering the shape that Ford is in now, it would have been fitting......

]]> <![CDATA[2009 Ford Mustang Badge, Revealed!]]> 4" badge? Seriously? Even on the thick modern 'stang, that seems like it will look grossly oversized.

Overall, the horse looks as nice as ever, and I lke the idea, if not the aesthetic of the stylized horseshoe. I just don't care for the font of the "45".

They couldn't time the redesign to coincide with the 45th aniversary though? They should wait on the badge and put it on the (what would be) 2010 redesign, but call it a 2009 1/2. That would be a truer 45th, and allow them to use the badge on the release of the new pony, instead of the long-in-the-tooth current model. At least it will (probably) still beat the Camaro to market.
