Last week, Ford ended an agonizingly long striptease by releasing the 14th and final image of the new 2010 Mustang. Now that Ford has laid all their cards on the table, we no longer suspect the 2010 Mustang will be nearly indistinguishable from the current gen, we’re sure of it. As a matter of fact, we’d be hard pressed to find anything that’s noticeably different, aside from the redesigned pony badge, of course.

Since the Mustang has always found favor in our court, rather than label this Emperor’s-New-Clothes-type reveal as a shameless, disappointing publicity stunt, we choose to interpret the maneuver as Ford’s subtle way of reminding the 2010 Camaro that endless hype and drastic body changes do not a muscle car make.
