They should be hitting showrooms next spring or early summer. A step above the GT in power and handling, yet a bit below the 350GT...following the formula Ford set when making the '01's and the '08-'09's. I expect dealers to be wanting a "dealer price adjustment" at first...so be patient if you're interested. at 480 horsepower, probably no place for this old man. Magnetic suspension is on the options list. If I were interested, I'd want that. 19" wheels with Brembo brakes on all of them, so plenty of whoa.

With my '09 at 27,000 miles, it'll probably last me the rest of my driving days. Those may be fewer than I expected. Got a shot in my left eyeball yesterday for wet macular degeneration. Right eye still fine, so opthalmologist says I'm okay to drive..at least for now. These injections help in roughly 50% of cases, so keeping my hopes up. Sure screwed up my pool game, though.
