Ford recently released yet another teaser image of the anticipated 2010 Ford Mustang. Hold on to your hats, ladies and gentleman, as this one is even more exciting than the shift knob image, as it includes that
and more.
The new image shows the shifter as well as other parts of the center console, and the changes from the current s197 are immediately apparent. The first thing to notice is the addition of dual zone climate controls. This is, of course, a welcome addition to any automobile, so seeing that it's coming to the 2010 pony car is a great thing. With it comes a few more controls on the console compared to the Mustang we have now, as expected.
In addition, the emergency/parking brake has been moved down range from its previous location and closer to the console to make room for three new switches. The switches will be the on/off for the hazard lights, traction control and trunk release. This will, of course, be terribly convenient during attempted drifts across three lanes of highway traffic with your trunk open and your hazard lights on.
Overall though, I like the use of high-quality plastics throughout (as I have noted in other writings as being absent from many American cars) and the new console comes out looking nice and clean; I think it's definitely an improvement over the current model.
