Catch a Glimpse of the 2010 Mustang: Week 8
The 2010 Mustang team strived to ensure the driving experience of America’s muscle car icon was the best Mustang yet. A powerful new design, upgraded soft materials and world-class craftsmanship, driven by meticulous attention to detail and intently listening to customer feedback, define the next-generation Mustang.
Customer feedback led to new and improved features such as the interior trunk release button. “That’s something customers have asked for, so we worked hard to make sure it was included for the new 2010 design in a unique, modern way,” said Chief Designer Douglas Gaffka.
As with everything on the 2010 Mustang, the team executed the trunk release and traction control buttons in a way that was specially designed for the car. The graphic on each button, for example, isn’t just a generic car icon.
It’s a Mustang.
“We felt it was critical to pay attention even the smallest detail,” says Senior Designer Robert Gelardi. “The Mustang is special car, a legend, and everything should be treated as such. Whether it was ergonomics, design, world-class fit and finish or even the graphics on the buttons, everything was specifically and precisely created. We wanted our customers to feel as special driving the 2010 Mustang as we did designing it.”
