American Classic Ford Mustang Delivers Fuel Efficiency, Performance, Safety and Value - VIDEO ENHANCED
DEARBORN, MI - July 3, 2008: The Fourth of July weekend is a time to reflect on American ideals and American icons. One of the most-iconic cars in American history is the Ford Mustang. With a heritage stretching back nearly a half-century, the Mustang has become a part of the American fabric. Mustang has been the best-selling sports car for 22 straight years, and there are plenty of reasons why:

• The performance continues: The current model's 4.6-liter V8 produces 300 horsepower and 320 foot-pounds of torque at 4,500 rpm. The 4.0-liter, single-overhead cam V6 produces 210 horsepower and 240 foot-pounds of torque at 3,500 rpm. For the truly wild, a 5.4-liter Supercharged V8 is available with 500 hp and 480 foot-pounds of torque.
• Fuel Efficient: The V6 has best-in-class fuel economy, sporting 26 miles per gallon on the highway.

• Glass Roof: New for 2009 is a factory-installed Glass Roof, for that open air feel in any weather. With summer in full swing, a convertible is a popular choice.

• Get it before it's gone: Due to the short model year, the 2009 45th Anniversary Mustang will be one of the rarest model years of Mustang ever.
• Most Customized Vehicle on the Planet: Make it your Mustang. With hundreds of factory and aftermarket components available, you can make your Mustang look, feel and perform just the way you want it.
• A legacy of quality and value: Mustang received top honors as the Best Midsize Sporty Car by J.D. Power and Associates in its Initial Quality Study in 2007. In addition, VEHIX TV™ just named Mustang among the vehicles with the best resale value, beating out models from Honda, BMW, Porsche, Audi and nearly all domestic automakers. Powerful, efficient, safe and American. That's the Mustang.
