Model Lineup
Ford has not yet announced trim levels, but consumers can expect V-6 and GT models to return, each with Deluxe or Premium trim. If history serves as an indicator, the Mustang V-6 Deluxe will come with cloth upholstery; air conditioning; tilt steering wheel; cruise control; driver's seat height adjustment; power windows/locks/mirrors; remote keyless entry; AM/FM/CD stereo; and with bigger-for-2009 17-inch alloy wheels. The GT Deluxe should add a power driver's seat, rear spoiler, fog lights and 18-inch wheels. The Premium V-6 will likely have a leather-wrapped steering wheel; power driver's seat; 6-disc CD changer; Sirius satellite radio; and an 8-speaker Shaker 500 Audio system. The GT Premium should add leather upholstery to the Premium V-6 equipment.

Ford hasn't announced if the V-6 Pony, California Special, Bullitt or Shelby GT500 models will return, but the company has revealed two new option packages. The GT Track Package will come with performance front brake pads, 3.73 axle ratio, and a recalibrated stability control system that allows more tire slip before activating, the company says. The GT Track Package II will be available after the Mustang's initial launch. It will include performance front and rear brake pads; stabilizer bars and rear lower control arms from the Shelby GT500; retuned struts and shocks; 19-inch Pirelli summer performance tires; 3.73 axle ratio with carbon plates in the differential; and new calibrations for the stability control, traction control and anti-lock braking systems. Other new-for-2009 options include a navigation system, rearview camera, and the next generation of Ford's Sync entertainment and communication system.
