That old saying once again proves true as some early pricing information for the new 2010 Ford Mustang has leaked out, with the latest 'Stang continuing its tradition of offering an excellent value proposition when compared to its new peers. Base price for a standard V6-powered 2010 Mustang is reportedly $21,845, including delivery charge. For comparison, its biggest competitor will surely be the Camaro, which starts at $22,995. The other revived pony car is the Dodge Challenger, which in base SE form begins with a $22,545 sticker price. Each of these entry-level models comes equipped with a standard V6 engine, though the Challenger comes only with a four-speed automatic while its competitors offer a stick. Anyone wanting an open-air experience has no choice but to opt for the Ford, as the Blue Oval's offering is the only modern musclecar with an optional drop-top. Stepping up to a V8-powered Mustang will reportedly run you $27,995 - quite a bit cheaper than the V8-powered Camaro's $30,995 sticker. Dodge's entry runs $30,545 for the base R/T model and its HEMI V8. It's not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison, of course, as the Mustang GT is down a bit on horsepower compared to its rivals, but we think the GT's cut-rate pricing should be more than enough to keep Ford's pony at the top of the sales charts.

If past history holds true, the base Stang will be cheaper than the base Camaro... But the Camaro will have a killer Z28 version that is both cheaper and stronger than the GT version Stang. And if you want the 'top of the line', Ford will rape you on SVT stuff, GM will sell you an SLP for half the price.
The base Camaro also has 300 HP V6 and a 6 speed standard. The new Camaro is a GOOD LOOKING car. I have mixed feelings on the "new" Mustang, the front looks great, but the rear end is just plain ugly.
I didn't look at it good until after my first comment... I agree with you totally! The rear is nasty. I looked at the car and felt like I was looking at the old 94-03 "Jellybean" with an 04-08 grille. They are going 'back to the future' and it's ugly.
