100HP is a pretty stout increase (and if internet rumors are to be believed, it's way underrated). Even at a $5K-6K discount, it would take about that much money invested back in to make of the difference (if that was a concern) and it wouldn't be under warranty, etc.

Plus it sounds like there are a number of smaller, incremental changes that are worth at least some of the price difference.

I'd definitely wait for an '11

Next to Honda, I am a Ford fan, I'd get the newer one. Buying last years technology will probably bug him in a short while although both cars are very nice. If he wants older technology then he could probably find a very nice 2009 0r 2009 very cheap and they should be similar to the 2010 right? If he keeps a car a long time there is no question the 2011 car is the choice.

5.0 has landed. Shits about to get real!

This particular one is a 6 psd auto without the brembo brake package, and 3.15 rear (gross). But I do like the color!

JUST read a Car and Driver about the 2011 GT motors. They are moving back to the 5.0 v8 with awesome new upgrades.. Better airflow 2 more valves per cylinder 412hp!!! I wouldn't spend a dime on the 4.6l or whatever it is 2010. 2011 GT FTW

I'm on the ford site right now. What's the difference between the 3.31, 3.55, and 3.73?

nice! yup, he's not even looking at 2010 now.

I don't think you can get the Brembo brake package or the higher gearsets with the automatics.

sprix!

Is this a real query or what? Who would buy a 2010 over a 2011? Even with a good discount, I would be unlikely to buy a 2010. 2011 is such an improvement. Not just the power, either.
