The muscle car has been a popular choice for drivers around the world and continues its legacy with the 2010 Mustang model, which will hit the streets of the Middle East in June.

"The secret to Mustang's longevity is the devoted team of people who have worked passionately over the years to bring each generation of the Mustang to market - never losing sight of the customer and always staying true to the basic tenets born with the brand in 1964: fast, fun and affordable,"


said Waldo Galan, managing director, Ford Middle East.

"The muscle car has been very popular among drivers in the Middle East and we are confident this trend will continue with the upcoming 2010 model."

The 2008 and 2009 Mustang earned the government's highest five star frontal crash test ratings. The Mustang convertible stands alone as the only sports car and the only convertible ever to earn five star safety ratings in all five test categories under the government's New Car Assessment Program.

More than 9m Mustangs have been sold since Ford first introduced the iconic pony car in 1964. After four and a half decades on the market, the Ford Mustang continues to captivate car buyers throughout the world.
