The problem with this rumor is that it’s said to be slated for the 2008 Mustang, but we’d be much less surprised if that Ford decided to add these feature during the facelift of 2009 instead. The image above was photoshopped by Carspyshots.net community member Soho81, and although it’s on a 2006 … Read entire article »
