Ever see a 87-93 LX convertible parked next to a cherry '65 ragtop. How about a 87-93 LX coupe parked next to a sweet little ole '65 classic coupe? If you did, its hard to ignore the similarities or is it?
Contary to popular belief, the 1987 to 1993 LX coupe and convertibles actually resembles the original classic mustang more than you would ever suspect. Since Ford Motor Company opted to void our late model fox body Mustang, of all classic styling queues, it may not be so obvious to most.

Fans and owners of Saleen Mustangs have been on a bit of a roller coaster ride over the past few months. First, back in March, it was announced that MJ Acquisitions, the new owner of the brand, would not be covering any of the old company's warranties. Then, a few weeks later, Steve Saleen announced that his new company, SMS Supercars, would cover any warranties (even though they had absolutely NO legal obligation to do so). A little after that, SMS Supercars teased their latest Ford Mustang creations, the SMS 460 and SMS 460X. Everything seemed right with the world. Steve Saleen was back to making tuner Mustangs (albeit under a different name), and loyal customers were having their warranties covered.
The 2010 Range Rover represents a mid-generation touch-up for the model, but when looking at all the new features, you'd think this was the next generation.
