<br />The 2010 Ford Mustang is quicker and more refined than the model it replaces, and it has also been upgraded in ways you can't see or feel - unless you're in an accident. The new 'Stang has received a five-star rating for front and side collisions by National Highway Traffic Safety Association, as well as five-stars for roll-over performance. The Blue Oval says that these top scores adds to the company's industry leading amount of five-star rated vehicles.<br /><br />Ford achieved the top U.S. government top safety scores in part because of the new Mustang's stiffer chassis. The 2010 model's body structure is 31% stiffer than the 2009 model, and Ford engineers augmented the more rigid platform with improved high strength sheetmetal to protect occupants in a side impact. <br /><br />Hit the jump to check out the Ford press release.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-mustang-ab-la2008/">2010 Ford Mustang</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-mustang-ab-la2008/1163835/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/00_mustang2010_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-mustang-ab-la2008/1163850/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/01_mustang2010_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-mustang-ab-la2008/1163875/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/02_mustang2010_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-mustang-ab-la2008/1163873/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/03_mustang2010_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-mustang-ab-la2008/1163859/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/04_mustang2010_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/21/2010-ford-mustang-nets-five-star-safety-rating/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>2010 Ford Mustang nets five-star safety rating </em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/21/2010-ford-mustang-nets-five-star-safety-rating/">2010 Ford Mustang nets five-star safety rating </a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 21 May 2009 10:28:00 EST.
