I think the '11 model has an aluminum block, among other improvements.
handles a better than the '10.

I'm not sure if the improvements justify the $20k-ish premium over a base GT, but it's not a bad car at all.

This is a bad move IMO. I mean the special edition Mustangs are anything but. There's too damn many of them.

Are there too many Mustang trims?
Seems reasonable to me.
V6, Premium V6, GT, Premium GT, Boss, Boss Laguna Seca, & Cobra.

'The California Edition' is awfully tacky, but that's more of a package than a trim.
I also don't care for how the Premium trim is around $3k, and I need it to get a better sound system & HID's, but that's my only complaint.
I DO like how a base GT w/ Brembo pkg is around $32k, & how dealers are actually stocking it up.

Now the whole thing about Camaros having a new trim seems a bit gimmicky to me,
but maybe the public takes well to stuff like 'Transformers' ed. Camaro.

I don't think they will all be new trim levels, just special editions. By releasing new special editions every 6 months, they get free advertising in magazine reviews and blog sites. Most likely, a special edition will be available for a while, and then quietly disappear, replaced by another special edition. The mustang has special editions coming out of it's ass, not to mention the 47 varieties of 911.
