GENEVA – Ford Motor Co.’s design studios worldwide will provide styling ideas for an American icon: the next generation Mustang.

“It is a common process we [now] use on every vehicle,” Derrick Kuzak, Ford’s group vice president for global product development, said today at the Geneva auto show.

Ford’s next-generation pony car will be the first Mustang with styling themes proposed by studios in Europe, Australia and other regions. Previously, Ford’s U.S. studio was solely responsible for Mustang design.

“When we embark on a new product, particularly one that is all new, it involves all of the studios. Then J [Mays] and the design team pick the best of those themes,” Kuzak told Automotive News. Mays is Ford’s global design chief. Ford adopted the global design approach three years ago. Read more!

The community, which has over 940,000 members was asked to submit ideas for names, with these being posted in a special gallery on the Mustang’s Facebook page, where the top five will be voted by the public. Subsequently, Ford will choose one of these names.

The winner, which can be proud of the fact that he/she has brought a contribution to the Mustang legend, will receive a two-year lease on a 2012 Mustang V6 with the Performance Package. Read more!
