Nothing there was really any big news or earth shattering revolation. It's been floating around for a while within the Ford rumor mill that the "Terminator" name was in danger due to legal, social, and image considerations. Personally I think it's being a bit anal, even though I actually do understand why.
The Terminator name was great, and Mustang Special just sounds lame. If the original name had to go, at least they could have come up with something better than that. Oh well... If I had one I'd have a "Terminator" badge made and put it on there myself. Then I'd also have a Terminator front window decal made too and put it on. I'd just make it a terminator named Mustang still myself. :-p
As for the car actually being a 2003 model, that was the information I had always been given.
