I think it might be ok for the cars marketed towards young women or retired people to be heavy on screens and other fluff and not as easy to repair, but I can't imagine most Mustang buyers are shopping for the biggest, best screens and graphics. Mustang people are looking for performance at a...

My guess is the Raptor name and products sell really well for Ford and make them money within the current regulatory environment of the US. Mustang sold really well as a cheaper, fun product, but it isn't doing as well for sales as a premium product. I think Ford likes to sell high-margin...

As a Ford guy, this is tough to read, but I can't disagree with the general direction of what you were saying. The "mods and body kit" is a complete mischaracterization. Period. But what Ford should have done is designed the S650 with a transaxle and SLA front and rear suspension. All S650s...

Tires always come up when people want an excuse. Like the SS 1LE was faster than the GT350 non R until Ford put comparable tires on the GT350.

The C7 GS I drove was a super low miles creampuff and it was terrible before I even got out of the dealership parking lot. I got back in my Camaro afterwards and it was so quiet and smooth by comparison I had no desire left for that C7. They could have given it to me and I would have...

Wondering if the C8 is better than the C7 as far as squeaks and rattles? I really liked my C5. But I agree with others that a Camaro is a good compromise. I would recommend you even check out non-supercharged 6 gen Camaros. I think they are pretty fun. Build quality seems a lot better to...

Yeah, there's no such thing as zero miles. I guess they can't be bothered to write the actual mileage. Definitely if you buy a GT350R and never drive it, the value will increase somewhat over time. The highest mileage GT350R I see on Cars.com has 33,000. Not much for a 11 year old vehicle...

Awesome looking car. I liked my 2011 a lot, but I do think the IRS in the S550 is a big upgrade over the solid rear axle cars. I wasn't excited about IRS when it was first announced, but I was wrong about that change. I think S550 is great in general. Pretty much the worst flaws are the auto...

I'm the same way. I love to try different cars. But there's just not anything I want to trade the Mustang for. It's set up for track days, which took me a while. It was cheap and has about 36,000 miles on it, so it's still in pretty decent condition. I did sell the LT1 Camaro and am...

What can I say? 4 door vehicles are garbage to me compared to 2 doors. Mustang originally was a cheap, fun car. It's definitely evolved since then. Sales for 2026 so far of Mustang 32,000. Sales for the electric thing Ford also calls Mustang in 2026 so far were 13,495. The Mach E sales are...

I'm fine if Ford wants to build a new Crown Vic, but as a unibody rather than a full frame car. Great. I always liked those big, slow comfortable cruisers with the same drivetrain as a Mustang. With the mass of the S650 Mustang being within about 200 lbs of the former Crown Vic, they are...

People will pay more for low miles. If I were in the market, I'd look for something with a bunch of miles just to save the money on it. I don't trust a car that hasn't been driven much. But that viewpoint is very uncommon. Most people think it's fine if a car sits 99% of the time.

Yes, magazine times prioritized over driver enjoyment.

I'm pretty sure BMW makes that car you described. Exactly what you are asking for. Yes it costs more than a Mustang. Obviously, you add a bunch of stuff and the vehicle will cost more.

Hydrogen works fine as a fuel. I read an article where someone ran a Coyote on it. If it's really important to you, consider converting your car to burn hydrogen. Gasoline is cheaper and more readily available though. It's a better choice for the foreseeable future. I prefer engines that...
