Besides handing over sedan market share to every other auto maker, Ford's going to be an oil price spike away from asking for another multi-billion dollar "R&D loan" from Uncle Sam.
Performance cars are always in the crosshairs when people talk about CAFE restrictions when it's these big...
I think the sales breakdown of the past few years is correct for the philosophy of Ford, GM and Dodge. And they're all bullheaded about maintaining their identity regardless of sales and performance.
You have to REALLY want a Camaro to sit in that thing for very long and you have to value...
The Camaro is the most expensive of the three. It's getting the same result as the F150 vs the Silverado. The F150 is cheaper while the Silverado has a higher tow capacity. Guess which one sells better?
As long as you don't option it, the 2018 Mustang will still come in cheaper than the...
There's no way Chevrolet's getting those numbers with the SS. The 4-bangers are competitively priced but in my area the SS stickers for at least $4k more than a GT. And that's with dealerships claiming several thousand off MSRP.
I don't see how anybody could buy a SS without feeling somewhat...
Before the recent plummet in sales I wouldn't have expected a performance increase but now it seems likely. 475HP and 450 TQ sounds about right. Maybe let some GT350 parts trickle down as options as well...
And Ford can do better with the V6. I wouldn't call the new Camaro 6 a sleeper but at...
This is the best render I've seen in a long time.
I'd laugh if Ford got this out the door next year because it looks like the sloping hood is exactly what Chevy is trending toward with the Camaro. They've pinched the upper grille down so much they can barely fit the bowtie in it anymore...
But let's be honest. Chevy wasn't chasing Ford when they put IRS in the Gen5. They could have easily gotten away with a live rear axle. And it's not an amazing coincidence that the 2011 Mustang got a 100HP boost across the board.
Every time a new Mustang or Camaro comes out they have one...
Whatever the case they would really be doing the world a favor if they dropped that corporate grille it's got now. You build an engine exclusively for the Mustang--the car that is the true face of your company's heritage--and fudge it up with a Fusion look.
I'm sure it made all kinds of...
Imagine how many R&D dollars both companies could save if track times didn't matter. Just throw a big V8 in a nice body and fire up the production lines!
In reality, handling is part of the evolution of this segment and it's a big part of what justifies buying the latest model instead of an...
ANY CAR WITHOUT CARBON CERAMIC CUP HOLDERS IS BENEATH ME.
Seriously, there's nothing wrong with exotic sports cars as long as they have the performance to back it up. The problem is that gap in power they once had is almost gone but the ridiculous asking price for European performance cars...
I hope this does light a fire under team Ford because the engines they produced for the 15 were underwhelming across the board. A power *loss* for the 6?
It looked like they were betting that a new Mustang would sell no matter what they put in it. Once the newness wears off and a better...
