Nice! 9" wheels in the front, and 10" in the back. Same front track, and the slightly wider rear track we already knew about from the mules. Shock and spring calibration taking place, along with traction control and probably anti-lock too. Big data being collected to crunch later. There will be...

All those reasons - and IT ISN'T SELLING! The entire large car segment isn't selling at anywhere near the levels it used to, much less at a volume that can sustain the required investment in the plants and infrastructure. Much less where investment can be justified to to create a new one since...

That's what they said in the big press conference in Australia last week. I just assume they are giving it an extra year to develop the right hand drive model. Maybe that means spring of 2015, model year 2016. In any case, it's coming... and hopefully the import duty won't be too high. You folks...

Yes, the base weight is what matters here and I can see the 4 cylinder EcoBoost in the 3200 range, if it's offered as an econo model and not a premium model. We won't know for sure until next spring. It's good you raised the beemer point... I have to wonder how this will be seen against...

Exactly: like-to-like it'd be 200 pounds, not 400. And thats assuming the exact same engine and transmissions... any 8-speed autos or a stronger 6-speed manual for the V-8s (that probably won't make it in time) would add weight. As would options like power seats, thousand-watt sound systems, nav...

Which, for the hundredth time in these forums, they did not. The new IRS is of no relationship to the Falcon IRS - nor do we want it to be. The Falcon IRS was good for it/s time, but it was also rejected over 10 years ago for the 2005 because it's a collection of cheap stampings, resulting in...

That is the actual window line. If you look at it form other angles, it's not blocked off or made smaller. The side window glass is *tiny*, just like a Camaro's. And if you look at the pic of the driver, the window sill at just above his shoulder line. The glass is about 2.5" shorter than...

Their article says a whole lot of nothing in a lot of paragraphs. And their source is just "some guy", who could as far as anybody knows just be a dealer salesman (who know nothing, and won't know anything for some time). Or a janitor on the assembly line who claims this is a Fusion underneath...

How about Leno and Allen together? Did you ever see the two appearances on The Tonight Show where Allen and Leno drag raced out in the parking lot? See the two videos here: www.drivingenthusiast.net/sec-blog/?p=16364 Watch the two videos in the reverse order of how I posted them... so that you...

Good articles, right on. But one thing is that the V60 has no relationship to modern Fords. It's the V80 that was "taken". And since then the rear suspension was redesigned. Let's also hope that if tubular hydroformed steel can be used for the A-pillar of the new Mustang, that it results in a...

Well what do you have here? A retarded guy, a gomer, and a person with no personality. The contrast to the British version is startling. It couldn't be more different. Is that really what Clarkson thinks is representative of America? And if they'd just give us that show, live, without delay -...

Too many other sources are idealistic.. what they want versus what we've seen in reality. Some find it hard to face the reality. And I discussed before what "evolution" means. Yes, there is a gray zone where you can call something "new" or "all new" (as dealer ads always do for a new year of the...

No need to be dramatic. Why would Chevy be worried? They have their own new Camaro on the Alpha chassis coming up, and it's far lighter. The chassis is drilled all over. Every pointless ounce is taken out. And the suspension architecture is better than S550. GM has put it's big money into...

The 4 cylinder model might end up under the weight of the C7. It's entirely possible *if* a 200 pound reduction can be attained - which means the lighter 4-cylinder (than the current V-6), the loss of some length (as detailed in my post on the analysis of the measurements of the prototypes), and...

The "fog" lights are all but useless due to federal standards. IMHO, they should be ditched unless those standards can change. Which is entirely unlikely since the science these days is in the headlamps themselves.

Some people continue to believe that just because a particular model or car is seen somewhere in this country, particularly around Detroit, that it will be offered in this country. They forget that this is Ford's worldwide headquarters, and that means more than accounting. I've seen stuff in...

What we see as a grill likely isn't completely open. Look at the current car for an example. Here's a problem with the current car for some of us: the airflow is poor for track use. But necessarily so for street use purposes: air flowing over the car instead of thru the cramped engine...

Except that the new Camaro will have the same exact engine and transmission that the C7 has. And may well weigh less than the Mustang, or at least identical. And the Camaro will eventually get all the same optional engines the C7 has, perhaps a bit detuned in the upper end. That story is yet to...

Don't forget how much of the 55-60k has to go to ole man Shelby for licensing his name. Of course, he has exactly as much to do with the actua development of the car now as he did when he was alive. Zero.

It's a good article, and De Lorenzo always has the guts to write the truth. Kudos to him. And the truth here as he expresses it won't always be accepted by some elements of this group, while others will correctly see it as the only way the Mustang can get ahead of itself and move into the future...
