If competition makes something good, why ignore it. Products become better with good competition. If there is no competition, companies will not put effort into making a good product. Camaro and Challenger helps by giving us better Mustang. Same goes other way. Consumer wins. Ford has great...

Interior volume of Honda Fit will rival Ford Escape and many crossovers. Exterior dimensions might be small, but they do great packaging. Fit is not in the same category of other subcompacts when it comes to interior space. Its truly well and above. Ford's EB is much smaller than Fit's 1.5 NA...

CTS is shocking in 2014. Why not Corvette Stingray if they want GM car. Fiesta ST deserves a spot. I think this year would be VW GTI. Honda Fit, New Genesis, Accord Hybrid, M4,... there are many good ones though.

Amazing engine. No idea why this is offered without options. It does 0-60 in like 8 secs, not close to sports cars. But it is fascinating piece of technology, it is the best engine from Ford I think. Driving slow cars faster is more fun than driving fast cars slow. People beating the hell out...

I am with you. GTI is in my mind ahead of Fiesta ST, just becasue of interior room it offers. Mustang main comparison would be the other rear drive or AWD coupes from Japan, Germany and Korea. 370Z, 335i/235i, S5, S3, G37/Q60, STI, Genesis Coupe V6, etc. Mustang EB can beat hot hatches...

Simply Beautiful. The blackened roof, hood scoops, wheels everything looks amazing. I guess some of the front end also has been made black. What did you have in mind, Race red or Ruby Red?

Focus ST got rave reviews over its sound. Ecoboost will sound well I guess.

Looking at the Dyno numbers, EB should be close to GT on performance. EB will start making power way low down, 320hp max at just 3000rpm. Assuming 275bhp at the wheel and max torque starting a much lower rpm, coupled with 200lbs less weight, EB might even be faster at the start. GT might take...

I was in college when 05 came out, it was a big draw. I thought S197 was revolutionary for its time. Coming to 2015, Mustang has one up on Camaro with Ecoboost, lighter weight and decent interiors, although 6.2L direct injected V8 is superior to Coyote. New Camaro mules from spy shots still seem...

Makes sense. Camaro made a big dent. But crazy numbers in mid to late 60's. I am suprised by lack of spike in 2004. 2005 S197 model did not have a huge jump. I expected lot more. S197 was a radical model at that time. Overall this segment might be shrinking in US. Of course in...

Dyno run for EB on the same dyno would be interesting compare. Peak power is at high rpm, max torque on stock is 4400 rpm. The stock figures on GT looks low, maybe it could be the dyno.

Jockeys on the Horses are so thin like 120 lbs. Race car drivers are way too heavy in comparison. Heard in Middle East, they make kids race camels as they are lighter.

Too big and heavy luxo barge. Jalopnik call its beluga whale. http://jalopnik.com/2015-lexus-rc-f-the-worlds-first-v8-powered-drifting-b-1630061612 MPG numbers are not bad for the weight, most buyers won't look at this. M4 will not beat it by 3 to 1, but it will be 10 to 1. RS5 is Direct...

I thought the Europeans are gonna get Focus RS tailor made. Mustang could not sell in any significant volume outside US. 66K out of around 77K are sold in US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mustang#cite_note-86...

FYI, off topic. Honda, a big proponent of NA is also finally giving up and turning to Turbos - its inevitable change. Here are some Honda turbo engines that we might see in future. http://www.autocolumn.com/2014/03/hondas-vtech-turbo-engines/ Future could hold a Civic Si AWD with 2 liter turbo...

It will be turbo for sure. NA is history for smaller cars, except for the weird BRZ/FRS. I am reading it may use 1.3 liter turbo. http://www.roadandtrack.com/go/future-cars/future-car-news/2016-mazda-mx-5-miata-prototype-test-mule Imagine a 2 liter turbo making 250 horses or how about a...

Surprised to read M235i is 175in with 35.6ft turning radius, that's as big as a old series coupe. I guess 2 is the new 3 for BMW whose cars are becoming porky. Here is a video of much lighter underpowered Cayman with 275hp/213lbft torque easily beating M235i. [ame] EB vs FRS/BRZ. Older Mustang...

I thought the chrome in cupholder edges are for premium trim. Is that even in Base.

TSW Nuburgring looks nice in Matte Bronze. Gunmetal is also neat. They are expensive at $300+ for 19in. Do they ever have special sales at lower prices?
