Yep, my better half's 2005 Grand Cherokee is 1" shorter, and 2" narrower than a 2015 Mustang -- and it hauls three adults, 2 dogs, luggage, and gifts comfortably between CO and WI for X-Mas each year. That thing is already to big to have in the garage and have space around it to work and move...

Actually, if you would have read the quote, you would see the poster I quoted referenced and compared the S2000, Z3/4 and Boxter. I pointed out that those cars were considerably smaller no matter how big they "feel" to him. I agree with some of the things you are saying, but that still doesn't...

There are no "ricers" less than 2000lbs. Even the 2016 Miata is 2300lbs, and that is lighter than all the other imports.

The Mustang IS as big as people think it is. The Mustang is considerably bigger/heavier than an S2000, Z4, Boxter, etc. -- even my notch is bigger than those cars(and heavier than the S2000). The S550 is 8" longer, 7" wider, 2"+ taller, and 400lbs+ heavier than a fox body which also has a long...

In my opinion, the 2015 is WAY too big. I had my '92 notch parked on the street the other day and a Corolla came and parked behind me -- the Corolla was noticeably larger than my notch. I parked next to an '05 at work today, and from my 11th floor window, my car look TINY, and the '15 is even...

Fixed it for you. ;) The Prius has been ranked one of the most reliable cars on the market for a number of years now, and is arguably the most efficient in terms of economy for its owners in its price point. I would argue that is more of the reasoning. Not to defend the Prius, because I...

90 posts bickering about which car will be better in 2016, with some political nonsense thrown in there. Don't forget Faith Hill. We can argue all we want, but the Camaro will be the better car in regards to performance. Chevy has had a YEAR to make sure it is better -- and if they fail...

Actually very little of the strength of the car comes from the body panels -- it is all built into the bones. An aluminum bodied Mustang would still have a steel unit-body -- at least with this chassis.

I think the point is that if the OP can't answer his own questions, HE shouldn't be driving in the winter.

Wear mittens.

I am surprised you are the only person who has said this so far. I agree 100% -- It looks like crap from the front, and it's even more of a mess in the side shot. The front looks WAY too busy, and has a cheap aftermarket presence to it. Then there is the splitter -- sort of has a lawn edging...

Yes, safety equipment is expensive, its adds weight, and yes, it sucks when the government has its hand in too many things. But there are just some things that the government NEEDS to have say in. If they did not mandate at least some safety devices, there would be no controls no regulation...

Wow, I haven't been here for a while -- there is a lot of good reading. If Ford is embarrassed, than it stands to reason we should infer Chevy is PROUD of their accomplishment? You are right, the 05 - 14 did have those short comings, and in the case of the ZL1 -- wider/stickier tires, IRS, and...

Why does it matter if the SVO program resulted in 1 car/trim pkg or 1 million cars/trim pkgs? You completely missed the point(and yes, SVO is an awesome name). If Ford said "We only care about fuel economy right now, so the GT is going to have a 180HP V6, and it will be the most powerful...

I disagree, and as Tampa said, it won't be used, at least not if they are smart. The SVO Mustang was named after the team that worked on the car, the same team that created the line SVE(Special Vehicle Equipment). Further to that, the SVO had more premium materials in the interior, better...

I believe you are correct. BUT, I also think the name for the the V6 Turbo engine(which debuted first) evolved into Twin Force being used in reference to the dual turbo setup and big HP, by both the media and the general public -- which I think is a big part of the reason Ford didn't use the...

I was being facetious -- but regardless, the fact still stands that with less distractions there are less accidents. With less distractions the severity of accidents decreases. You can see where this is going... I agree occupant safety is occupant safety and there is no way around that. That...

It is interesting that the ever increasing need for more and more life safety equipment and devices is in part(a big part) due to everyones need to turn the automobile into a phone booth, concert hall, and internet cafe. Without all of that WEIGHT ADDING crap that takes one's attention off the...

The issue here is before it was called EcoBoost, Ford branded it as TwinForce because it was forced induction using two turbos. TF for TwinForce, or TwinForce wouldn't make sense on a single turbo 2.3. Then there is SVO which wouldn't(and shouldn't) work because Special Vehicle Operations...

I don't know -- if Lincoln existed on the level it was intended for it to exist, Ford wouldn't be stealing or confusing is customers. They would be taking BMW, Cadillac, MB, and Audi customers, etc. They just need to differentiate the brands -- Cadillac did very well with that for a while...
