I'm right between these two positions ATM....

^ Little wonder they are struggling to say afloat.

There's another side to that. Cars that feel like you are doing 50 when you are going 100 can be very boring to drive (without putting your license on the line all the time) because you are never anywhere near the car's capacity at legal speeds or even when moderately hooning. The trick is build...

With first drives you really have to read between the lines and note the omissions in what is talked about, there's an unspoken rule that you don't get too critical in your writeups of these junkets - after all, the manufacturer is paying all the bills and you want to get invited to the next...

Brakes - they always seem to be weak link in sports coupes (see: BMW). On the track test drives they had to come into the pits after all of 1 hot lap - why? so that reviewers would not be whining about cooked brakes. Thanks Brembo and Ford for the total fail. Remind us - what are people paying...

Prbably the best and most comprehensive review so far - but I still would have liked more commentary on the tactility and feedback coming through the steering. This reviews seems to classify it as a GT rather than a sports car which is not what I want to be hearing... I was hoping for agility...

Steering can be "direct" without having any feel to speak of - a lot of the reviews of current performance cars call the steering "direct" or "precise" and still complain that they are numb and provide very little feedback about the road or traction limits being reached. EPAS is a big part of...

It's pretty much a given that first-drive reviews (done, not coincidentally, on the manufacturer's dime) tend to ignore or minimize weaknesses that become clearer in later comparisons. With that in mind I'm not too impressed so far - reading between the lines it seems it still handles like a...

This bit is worth noting too: Looks like you might be faced with a choice - optimal handling (EB), or the sound-and-fury option (V8). I noticed there is nothing at all about steering feel in the review - I doubt that is an accident, and it's not too encouraging.

Those curves....the thing may as well redline at 5700 rpm, the rest is useless. No thanks - if I wanted a diesel engine, I'd go VAG...

It's a bit surprising to me given the resources Ford had to work with and the major changes it's made to the Mustang's design that more progress wasn't evident to the reviewers. A cash-strapped GM did a fantastic job with the C7, what will they accomplish with the new Camaro...

I agree it's weak porridge here. Given the way new versions of iconic sports/performance cars are typically praised in the first drive reviews above and beyond their merits (which get more fully revealed in later comparison tests), if we discount an "inflation factor" from these first...
