That is silly! What about those of us who can afford a tiny percentage of our net worth for something better? What about safety/ What about capacity for people and cargo? What about comfort for those of us who drive much more than the average number of miles per year?

Ford also did not install a faster-shifting automatic or automated manual. Both facts suggest it is more for show on the street than for actual racing.

This Mustang sure looks like a hatchback, but it is not. That is unfortunate, as it would be far more useful as a hatchback, and hatchbacks are popular in Europe where Ford now hopes to sell the car.

How ironic that they show a car supposedly only available with a manual transmission and claimed to be good for normal and track use here in southern California. The last time I owned a car with a manual transmission was in 1994, and my left leg would be hurting after driving in traffic. It is...

I guess I may go to the Los Angeles Auto Show to see it, although we are going to the Detroit Auto Show in January, where I hope they will let people sit in or even drive them.

The difference between something such as this and the Hellcat is night and day. The Hellcat was designed in every way for that power level, and has a full factory warranty.

The dealership shoulders the risk of allowing people to test drive the vehicles.

It may not be necessary to import them. I had a 1996 Impala ST and was active in the club. Some people ordered the export tail lights from dealers here, especially a dealer who had excellent parts prices and service.

We were on Paris a few weeks ago, and a nothing special lunch for two is $60. We saw many torches and scooters. In that environment, it will be interesting to, see how many they sell.

First, you missed the point. The poster attached my credibility, so I provided some credentials. I'd suggest you read the wonderful best seller The Millionaire Next Door. Most self-made millionaires are not show-offs, so would not want to have a Porsche, but would like a Mustang. I was...

Unless Ford simply does not yet have the information on the GT350, they are falling behind Dodge. More performance information is now out on the Charger. Perhaps I'll be able to see a Challenger or Charger Hellcat at the OC Auto Show tomorrow. The Z06 Corvette information is also out, and it...

Thanks! However, I'd advise people to avoid any sort of financing. Pay cash or don't buy. Debt makes the lenders richer and the borrowers poorer. It is also fun buying with cash, as the car dealers just do not believe you are going to do it until you hand them the check. Debt may...

It is essential to ignore the absolute number and think of buying power. Inflation calculations are far from perfect, but using an inflation calculator, I see that $60,000 now was $21,000 in 1980, $34,000 in 1990, and $45,000 in 2000. When I bought my work vehicle, a 2014 Jeep Grand...

Competition is a good thing. The Dodge Challenger and Chargers with the Hellcat engine packages have probably lit a fire under both Ford and Chevrolet.

My 1984 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird LE four door with the turbo package and manual transmission got excellent fuel economy, and I did not baby it. I was still shifting it at red line when desired up to when I sold it with 160,000 miles on it, and it was still running like new. Our 2002 Mercedes-Benz...

Who else thinks that: 1) At the high end of the price scale, it gets close enough to the Charger or Challenger Hellcat that it seems many people would instead buy those cars. The GT350 may change that, especially since a convertible Challenger is not available. 2) For the mainstream...

How does waiting until 2016 and 2017 help when the 707 horsepower Challenger can be bought this year? They seem to be pushing the turbo-charged four. Ford's plan to use turbo-charged fours and six speed transmissions should be compared to Fiat-Chrysler's plan to offer V8s which can run as fours...

The car looks better with the flatter hood than the hood I've seen in other photos.

Pushing the turbo-charged four? Ford's plan to use turbo-charged fours and six speed transmissions should be compared to Fiat-Chrysler's plan to offer V8s which can run as fours and eight speed transmissions. The Mustang may or may not out-handle the Challenger, but passing up the opportunity to...
