Great looking car.

Sad frown on the seats.

Midnighter, don’t become one of those smug Christmas bastards who gets the new car with the red bow on the front.

 

[RU31trap]

That's one beautiful car.

Ha! Only car this Christmas will be something for my two year old son. Maybe a Batmobile. He doesn’t care about bows. Or cars really.

That is a cool car! Two best chase scenes ever:. Bullit and French Connection!

That is a great looking car. And it has a cool heritage.

Seats are actually the only part of the car I like. Nothing wrong w recaro buckets. Look forward to future videos of these losing control at cars and coffee.

Nice styling, but it's still a Ford.

Bullet Mustang one of my favorite cars ever. And the new one looks awesome. A word of precaution though: I had an opportunity to drive a mustang for a week three years ago. It had the 5.0 liter V8. My impression was that the engine was way over-powered for the rest of the car. It felt very unstable and like it could go out of control at any time. Perhaps it was just me.

Personally, I like the Carrera much more for balance, performance, handling.

Oh yeah, those are comparable cars.

A mustang and a carrera.

You know... I drove a v-8 mustang recently too... personally I favor the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.

ha! All fair points. for me, I'd get a six year old 911 instead of the brand new car of just about any type if it is a purchase situation. But some people really like that new car feeling...I get it.

Well a six year old carrera will cost you ~10k more than this new car.

I don't buy new cars, but that's besides the point.

The appropriate car to compare to a Mustang is a BMW 3 series... or from the VW family the Passat.

The Mustang is an inexpensive muscle car. This is just a derivative of that platform.

Ford has a car meant to compete with the Porsche Carrera. It is called a Ford GT.

Man, I was with you until this:
"The appropriate car to compare to a Mustang is a BMW 3 series... or from the VW family the Passat."

I would assume you're joking, but everything else in your posts on this thread have been accurate (i.e. not joking).

Well I was talking cost mostly. VW doesn't really have an equivalent. But the entry level mustang is extremely cheap... equivalent to a Passat.

Agree. And that Ford platform is what leads to the imbalance, IMHO. Really, if you are patient, you can pick up a great car. My 911 is over 10 years old and only had 22,000 on it when I bought it (in philly at the McClaren dealership last spring). Friend of mine got a 1999 911 in MD that had 30,000 miles for $24,000. It came with a removable hardtop. it was pristine but he put $4,000 into getting it up to snuff (stereo/phone, brakes, tires).

I love the mustang for looks.

Ah ok, gotcha.

With that said, I must be in the wrong line of work, as I've never thought of the VW Passat as "extremely cheap."
