Good grief. The reasons why the 4th Gen's had so many workarounds and solutions were because they were made pretty terribly. Awful rears, mediocre transmissions, plastic everything, the window...

Interesting. So for it to be $250,000 worth of wheels and tires, they're saying each wheel and tire combination is worth $1,302.08, meaning it should cost $5,208.33 for a set of 4 wheels and tires....

The new Mustang makes the previous generation look dated.

The Gen 5, in my opinion, has much more staying power than the Gen 6. This includes the Gen 5 refresh - it is not nearly as "classic" as...

I believe you'd be incorrect.

It is cost, plain and simple. The evidence that it is cost is that sales are simply not slowing. They are migrating to the Mustang and Challenger platform. ...
