I think its pretty simple really.

First off, no I would not have bought the V6 with just 210 HP. Performance does matter.

But even if the SS had 500 HP but wasn't great to look at I'd pass on that too. Everyone knows the Mustang GT is a great performer. What was the one thing everyone here complained about??....the look. Specifically those tailights.

Looks matter as much or more than performance to all but the most hardcore...and the ones that hardcore are just going to mod or build the kind of performance they want anyways. Don't kid yourself.

0% chance! In fact they could not pay me to own another.

Same here. I've been much happier with my mini and now my TT.

Make it lighter, get rid of the blind spots, keep the pricing reasonable, and I'm in. My Charger has less than 60k miles and the front end is just one piece after another to replace and it still clunks and rattles. Couple that with the lack of tuning, price and ugly redesign I'm not going for a 2012+ srt8 like I had planned. It's down to either the new Ford Mustang (not likely as I don't care for Ford products but who knows) or new Chevy Camaro for me in 2015. I really believe GM will knock this one out of the park just like the 5th Gen.

If it's smaller and lighter with similar power level, I'll get one.

I'm on my second 5th gen, so it seems likely I'll be interested in a 6th. I'm anxious to see it since it's likely it will appear after the updated IRS Mustang makes the scene.

If it comes with good gears, is lighter and doesn't have that AFM garbage on it, I would probably consider it. However, if Ford keeps spanking Chevy the way they have been, I can foresee a switch in my future.

So if Chevy takes the car we have and just makes it better as opposed to a total re-design then thats good. if they totally change it then i guess we'll have to wait and see how it looks first.
I will definitely document this feedback in our database for GM to take a look at. Thank you!

If it looks good and has good power with those awesome track features Ford has built into it's DIC I'll buy another one! Also if Chevy gives us this much custom and features I'm defiantly sold.

For me it depends on a few things...

1. where i'm living at the time... currently i'm exploring the options of moving overseas so i wouldnt be getting a car until i know where ill be living, and even then, some places it would be silly to even have a car because streets are too busy.

2. depends on what the new gen looks like and the features it comes with.
