It's a cruiser, with room enough in the back seat to carry 2 adults. I considered one when shopping. It was either the Mustang or the Challenger, but the dodge dealers around here were asses. I was treated like a king when I went into my local Ford dealership. So, Mustang it was. and out of all the recent mustangs, I think the 13/14 looks the best, and they were only sold for 2 years.

What's funny is that now with the 2015's out, everyone likes the 13/14 Mustang, but they sold in low numbers when they were available.

The corvette was a no-go for me, price wasn't an issue, it was the lack of a back seat. My little girl has plenty of room back there and loves to ride in it.

My wife is a Camaro fan, but she likes the 10-13's the best.

Although, the GT350 with the 5.2 flat plane crank sings, and it calls to me sometimes. Shame the body style is a hack job. Headlights from the 99-04 New Edge mustangs, Grill from the Aston Martin's of old. Tail lights out of the junk yard. The toggle switches are nice, but aren't true toggle switches. It just doesn't do it for me, sadly.

If there were no pony cars. I'd probably be driving an F150, possibly the Raptor. The ride is smooth and soaks up the bumps. Rides like the Jaguars of old, but the interior is very high-end. (my pop has a 2013 Lariat).

There was no doubt the Camaro was coming back. GM was just waiting to price itself back INTO the market. They priced themselves out of the market back when they discontinued them, the same way the Supra priced itself out of the American market back in the day.

I'd have gotten my self a Cobalt SS. Spend the left over cash on a bumper with two exhaust cuts, upgrade the super, get some nicer wheels and be happy.

I sold it to a fella that is now doing a full blown, frame off, 100% restoration! I took that money and ordered Ragnar for my DD.

The WRX. I got to the dealership ready to sign the papers and the salesman told me he couldn't do the trade-in price we agreed to on the phone. So i left and a couple months later got a camaro.

Fail.

If the 5th gen never was the Mustang V8 would probably still have 300 hp and there would have been no need to bring back the 5.0 GT.

If there was no Camaro it would have been a CTS coupe for me.
