And if you really pay attention, you see it in almost every circumstance.
And yet...this is also why Ford sells more Mustangs...the buying public-at-large wants a cheap V8, and they don't realize how horrible the chassis/handling is in those models, because they've never driven one of the better ones.

Because the difference in dynamics doesn't really come into play when you driving home from the grocery store.
GM dropped the ball with the gun slit windows of the 6th gen. Sure, it looks fantastic, but it makes the car much more difficult to live with. Also, the packaging on the Alpha isn't great. The Mustang is a much more livable daily driver.
The Mustang has dominated in sales since the beginning. Clearly, Ford understands what people want in the car and builds that car.
