I can’t think of any other cars that compete in this segment which is a shame.
Here's another way to look at it:

315HP on the base Mustang is kinda meh. Nobody's going to get excited about that. You'd be avoiding stop lights all day.

They can't give those things away.



But 315HP on a compact SUV with AWD is something else entirely. Now you've hit a sweet spot for price/performance/utility.

The Z suffers because of it's out of touch styling and it's Japanese instead of a domestic legacy brand.
