Not to mention that Ford is going to do everything in it's power to make sure the Mustang is priced under the Camaro. Complete restyle and brand new drivetrain is going to add enough money.

I have sources that say we're all going to sink under the weight of communism, but that doesn't make it etched in stone.

I'm curious where the Mustang doesn't meet current safety standards. Or is it just that it hasn't been tested against current standards, and we are pending results?

The covertible Mustang GT just got a 5 star crash rating a year or two ago, and I would be hard-pressed to believe a car could go from a 5 star rating to a zero rating just like that.
