I can't believe, even for a millisecond, that these numbers satisfy GM's plan for the 6th gen.

I suggest you get the cheaper Mustang if you're a practical buyer! This car isn't cheap, GM put a lot of work into it and the price is justifiable.
If you're a really practical buyer, why are you looking at a high performance car? You want to purchase a high performance vehicle but want GM to consider the practical buyers? It doens't make sense.
That's why there are V6's and inline 4 turbos.
I'm actually loving how the SS aren't really selling.. they SHOULDN'T because it's not catered to the practical buyer, to those who aren't willing to pay $ money for the extra performance and gadgets.
Once a car gets to the 40k range, it won't sell as much volume period.
Thus, this thread should be really why the V6/i4 aren't selling..
