I spent a good part of this morning looking over the new Mustangs. I am not sure if anyone else has taken a closer look but I have to voice my opinion.

Needless to say I was not impressed.

Downs:

Uncomfortable: The front seat controls suck, very little leg room up front and there is absolutly no room in the back. Very little trunk space.

Cheap look & feel: The dash is plain jane flat, no real contours, nothing really to focus on. Plastic parts galore, it looks very fragile.


Up side: 4.6L V8 on the GT. 220HP for the V6.


V6 Model $20K GT $27 - $30K


Just my .02.....

 

t personlly i think that your 2 cents is worth far more than the actual car itself. i am sure that all mc drivers would agree, right fellas...........

 

Funny you mention the back seats of the new mustang being so small. Check out the link below. This new GT was rear ended at 50mph and had there been anyone in the back they would be dead. The seats are small because they don't want anyone sitting back there.

i dont write for a mag...i write for an online company...its a long story...lol...i have done one on the 06 monte..it just hasnt gotten funneled through yet...i do about 5 or so a week...they are shorter than you would see in the big magazines like C&D or R&T...less opinion...i did the new hummer today...i provide just about any info a prespective buyer may want to know..like color choices, options, new features..powertrains available..so on...

i have not done the GTO yet...but i may...i hate the mustang, and while i am a dodge guy...the GTO tops my list of non-dodge cars that i would buy...i see alot of them around here..and driving the other way, i saw a bright yellow with the scoops and duals (aftermarket) and i revved to see what he would do, and from a 20 or so mph roll, he jumped it and roasted the tires...i think that they are very hot cars...alot of potential..however..if i was to get one..i would find a way to get the holden badges to be different..

 

Sounds like a pretty cool job there Patrick...

I fell in love with the GTO the first test drive, on a closed course mind you. I thought it was a much better car than even the new vette. Of course we had a nanny riding with us on the vette so i am sure if I were able to abuse it like we did the GTO my opinion would be a little different.

I am dead set on doing what ever it takes to get into a GTO after the Monte is paid off.
