Edit - I kind of have to use the first person adjective in that situation, otherwise the conversation is about each person's car's self-esteem, which would be about as stupid as injecting penises (yes, that was on purpose) into a car conversation.

Man all I know is what I read. This thread has become yet one more Mustang vs Camaro penis measuring contest.

:upset:



Mods can't you just close this thread already!? We've strayed so far off topic until it's ridiculous. Now we're talking about mental complexes, fanboys, and the integrity of many people who post in this very thread. .........Seems like a typical day on Camaro5.

No, we don't actually do that any more. Now it's mostly Camaro/car guys talking, with occasional Mustang trolls attempting to designate "fact" and "opinion" for all of us.

Well I take back everything I said then. My apologies.

I think there should be a Mustang defenders club. You could all have little badges and have meetings and stuff. That way you can really nail down that agenda. Sorry, couldn't help myself

[IamLliw]

well guys. honestly.

seems like the real reason WE ALL should be hating on motor trend is how little objectivity it has.
of all the automotive magazines out there, i'd say motor trend is the worst. it's opinions about new cars change all the time (same writers, editors watever the crap). furthermore, the only time its opinion doesn't change is when it comes to mustangs or ford cars. it's never very objective in its reviews, like the mustangs always get more props (even if they suck, like the 2010 model year).

i just wish there were more magazines out there that can objectively give me what i want to know about a new car. or any fancy new stuff out there if i can't afford it (ala ferraris and porches and whatever).

in the end, the magazines are sway to bias. cause we are all human lol.

btw. WHY THE HELL DON'T FORD REDESIGN THE MUSTANG. i'm gettin sick of its looks. and for the better part of the last 20 years, it's looked like shit.

i loved the old school ones (and my sister really wants one).

I personally think they have done a good job with the front end with the 2010-11. I haven't liked the looks of the Mustang since 1970.

I consider that article to be worthless considering the Hyundai Genesis was put ahead of any of those cars in the test. Its the biggest joke in that class. Sloppy chassis, poor handling, terrible gearbox, unrefined/weak engine, and typical garbage Hyundai quality. It should be dead last in ANY test.

typical garbage Hyundai quality?it ranks higher than mercedes,toyota,honda,ford, and chevrolet in quality according to JD Power.

"This year, the industry average is 108 PP100, demonstrating a steady improvement from 118 PP100 in 2008, and 125 PP100 in 2007. In addition to the marked improvement by the industry overall, many brands continued to perform well in 2009. Following Lexus and Porsche is Cadillac (which moves from 10th rank position in 2008 to third in 2009), Hyundai (jumping from 13th rank position in 2008 to 4th in 2009) and Honda (up from 7th in 2008 to 5th in 2009). Infiniti, second in last year's study, drops to 11th overall, while Suzuki posts the largest improvement in ranking, moving from 32nd place in 2008 to 9th in 2009. The complete J.D. Power press release and charts can be found after the jump and in the gallery below.

You realize it is quicker than the Camaro V6, handles better, has a good gearbox, and Hyundai is getting great quality scores? You just described the opposite of the car. Honestly just because you don't like it for whatever reason doesn't mean you need to post a bunch of untrue claims.......
