Test drove a 15 mustang

[Beer Thirty]

I love my camaro, great car. Have no plans to get rid of it.I have to admit the interior of the mustang blows away the camaro. Air conditioning seats are amazing. The different drive modes and the track pack option is incredible. The car drives and feels like a high end sports car. Chevy better do a major step up in the 2016. The camaro looks more aggressive then a mustang. But I did not realize how bulking and heavy the camaro feels to a mustang. Not bashing our camaros at all. Just totally to different cars. Just hope Chevy really steps the 16 up to compete with Ford.

This reads like a Ford commercial.

I sat in one for the first time on Friday and was shocked at how much better the interior is compared to the Camaro. It's like the difference between the Seahawks and the Raiders. Not even close.

Well on one hand we have a car at the end of its production cycle and another at the start.

The 2016 Gen6 Camaro will put the blue oval boys in their place.

Improvements are coming very quickly these days. This is the "good old days" for car enthusiasts.

Just like your Camaro would have seemed like a more competent car than a 2006 Mustang in 2011, the 2015 Mustang surpasses your 2011 Camaro.

This has been going on forever, but today it's going on a little quicker. if one maker didn't top another, the house falls down on performance cars.

I test drove a GT Mustang before I purchased my Z/28. Yes the interior is nice. They did a fresh upgrade to the 14 Mustang interior but there are a lot of similarities. Overall, the interior is a big plus and has good attention to detail.

The body styling is terrible IMO and doesn't appeal to me at all. Complete failure IMO. I didn't like it in pictures and was told I needed to see/experience it in person. The GT drives better than the previous mustangs but does NOT drive like a high end sports car. Very soft suspension, flops and rolls in curves when pushed hard. Steering feel is bland. Could be a very good daily driver though. Personally, I give the car 6.5 out of 10 mainly because I hate the looks. It has no character, no soul, which is opposite of the C5 Camaro or Challenger which are the last of the American muscle cars. The Mustang has completely lost it's way from it's roots. Many will disagree but that's my opinion.

I wouldn't waste a dime on it. If I wanted a euro looking car, I'd buy a BMW or a VW GTI.

BTW, in case you're wondering, I'm NOT a brand loyalist. I've owned 3 Mustang GT's and loved them all. Also, owned SRT Challenger, Charger, etc. I would much rather have a 15 SRT Challenger over the 15 Mustang GT any day of the week.

Please elaborate on how it drives and feels like a high end sports car?

The last American Mustang was obviously the 2014. I dont care for the looks of the 2015 either but it is a really nice driving car. Very refined, with great interior and Ford decided to target a different audience this time by going global to capture more sales. The 2016 camaro is what I'm personally excited about.

The 6th gen will hopefully see a major improvement in the quality of the interior. It has to. Have any of y'all seen what Dodge just did to the Challenger? Looks damn good. So Chevy now has serious competition from Ford AND Dodge in that respect.

I don't know where the thought of Mustang "taking on" European/global cues is not a part of its heritage.

The first Mustangs were advertised as "styling and features of expensive European road cars combined with an American mass-production price." That's from Ford themselves: http://www.thehenryford.org/exhibits.../1965/pr1.html

The 2015 is gorgeous in person but I have never been a fan of the interiors.

I drove an ecoboost. Was not impressed at all by the performance. Ride and feel was nice though.

The mustang doesn't do anything for me. I will give them credit for working over their interior (in fact mustang has had good interiors for a little while), but IMO Ford missed the boat on the styling. If you look very closely, the car has the same skeleton as the previous generation, but the Japanese and euro look to me betrays the pony car heritage. The rear pillars and quarter panels seem weak in appearace as well.
