Don't you just hate those guys..?

They are like farts in the wind. Take it with a grain of salt.

They rank 7 cars. pretty good read.

The Camaro was starting to reel it in about halfway through... and the mustang won by a little under a car length.

AZCamaroFan · 05-03-2010, 04:33 PM

Actually reading that the Camaro's styling is already old and "cartoonish" calls into question their sanity. "The Camaro's no match for the GT." As if dude.
Hey enjoy that Genesis too, loser!
With this much sense these guys must still be trying to flip houses and get into the nasdaq stock boom.

Unfair · 05-03-2010, 04:34 PM

I don't know how the genesis fits in there lol

nachocheese · 05-03-2010, 04:34 PM

Did you notice that one of those guys ranked the V6 Challenger above the SS. That is ridiculous! Hmmm, every single one picked the stang first. Isn't that interesting. Motor Trend is crap. They are paid advertisers for whoever has the newest car. I like to read the articles for the performance numbers, but the rankings just piss me off.

They have favored the Camaro then the next day they'll favor the mustang etc..

klatterblast · 05-03-2010, 04:39 PM

those other cars are usually in my blind spot

Sounds like Ford ringers and payola to me.....

a_Username · 05-03-2010, 04:44 PM

The style is old and cartoonish? Idk what that makes its competitors, because the last time I checked it was the Camaro that won the Design of the Year award.

What where they when they favored the camaro? just wondering.

*Camaro_Corvette* · 05-03-2010, 04:46 PM

Wow, that looks like a completely unbiased set of ranks. I just can not stand reading Motor Trend lately. Or any other car magazine for that matter. Don't mind all the awards that the camaro has won this year Motor Trend. The mustang is still better because the 7 of you love it..

EDIT: OMG, I just realized after reading the article that the camaro is a Total POS. Why over a 100,000 people bought the car last year is beyond me.

Hey now! These aren't personal opinions, this is evidence of one car being better than another!

I'd love to take that "evidence" and shove it up their collective a***s.

6 out of 7 ranked the V6 camaro (and come on guys, stop calling it the RS already!) 2nd to last? And seriously, whats with so many people ranking the V6 mustang over the SS? The SS stomps it in virtually every area.

yeah...complete crap.

SS 376 · 05-03-2010, 05:29 PM

C&D, Motor Trend, Road & Track... don't read any of them. It's basically a lot of written masturbation to the latest PorscheBMWFordFerrari. Even if for some reason Chevy is on top, it's just a bunch of ads dressed up as journalism. If you're gonna consistently try to tell me what car to buy... maybe you should be paying me to read your magazine.

That's why I stick to Hot Rod & Super Chevy.

rayhawk · 05-03-2010, 05:32 PM

I am embarrased for them. Who compares V6 base models to V8 performance models? That is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. These are performance cars, guys, not corollas and civics. How is the Hyundai, which is at the bottom in performance ranked so highly, and the Camaro SS, which is neck and neck with the Mustang GT, at the bottom?

I remember in the comparison between the new 2011 Mustang V6, 2010 Genesis 3.8, 2010 Camaro 2LT (I'm assuming it was the 2LT, cause they always call it the RS for some weird reason), and 2010 Dodge Challenger SE, they stated that the reason the Genesis won the test was because it was the vehicle that "felt most like a sport coupe." Mustang placed 2nd, even though it wiped the floor with the Genesis in all of the performance tests. The Camaro was only a tenth behind the Genesis in the 1/4 mile.
