Mustangs tailor to so many people and that's why they give you so many options. It's why they have different GT models like GT Premium. Most people don't care about the axle. People want different things out of the Mustang.
Of course I know that. My point was there are things OnStar can do that SYNC can not do. So GM offers another technology that Ford can't match. Which one is better depends on the customer.

And btw many people do care about the axle. The IRS is a superior solution that in a performance car should be a given. It is a lower cost lower mass solution that allows for some of the Mustangs lower weight and allows money to be spent in other places like a giant metal plate across the I/P........if you like that sort of thing and many do.

You are really missing my point. Both are outstanding cars. GM and Ford have made different decisions on balancing these cars for cost, mass and features. If they used the same data and made the same decisions, we probably wouldn't be having this disucssion....................unless you wanted to say one car was better because fo the colors available.
