Net: They improved it a lot over previous years.

The looks are not too bad up close. The front seems a bit long, but when you open the hood, there really isn't much room left in the engine compartment.

It is now heavier. Hmmm....

My right knee now fits properly! The paddle shifter seemed like a good design. The interior is much nicer other than a few knobs/switches (see below). The steering wheel no longer looks/feels like a toy. The Radio/Nav seems pretty refined. It has nice leather - and wait for it - memory seats.

The performance upgrade kit (6 piston Brembos, suspension, etc.) includes DOT4 brake fluid.

Side note: They will sell you an upgraded intake and a software upgrade to max it out - THAT DOESN'T VOID YOUR WARRANTY!

I only had 5 issues with this car:

1) Interior radio/AC knobs and performance controls are cheap, cheap, cheap plastic.
2) Didn't see a HUD - not sure if it is available.
3) Hood support rod is still manual.
4) It wasn’t a convertible.
5) It’s a Mustang.

For a daily driver torque monster it’s not too bad though.

Chevrolet is going to have to step up their game with the Gen6 Camaro. It has to be a performance beast with the expected items currently missing, low end or behind the times. My hope is since it's based off the same platform as the Cadillac that anything Chevrolet forgets to add/upgrade can be borrowed from the equivalent Cadillac.

Mustang don't have HUD nor does the Challenger!
