Longevity might not be a problem if you only keep your cars 5 years, but to me, it's a big deal. Even IF the next Mustang is a little faster, it doesn't beat Camaro in overall long-term quality, and certainly doesn't beat it in looks.

I'll be sticking with the Camaro.
I don't want to burst your ubble, but GM cars aren't exactly bulletproof, in the last few years I had to replace the transmission in the 00 Grand Prix, just over 100k miles, and my parents Lumina also blew it's transmission with just over 140k, and their Regal, among 1000 other problems, has a transmission on it's way out with well UNDER 100k miles..... My Fords and CHryslers are all much better!
