How is this thread still going?
The mustang, like a corvette, delivers a lot of value in their package. It does NOT appeal to everybody though and it isn't designed to. Buyer priorities in cars have a massive range and THAT is why they will pick one car over the other. I applaud Ford for making a car that can apparently compete in performance with a car touted to be so much better, but at the same time it will be hard to deliver the handling and comfort that BMW traditionally brings with their cars. I think we would all probably agree that the BMW is more refined when you're sitting and driving both of them, but you always have to ask "Is it worth the additional costs?"
