    That's not a TOY Congrats. I wasn't impressed with the interior for the price, but that car isn't about interior

    Nice, is that a 2013? I was just reading about the 2013 last night in 5.0 Mustang.

    I can understand that. The leather Recaro seat option helped a lot with that for me.

    As far as raw performance goes though, the next closest thing is the Caddy CTS-V coupe and its much nicer interior would have cost me an extra $22500 with its Recaro option and the extra CA taxes, plus I would have had to put up with its ugly(er?) rump. What can you do?

    Nah, I would have wanted the 2013 with its extra 100 HP and less black plastic, but it would have been way more spendy. I got a great deal on this 2012 one, it was about $250 under dealer cost. Sorry about the suckage.

    It's ok.

    I really don't like the look of the CTS-V coupe. OK from the front, but the tail is really not so good.

    Not complaining about the Mustang either, it is just that I expected them to spend a little more time differentiating and maybe improving the interior from the other models, rather than just some trim pieces. FWIW, I don't care for the interior of the Camaro at all either. Like I said though, pony cars aren't supposed to be about high end interior

    I concur 100% on all counts.

    ...and thank you for calling them pony cars instead of muscle cars!! Even pony car enthusiasts say it wrong these days.
