New Fuel Consumption Standards In United States
#8
^^ See? This divisive thinking gets us nowhere fast.

So, either kill the V8 Mustang as a guzzler or kill the chick-model V6 Mustang, especially since it's using a truck motor that's hardly making 50 BHP/L?

What does that kind of thinking solve? Nothing.

Small SUVs are a wicked "compromise" - decent performance, off-road and soft-road capabilities, hauls 5 adults and dog/gear/stuff nicely.

Base-model Mustang - great for your "chances" with the ladies till a guy in a real "performance vehicle" blows the doors off yours and takes the girl at the same time?

Not so appealing now, are they?

Also, what's the deal with the Cherokee SRT8? Faster than a Mustang of either variety, that's what.

Also, the Hybrid Escape is a great alternative for someone who wants to... gasp... save gas while maintaining winter mobility and carrying a bit of gear at the same time. I'd take my chances on a snowy, twisty road in an Escape over a Mustang any day of the week.

Is that enough, Steveo?
