The point of the linked article was saying that the mustang SHOULD sell to people who have any idea about performance and handling and are willing to save themselves $30k for a bit of fit and finish and some nicer materials along with higher operating costs. |

on paper i love the Mustangs. they are so fuking fast. and if i were to get one it would be a top dog GT500. it would sound sweet and smoke anything with a M badge, specially if they can get the thing to handle.
but when i go sit in they feel unbelievably cheap. give the feeling of all motor type of car. plus mustangs overpopulate the road with base models. i feel M cars or 911s hold a level of class, performance, luxury and looks that mustangs can never touch. i just cannot bring my self to buy a mustang. i would buy a vette before stang |

Comparing the M4 to the lonely GT is almost embarrassing for BMW. Half the cost, is that where BMW is now?
Wait until the new Boss comes out. Even more performance and still less expensive. |

But you have to remember the GT will start around $30k. Ford is offering ridiculous performance at that price tag. Only so much they can do with the interior. |

I'm used to the feel of a BMW. I'm not going to lie or belittle a car, that for the money, may be much better. But I spend most of my time in the cockpit. If BMW continues to offer what I'm used to, but better, I'll take it in a heartbeat. Even if other cars can beat it on a drag strip, or around its sacred corners.
I think most posts here are looking for ways to detract from the Mustang, which is flawed thinking IMO. I've driven BMWs for 15 years now, not because they are best in class for track, but because they're best in class for me, a differential that seems to be lost on most. |

Just for giggles, I'm someone looking at a replacement for my 5.0 v8 e39 m5. I like the size of this car, but I'm looking for something I can joyfully track 2-3x a year and drive it from the track on a 500 mile road trip. 15,000 miles a year on total. I have 2 other vehicles, so while 4 doors is nice it's not a necessity.
I am totally willing to cross-shop another RWD, 6-speed manual, 400+ hp ~3600 pound vehicle against the m3. I don't require a german badge on my car to think it's an excellent performer, or that it's interior is nice enough for me. Also, while I won't cross shop a $65k m3 with a $100k 911, I WILL cross-shop a $65k m3 with a similar performing $35k car. |

Ford, and Chevrolet, have engineered brilliant cars, for a lot less money than a BMW. But I will continue to go BMW because I'm a creature of habit. Not because 'American cars are gud in straight, not gud in corner.' Which is absolute bullshit today. |
