That's my biggest problem with the v6, is that Ford are being asses and keeping all the good options available only to the Ecoboost so they can do the upsell. It's like they want to keep the V6 only as a rental car.

You could always get a V6 Camaro, I guess. It'd probably end up being a better drive than the Mustang.

Or just drop 60k and get a 350R :>

The new camaro is ugly as sin, though; and the v6 is more expensive than the mustang's; and I fail to see how it would a significantly better driver. I can see by the shape it'd be even less practical, but more fun to drive?

Because the V6 1LT trim has options that put it above fleet car status and with baseline fairly close to the Ecoboost performance package. Also, muh exhaust note.

There are better compacts out there. The Ford Focus is great, if you insist on buying 'American', hell the base price of the Focus ST costs $25,000, or get a fully loaded Fiesta ST for that price or a little less perhaps.

Literally every compact offered by a major automaker in the US is better than a Dart.

After college, if I couldn't get my hands on another Mercedes, I'd so want a Mustang or a Miata, especially if when I'm older than 25.

Yep. Sounds like I'm being glib, but actually handing all the important bits to Mazda to do and all the fun bits to Fiat is like chocolate and peanut butter...


In other news...At 290 you almost feel like they should have kept at it to get those last 10 mph...

But then I guess they couldn't come out with another headline stealing special model for a half mil more a little later.
