The new Car and Driver (october issue) has reviews for the Ford 500 and Freestyle already. I think that most magazines will have reviews of the 05 stang on their november issues which comes out the last week of september/first week of october. so about one more month till we can read any official reviews.

 

Cool, I get the GOOD cover


Store Cover:


Subscriber Cover:

 

that's what my driveway would look like if I won the lotto

with some 'stangs to boot.

 

That subscriber cover would make a heck of poster.

 

is that the october issue or just the buyers guide they do every year.

 

The Ford GT definitely looks the best of those three.

Great how they show it in the front of the pack, as well.

 

What I love is the fact that the Ford GT ISSSS the underdog...and to do how well it does against those 2 MONSTERS...is amazing.

Its not the price guide...its got 126 little short blurbs about future cars 05/05.
The mustang has nothing new.
Still has the old 202 V6 rating ..etc.
Not even worth posting.

So 1 month from now (possibly a week sooner) the MT with Stang stuff will be out

 

MT does have a great article on british evos and Stis in that issue

 

and don't forget Mini vs Hummer!
For anyone looking for a few more numbers on the 200mph article, i posted something on the ford exotics board:

Does anyone remember/know in which months does MT do their "Car" "Truck" of year issues??? What month did the F-150 get it?

I used to be a subscriber back in the 80' when MT ran them in the Jan issue, then C&R bumped up their 10 Best issue to Nov back then so the MT issues started coming earlier, man I remember I used to get like 3 C&R issues every late June/early July (July,Aug,Sept)

 

When you guys who order motortrend or car and driver receive the issue with the 05 stang reviews in it please make sure to scan and post it for all the people who don't get it in the mail . Thanks!

 

Yes, please... Can't wait for the real reviews to come out.

 

Probably go something like this...

1st review: Utterly amazing, the old war horse has still got it, can't believe the power and handling they got out of the 3v V8 and live axle, soundly trumps the sorely missed camaro

2nd review: needs more power, plasticky interior, ergonomics not fit for a video game car, live axle is antiquated and needs to be put to rest. Could this be the end of the pony car!

3rd review: Utterly amazing, the old war horse has still got it, can't believe the power and handling they got out of the 3v V8 and live axle, soundly trumps the sorely missed camaro, needs more power, plasticky interior, ergonomics not fit for a video game car, live axle is antiquated and needs to be put to rest. Could this be the end of the pony car! We are hard pressed to pick between the lada and the mustang.
