Good post there Mark. 
Its amazing how people are bashing Ford for how much the car weighs, but for how little it costs (MSRP). Lets all be real here people. When the Nissan GT-R comes to market, the price is rumored to be in the mid $70,000 range. This goes to show you, that technology costs $$$$. And plus, you WILL have every Nissan dealer marking the heck out of the MSRP. If anyone really thinks you'll be able to find one of these for list, (unless you have a Nissan dealer in your back pocket), these cars could reach north of $100,000, and that wouldn't suprise me in the least.

ON a SCALE that is way larger than joes engines.

Sorry if I offended anyone with my comment, I did not mean to degrade the Mustang, or Ford as a whole. We all know that Ford is going to need something new, better than the competition. Now we have the luxury, high speed in style. Let's go for the gold, take the lead.
GT 350, come fast, we have a Nissan to kill.

I'm sorry I'm just a die-hard American car lover. I have respect for anyone who would/could like that car, but to me it's just ugly and not worth my attention.
