2011 Mustang GT... I think I need to re-think my next car

Price is the great equalizer.

but you sacrifice a lot in the mustang to get a v8 at that price. you get less build quality, crappy interior, a dull exterior look, a heavy body, somewhat unrefined suspension, outdated design. obviously ford had to cut a lot of corners to offer the v8 mustang at that price. basically you get an above average engine and a below average everything else. if someone likes that compromise, good for them. i personally won't be scrambling to a ford dealer anytime soon. perhaps the next gen mustang if it comes with irs, track tuned suspension, smaller body, less weight and preferably an upgraded interior it might be an option. (though in all likelihood i would have enough money by then to get a gt-r)

Have you not read any of the specs of the new Mustang?
~Weights 3600lbs (smaller body could lessen this but Ford is sticking with this style for now)
~It comes standard with the once track package which is the sport suspension setup
~Interior is an upgrade from the previous generation, look at it like the 350 to 370. It was an upgrade but there are still faults in the 370 interior, maybe less than the Mustang but the materials used are almost no different than any 30-40k car now. I think you people are confusing style choices with material choices which are two separate topics.
~They stiffened the frame up, not sure where the picture is but they added what is equal to the Nismo body damper upgrades to the base V8 Mustang to stiffen it all around.

Most of your arguments seem to be style issues which are very valid (I am not 100% on the current Mustang style), but all your arguments of performance, material, body, etc. are all wrong which is because you are blinded by your hate just the Mustang in general. Spend a few minutes and actually read the reviews and specs and you will see the upgrades.
