Reviews SummaryThe Ford Mustang is many things to many owners. Unlike its competitors, the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro, the Mustang never left the market. It has evolved and iterated. It’s been of-the-moment and decidedly retro. The 2021 Ford Mustang calls upon its past but also embraces the present, with modern technology wrapped in a hyper-stylized package. For fans of the Blue Oval, it’s the only sports car they may consider, but the Mustang’s trim lineup and list of features make is welcoming enough for any performance enthusiast looking for (relatively) affordable driving fun. For 2021, Ford has added to this lineup with a new Mach 1 trim. | |
Reviews SummaryChevrolet, Dodge, and Ford wage continuous battles for supremacy in order to win the hearts and minds of American consumers. Mainly, the war’s busiest front lines are in the pickup truck, SUV, and performance car segments. With the new 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, Dearborn finally has a legit combatant to take on the Camaro ZL1 and Challenger Hellcat. But it doesn’t come cheaply. | |
