    Time for the annual "Bro Float" !

    But why do they have to give them a car at all? That's my only issue with the whole thing.

    Seems kind of silly to blame MT for the fact that Ford won't give them a real test car. Seems kind of silly to try to belittle and to threaten a car company to comply... Like I said...journalism is there ONLY to state the facts....EQUAL and FAIR DEVOID of ANY BIAS.... I repeat....the Hertz comment is akin to the National Enquirer and TMZ... Tabloid bullshyte..nullifying, in my eyes, their coveted COTY awards for the modern times.... I guess credibility means nothing anymore... Yeah, there's no reason Ford NEEDS Motor Trend to review their stuff. Maybe in the Past MT has been assholes to them or they feel they've been treated unfairly. Just because Ford doesn't give them the exact car they want doesn't mean Ford is scared. There are hundred of variables that could be in place because the two companies have been around for so long.

    I don't know if it was "eliminated" but it hasn't been there. 2017 is what I was thinking. Which is only 11 days away from being "now".

    The 1LE and GT350R are in MT's Best Driver's car comparo RIGHT NOW. And you're talking to two people that are very open minded about cars, unlike yourself. Maybe YOU should, "look past the brand bias." Per the BDC... Though M/T had nothing but praise for the Focus RS, its been omitted ( eliminated? ) from the the BDC Competition before it even began. Oh yeah, I have MT on SnapChat and I completely forgot about the RS. It was never there.

    Ohhhhhh yeah I remember that thing. They used to advertise that pretty well also. Seemed like a great idea. I would agree that I bet it had to go because of the reduced structural rigidity for a rollover.

    What do you mean by "mid gate"? What is that?

    Very good review comparison! I enjoyed it. Just a heads-up I assume this is supposed to mean 73%. I only say this because I think last time I found something you said things get posted other places as well.. I'm not trying to be a grammar police as mine is probably jack $h! lol. "The Toyota Tacoma is one of the best vehicles to retain its resale value. Kelly Blue Book says the Tacoma will retain 73 of its value after three years."

    Ahhhhh I forgot about the SHO.. probably because I'm not a fan of it but it does exist. It's cool "for what it is". I guess that would kind of me like an SS competitor(even though the SS would wipe the floor with it). But they are about the same size, right?

    Olds, You literally read my mind with that post ^. No need to state anything you've already said. The only thing I'd say is that ATS-V is a Camaro with a fancy interior. While I love it, it isn't a secret to us what it really is. Also, GM has the SS even though this is the last model year for it.

    I would LOVE to drive a 7 Series and and M5. Even if I didn't like the brand I still just love driving different $h! and those cars are different, expensive, and fast(M5).
  13. ccap41
    I'll believe GM finally made a truck that's more than a sticker-job when it's finally released.. They've been too good at sticker-jobs for quite awhile now for me to think anything different until it's out. But if it does come out as a gnarly off-road truck.. AWESOME!
  14. ccap41
    The 2 Series is bigger and RWD so it really doesn't have much in common with the 1 other than "replacing" it.The 135i was RWD as wellMy bad. Just saw that. Why in the hell would they go the Mercedes route and dumb it down to FWD?On a side note, Make one little error and three people are there to pounce right on it. RWD. Got it. lol sorry... but in all fairness..i was the first.. ..CAFE.. but then again it is only for the Chinese market so who really gives a $h! here? I don't.. It's a business after all and they have to support the sporty stuff we like somehow. Sell the junk to the country that makes our junk and junk cars.. haha

    Says the Ford fan. I rest my case. How exactly is he a Ford fan? Good grief man. Why be an ass about everything? I thought the same thing.. OLDs of all people is quite open minded about vehicles he likes and why he likes them/they suit his needs. He's been pretty open about liking a lot more older Camaros and Pontiacs than Mustangs. I mean his freakin' name and pic are of GM products! This is the biggest reason I cannot stand Mr. Bong. Complete ignorance but he saw a brand/person-humping-said-brand get slightly insulted and takes literal offense to it.. And he has class to refer to other people as "children".

    I think what he was insinuating was that the Mustang was not in the competition for Car of the Year. Therefore it did not directly beat it. The Mustang was not there because it was not new for 2016 model year therefore it was not even in the running for COTY, if I remember correctly.

Give it another year or two and I'll hopefully be buying one of these used.

    welllllll they also changed the naming scheme in doing that where all even numbers were coupes, right? So it opened up a slot for a 1 series

Looks fun as hell. Pretty dang quick as well 13.3 through the 1/4.. It would just be hard to justify buying that for 25k when I could probably find an S550 Mustang GT for close to that at this point.

    Nothing's perfect, and I certainly don't believe that means there's no merit in these comparos. I don't put too much stock in finishing orders- especially if they're close- or in some of the super subjective thoughts, but at the same time, if every outlet out there is proclaiming a car to be the best or worst in it's segment, there's prolly something to that. I agree with both of you. Magazines are about selling..magazines and getting people to click on their links. It is still a business after all that has to be funded to do their job. Consistently finishing towards the bottom or top is more respectable as it seems harder for everybody to be on the same page so if the all are they it seems like a winner. Buuuuuuut theres a huge "but"... everybody has different needs out of their vehicle. 99% of people never take their cars to a track..ever.. Which is where all of the arm chair racing from the fanboys comes from. And most consumers don't really care about how sporty of a chassis is under a car which is why the Mazdas still just don't sell that well. Very good cars and they seem to win a lot of magazine praise but they still aren't for everybody. People forget through magazine test numbers that numbers don't make a car magically suit every body's needs.

    Stupid idiots. How do you do something like this and not expect it to make it through SEC? How many accountants allowed this to knowingly happen? f@#ks should be fired. I hate it because of how many ppl had to have known something and turned the other cheek all while penalizing EVERY shareholder who's trying to help your corporation and themselves. Basically. Thieves.

    You have literally had a song, picture, or meme for everything ppl have randomly thought about...and I love it! Hahaha

    3.8 Liters per Flush.. or one Grand Prix per flush.. bad joke..

    Agreed, they do make a good product. The difference in brand quality these days is so miniscule as to be nearly irrelevant. It primarily comes down to personal taste and comfort level. Thank you! Some just see one tenth here or there and call it an ass whoopin.. Minute differences means it's a driver skill battle. Also, in my opinion, I think they should be more alone the lines of the softer slightly more "daily-able" Mustang in their SS and GT trims because they have the 1LE/ZL1/GT350®/GT500 for the hardcore crowd. Make the lesser, sub ~40k trims a little more docile and livable and turn the wick up on the track variances. These all just need to sell if we want them to stick around. It's all good and dandy to have the quickest car but that costs the company more to engineer and produce and to keep these cars around...they have to make money off of them.
