Now this thread is going a bit over the top here. The XF is nice looking, but the quality isn't that much better than the Mustang. Yes, we all know by now that there is a Mercedes lurking under the skin, but, it is still a Chrysler. It's pretty hypocritical for someone who owns a Chrysler to snub a Ford owner. The current GTs are very nicely done, with high quality interiors, well done fit and finish, and excellent reliability. Is it a luxury car? No, it never has been. It's a muscle car. That is why Ford decided to keep the solid rear axle. A lot of owners in the demographic who buy mustangs, want to easily customise the car and set it up for high horsepower and drag racing. The solid rear axle is nearly bullet proof and inexpensive to modify. Also, I think with a little TLC and some minor custom touches such as springs, wheels, and exhaust, the current GTs are very bada$$. The sound of a nice V8 will always be better than any 6 or 4 regardless of tuning. I am a car guy. I like all kinds of cars for their differences and uniqueness. I'd gladly park a Mustang next to the XFire.
