Default Mustang Wins (Again)

First, there was the Car and Driver comparo. Then, there was the Cars.com shootout.

Now, Consumer Reports gives the 'stang the nod. Good stuff.

EPIC! lol Consumer Reports looks at it as whats the best buy. Clearly for the money, your getting more all around performance for the dollar then the other 2. Not to say the others are not very nice cars, I love the look of that Challenger. But there all going on about how people look at there cars. If they couldn't sell the Mustangs and were forced to stop making them for 30 years like the challengers, you would have more people drooling over the Stangs as well. Not really the strong point those Challenger guys think it is. Also the low sales that is keeping the car "rare" like they think it is, will sink that car again.

I think the Challenger is the best looking of the 3 "retro" vehicles. The Camaro the least good looking of the 3.

Dodge has overpriced the Challenger. That's the main problem.

Many of the Challenger guys are pretty cool but some of them just reek of arrogance. From how they speak you'd think the only reason they got the car is to get attention from people.
