I imagine they will claim 17-20 lol I don't drive enough highway to ever really see above 14-16 but have heard people have gotten up to 23 for the 2011/12's.. Whatever it is they said it won't get the gas guzzler tax.

It is still a pile of crap mustang! Its a outdated body type on a outdated idea. Now if ford would get off their *** and give us the RS series cars, and the turbo hot hatches..THEN we could get excited.

Just read an article the other day that said that Ford slipped from top 5 in quality to 28th due to poor build quality and first year defects on the new Ford Focus. The rest of the lineup seems to be OK, but the large number of sales of the Focus has really seemed to be a hole in their armor because they were doing very well for quite a few years.

Ford Focus as Always been a pile. My friend had a 2002? ZTS and I had a 2005 ZX5. Both had the tranny go out before 60k miles and arm rest in front broke. Broken arm rests happen all the time. Looks like Mustang is finally making a performance car.

My friend created a game to play while driving. You count how many mustangs of any year you see before you see a 14 second car(something that would smoke most years and models of mustangs). Pretty fun game to play in certain areas.
