I have had an 88 GT in white, 93 LX Limited edition in performance red, 95 GT convertible in burgundy, 2017 GT Performance package in white and just recently purchased a 2021 Mach 1 in Grey. All great cars that are super fun to drive, loud and proud and never left me stranded on any road. Easy to maintain and to add on performance parts. Bullet proof and so reliable. Long live the mustang. It's America in a nutshell!

I love my 2011 Mustang! It's the best car I have ever owned and plan to keep it until I can't drive anymore!

Thank you Ford for keeping it V8 and gas powered!!! I love that rumble, can't get enough of it 😁

I'm on my 4th (different generation each) mustang. I wouldn't pick any other American muscle car.

Mustang is a sporty car, not a sports car. Ford practically invented a segment in the market, and it is one in which no other manufacturer has seem to be able to stand a comparable and competitive equivalent. Historically speaking, it is not an outright high-performance vehicle; however, the more recent GT‘s are legitimate track cars. I have a 2007 GT, and it’s sedan underpinnings are unmistakable, however it maintains comfort and appealing simplicity, and I am keeping it as long as it is possible to repair and maintain.

always been an import guy, starting to like the gt350r. now i must get one!

[domingosoto]

Please keep that beautiful pony V8 and not electric. 🐎

[charlierec]

Nothing against successful women but now I know why Ford would name the Mach E a Mustang. That is no more a Mustang than I am a vehicle designer!

I hope it doesn't look like the electric one that everyone hates and in no absolute way even comes close to looking like a Mustang.

1:20 -- That's a fact. There's nothing else that sounds like a 5.0 Coyte V8 -- NOTHING!

Went from celebrating the mustang to women pretty quick.good grief

[pointLSX]

Why does it matter when talking about "the women of mustang"? Stop tying political talking points to inanimate objects. Deliver the story on the mustang, and not who designs it or builds it.

It downloads your private information from your phone and collects telemetry data for big brother. No thanks…

[billybob]

Offhand it doesn't look any different than last years model

[toddmays]

The machines basically do all the work. That job used to be heavy and tense label work once upon a the

If you like driving boats that are fast in a straight line.

I’n the 90’s I used have a Toyota Supra I used to race and beat Mustangs easy to beat because they do bloated under powered and over weight
