    since when did the mustang have 6 cogs?
    A 5 speed seems so un-imaginable that even CR can't fatham it?

    @kona41:
    I'm not sure where that came from, the article in the magazine says: "Options include... a 540-hp, 5.4 liter supercharged V8 that uses a six-speed manual transmission. The five-speed manual shifts accurately and smoothly. A five-speed automatic is optional."

    See, even Consumer Reports appreciates a little something called soul. Sure they put other stuff like reliability and efficiency and quality a little more heavily than Countach-posters-on-walls Jalopnik types like to do, but it's good once in a while to see "sportiness" expressed scientifically and compared metrically.

    And the Mustang is my fav as well, it's the best looking IMHO (most timeless), apparently best driving, and most Steve McQueen.

    But I'm sure you would all look lovely in heels. Though it does help to shave the legs.

    C'mon, what a joke! A 4.0 liter V6 that makes 210 HP?!? The japanese V6's are smaller, more efficient and make 30% more power. The Mustang V6 should make 300HP and the V8 should make close to 400HP for me to start saying "WOW". This is why Detroit auto makers can't sell cars! (I live in Metro-Detroit and my livelyhood depends on these guys, that's why i'm so ticked-off!)
