C/R picks the Mustang!

Consumer Reports has never been my first choice for automotive reviews. It's kinda like going to the proctologist for a teeth cleaning... It always left a bad taste in my mouth.

That being said, C/R just evaluated a slew of sports cars, including the Mustang, and we came out very favorably. They picked the mustang over not only the shotty Genesis Coupe (no surprise there), but also the Camaro SS, and Challenger R/T.

In typical C/R style, they heavily factored in reliability, fit and finish, gas mileage, and material quality, but also rated the performance end of the cars.

The cited the Mustang's exceptional materials, crisp handling, and the 4.6 liter drivetrain not only moving the car quickly, but sounding the best of the bunch.

I don't want to breach the TOS, so maybe Sam can post a link for us...
