Not too interested in the M2. Only pushes the yawn button...until I look at pricing which pushes the laugh button.

But it is a big car for having so little interior space. That's why my current object of desire is any 2015+ SRT powered Charger. Interior and build quality aren't as good, but the great sound makes up for it and you can get them with every creature comfort (cooled seats, adaptive cruise, carplay etc). |

I've always been a Mustang guy, and I wanted to like the current Mustang more than I do. It's a lot of fun, but it feels big and ponderous and heavy in a way that's fairly unappealing. There's a lot of hood in front of you, the windows are kind of narrow and claustrophobic, and the suspension tuning (while better than previous Mustangs) is still nowhere near where it should be. Maybe Magneride changes that last piece?
In any event, I can only think the Camaro would be even worse. |

I like the yellow. The yellow and black color scheme is one of my favorites.

I did not know the 2018 Mustang was different, hmm... it seems pretty promising too. They are all just a bit too big for me though.
New Supra? |

I did some dimension comparisons today. The sixth gen mustangs and camaros are both 188.3" long. The Mustang is nearly an inch wider. The comparisons I did were against the FoST, RX-8, C4, C5, 986, 987, 997, NA, ND, and the F10 535i (because of equ's comment earlier today).
He F10 is a little longer than the 6g ponies and then it's a substantial step down to the next tier where most are grouped from about 170-175. And then it's on to the Miatas at 154" and 155" (ND is smaller). The Mustang is the widest (w/o mirrors) at almost 76" and the NA narrowest at 65.9" while most were about 72" The 6th gen pony cars are big for what they are, but they're only a few inches larger than the cars that are holy grails. It's real, no doubt, but the lowish, rearward seati position and the tight interiors are probably making me feel a lot bigger than they are.
