This is something I thought of a long time ago when I first heard of regenerative braking, so I did some research and found out some kids at MIT had already done it. Great idea and I hope it ends up getting implemented on production vehicles somewhere.

So if you go mainstream, as a luxury brand, you have to do it right. Here I'm thinking of the Range Rover Evoque, which features unusual styling, and a Ford engine, and a Ford platform, and yet still manages to be cool, probably because it hasn't been out long enough to have any major electrical issues.

I am shocked and disgusted that nobody has noticed or pointed out that all the shots of this thing driving are CGI... And fairly bad CGI at that.

I wasn't aware the Mustang required synthetic. Even still, oil changes are the only thing you will be paying for on the Mustang.

No doubt about it, in bone stock form the Porsche is a few tics quicker, and handles ever so slightly better (if you don't count the "OMG it's trying to kill me!" lift off oversteer). However at only 2K cheaper with relatively high miles for the type of vehicle it is you will quickly be looking at some very expensive

Make that 4.

I assume you count this as your biggest accomplishment to date. I sure would.

No the 4020 does not sound like it has a turbo, however the engine cadence is eerily similar to the standard fiat 500 Abarth.

All I hear is a loud and raspy tractor motor. Nothing wrong with that, it just doesn't come across as sports car to me.

I agree, I don't think it sounds terrible, it just sounds like a tractor. listen to the video of it above, then watch this...

Something smells fishy, and not just because the fish in this pond are dying from Al Gore warming the earth. I just can't see how the dog could depress the brake and activate the gearshift simultaneously, then miraculously fall on the accelerator. Elaborate insurance fraud maybe?

It may be more nimble and better suited for something like autocross as it weighs less and is more tossable. However on most tracks in which you can make use of the amount of horsepower the GT has road holding becomes more important than tossability, in stock form the Mustang has the Toyobaru twins beat.

Exactly, the V6 will live on at a rental car location near you.

And it still only looks mediocre. Lots of fringing, blown highlights, etc. Come on Bently, I know you can afford at the minimum a marginally more expensive DSLR.

So they improved dynamics, great, when will they ground it to the ground?

Hopefully that means they've fixed it. It bugs the crap out of me on my GMT900.

Does the door side driver armrest still abruptly go from nice and cushy near the back to hard as a slab of marble toward the middle? Is it at the exact point that the meaty point in front of your elbow sits causing discomfort and anger at GM for being so damn cheap on a stupidly expensive vehicle?
