The fit and finish of the car is great, and the interior is roomy. But the base engine is nutless and the suspension wallows.

A V-8 version with AWD and stiffer springs might be a real pleasure, though.
That was my first question at the carshow that, I asked the ford rep. Why the small ponies ? his reply wait it will be a Mustang !

the plan is to put the new 3.5 into this model.

Launch the new model with fanfare, then introduce the upgraded powerplant in year 2 to maintain the momentum.
