Luxury > Speed
So after driving around a g for 3 weeks, i felt like the car felt a bit sluggish till you hit your higher rpm. Then I saw my friend's sti and mustang gt so much quicker than my G and i started to crave more speed. I was honestly doubting if i purchased the wrong car and thought about selling my g to get a mustang gt TILL i actually test drove my friends GT and even the STI; and let me tell you.... i will take luxury over speed ANYDAY of the week. Yes it was fast as hell, but the interior was not as nice, the steering wheel felt light and I FELT EVERY SINGLE BUMP ON THE ROAD. Even the ac/heater was not as nice and the minor finishing detail and thats when i realized why a g has such great reviews. Im sorry for doubt you g... Unless you can afford a car who gives you both

I love the acceleration in the G (although quicker wouldn't hurt, but for what this car is worth it puts up a very nice amount), but I wouldn't want to sacrifice the luxury aspect of it.

Yea i did hear the interior did get a huge upgrade but no i have not drove the newest one. It was a 2011 but not sure how much of the bumpy feeling would have changed but then again... i would need to drive one to know

I think compare to alot of cars in the same class, its defiantly nicer than alot of others. But more than the interior, the g felt way more smoother of a drive and its heavy, but makes it feel like your more in control

i would say our car is the best of both worlds.... good amount of lux and a good amount of speed......considering its price. its def no rocket, but its no slouch either.

Well I tend to agree on you on this but different people have different means. Now if I wanted a weekend car I would differently not buy the G. It would be more in the lines of an STI, EVO, GT cause on the weekend car I want to enjoy a car that went fast.
P.S if I get situated by this November everyone will get to see a big surprise .

It's still a Mustang and they are everwhere ... looks are nothing special IMHO. I'll still take my G even if the Mustang is faster. I think some people are afraid to criticize the Mustang (or other American muscle cars) because it's deemed sacrilege. Those cars are just not for me ... didn't like them as a kid, don't like them now.

I'm missing something here, isn't our G faster than the V6 Stang of that era? I'm pretty sure it is, because I smoked a Camaro and even a GT... We can't start comparing the new Camaros or Mustangs to our G, which has been the same car since 07... Even worse comparing it against a V8...
American car designers have made huge improvements, but I still don't understand how an American car costs the same or more than one that had to come from across the pond.
