Re: Mazda3 Replacement

I am not going to lie... I don't think I could buy the V6 Mustang. I was doing the numbers comparisons, but, at the end of the day, I really don't want that. There is no question in my mind that I would like the V6 gen6 Camaro the best out of all of these V6 options (Even if the V6 is lame, period, ...

Re: Mazda3 Replacement

So here is a comparo between the V6 Camaro (2010) and Mustang (2011): https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a15130421/2011-ford-mustang-v6-vs-2010-chevrolet-camaro-rs-comparison-tests/ Oddly with almost no stats. The Mustang is half a second quicker to 60 though: 0-to-60 in 5.4 second...

Mazda just made what would definitely be in the discussion. Now if the 3 lasts another 5-8 years this should be in my price range...
