I guess I'm a 1%er, as I could care less about a slightly better 0 - 60 time if the car will actually be fun to drive on a windy twisty road. Neither the Challenger or the Mustang are really a 'highway warrior', but the Challenger does have a much bigger trunk that Mopar fans are really quick to point out (priorities...)

I'm a big fan of the heads up display, which eliminates the Mustang and Challenger. Ford does offer HUD on the Escape - Mopar has it on a Ram PU.

Styling is subjective - the Challenger looks like a bloated whale to me (and is soooo heavy it won't handle) and the Mustang is just ok.

Funny you say that every brand of GM product is disgusting looking with the exception of GMC. GMC doesn't make a single car and every truck or car they sell is a clone of the comparable Cadillac, Buick or Chevy they sell.

The Cadillac CT4/CT5 is better looking than either the Challenger or the Mustang, IMHO, and are available in 472 HP (CT4) and 668 HP (CT5) versions that can do the 1/4 mile in 11 (CT5) to 12 (CT4) seconds for those so inclined while running circles around a Mustang or Challenger in the windy twisties.

Your results may vary...

Dodge was the first to go, but they went out without having to redesign a chassis for their entire run. Plus numbers dont lie, it kicked the crap out of the Camaro for years and years. I'd say they did damn good.

The "Mustang EV" is in name only. They still have the regular Mustang.

Both the Mustang and Challenger/Charger are definitely highway warriors. Cars that are comfortable, and pull like a freight train. The Camaro was no slouch, but GM put more emphasis in areas where 99% of people either didn't care, or couldn't benefit from.

And me saying GMC was the best looking wasn't by accident. GM has proven to screw up the design of everything they touch. I thought pickup trucks were immune to their incompetence, but the new Silverado looks like ass. Looks like an Autobot. At least the Sierra is sorta acceptable in the looks department.

I'll admit I forgot about Cadillac. The only Caddys I see are Escalades, which look pretty good, but I hate how GM went away from the solid rear axle on their full size suvs. The CT4/5 are decent enough looking, but I dont consider them muscle cars.
