While our present government may blow off the standards & principles of the Geneva Convention, I still find them worthy enough to abide. Mustang rear seats are in clear violation. see full Ford Mustang review |

Ford has preserved the roots that kept the Mustangs alive for 45+ years. They knew that Mustang GT enthusiasts preferred the RWD solid axle V8 platform, which was how things were in the 60s. see full Ford Mustang review |
