One word...Depreciation
If you buy the Hyundai plan on keeping it a long time otherwise you are gonna take it in the shorts much worse than many other cars when selling.
True, they may not hold their value as well as a Honda or Toyota, but they're pretty good on resale these days.
Apparently they forgot about the 2010 Mustang GT (Premium). Bigger, faster, stronger. MSRP of under 31k.
Obviously bigger. 315hp > 306hp. Faster in a straight line is all that matters to most, well at least me.. 5.2/13.7 (motortrend-stang) vs. 6.4/14.5 (edmunds-gcoupe).
Straight line racing is pretty useless to judge a car by.
Better tell that to the Mustang guys.

some mustangs actually are badass around corners its just how you build them.
Compared to other live rear axle cars sure. I've seen spec Firebirds fly around the local road course faster than I would have thought possible but they're working pretty hard at it while a Corvette just glides around and can do the same time.

I think Hyundai has been making quality cars for the last decade and factory warranty is a big plus also. But man keep a car 2 years and lose 50% value, ouch! and then often you cannot even sell because upside down on loan amount vs current value.
I used to laugh at those figures for 5 year cost of ownership but not anymore. Too big of variance in resale value between Mfgs.
i liked it until i seen the 14.5 i think it should be a little faster considering it has 306 HP
Whats wrong with Shelby?
funny I thought all cars depreciated. If you want a car that doesnt depreciate quickly buy a honda or a mitsubishi.
problem with these motors, much like the contour is they don't enjoy gobs and gobs of torque off the line...so yeah it boogies once it gets going but the mustang will pwn it from a dig.
He's a borderline crook who will put his name on anything to make a buck even if he had nothing to do with the development or even knew what was going on. He is one step above Lingenfelter only because Lingenfelter has been caught red handed in regards to fraud while Shelby was able to blame enough people that he was mostly forgotten about.
The sad thing about Mitsubishi is their parent company may be close to pulling the plug on the auto division simply because its not the good tax write off that it used to be.
Who doesnt do that? I mean IDK if you are sore at him for the Unique Performance deal, but honestly I dont think the guy should be personally responsible for the bad business practices of a company he had a licensing agreement with. The people were at first conducting themselves as any reputable business would. Lot of bad circumstances led up to that, I dont think that you should hold Carroll Shelby responsible for the fact that he allowed them to use his name for the restoration/modification of cars his company originally produced. Thats normal a perfectly normal business practice. Allowing someone to use your name does not give you control over their company. There is only so much he could know ahead of time. Although I guess I understand if you are pissed about the lawsuits against Factory Five racing and the other groups.
I dont think Mitsubishi Motors was EVER a tax write off for the Mitsubishi Group or Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. I know they have been considering pulling out of the north american market off and on for the past few years because of sluggish sales, but sluggish sales would be what would make it a "tax write off"
