"Ford Mustang" is a chick car?

The V6 automatics have historically been referred to as "secretary cars." Of course, the post didn't differentiate, but I'm guessing that was done specifically to get a rise out of people.

I think both 6cyl Camaros and Mustangs were/are 'chick cars'. I think the new Mustang is a little more masculine though.

To me, with a V6 version, it often hinges on the transmission...if it has a manual, I think "enthusiast on a budget".

I could see that, yeah.
 
I knew a guy who has the previous Mustang in a 6cyl auto - gutless wonder. It was like a 2 door Taurus (yet louder and cruder), and the shifting points were optimized for a 20 second 0-60 run I am sure.
 
Modern ones with a manual and a 6 are rare, aren't they?

The first new car I ever had was a mustang with an I6 and an auto in it back in the early 80's. It held its own pretty good. While it would surely lose to a V8 of the time it was mighty good for a 6 cylinder.

I am sure they are but I am pretty sure I was behind one today, had one tail pipe and the brake lights were out sitting at a stoplight.

In the early days of this thread I bashed on Hyundai a bit.
 
After visiting a Hyundai dealership last week, I wish to withdraw my posts. The new Sonata is a really, really nice car for the money. I was beyond impressed; while I don't trust them enough to actually buy one yet (and the resale is still in the toilet), they're much closer than I had thought. Zoom-zoom V6, heated leather seats, 6 disc MP3 changer, moonroof, climate control, power everything & then some for $20k? Incredible!

In recent times from 1995-1998, the V6 Mustang was a little underpowered compared to where everything else was at the time. It had 145 HP I think. But in 1999, Ford upped it to 190, and it could hold its own pretty well.
 
I think the current version has like 210...closing in on the power offered the previous-gen GTs.
