Um.... show me where it said that it had to be a "Performance Car". It just said "In the Industry".

In their 5.0 Press Release they also say "Unsurpassed Fuel Economy" which they love to do with their other cars. I guess "Unsurpassed" is a cooler way of saying "Identical to what others have already".

The same press release makes the bold (and fictitious) claim:

"THE 5.0-LITER IS BACK: 2011 FORD MUSTANG GT LEADS CLASS WITH 412 HP, FUEL EFFICIENCY, CHASSIS DYNAMICS"

We know 412 is still bringing up the rear.


I guess one could argue (in the same way Trekkies rationalize how Kirk's homemade cannon could kill a Gorn and not blow his hands off) that the "Leads Class" comment applies to the combination of all the items in the sentence which follow. This is poor sentence structure but even if it was what they meant we can see that it is also a lie:

We know that 25MPG is NOT more than 25MPG.
We know that "Chassis Dynamics" has no standards for comparison.

So, the whole press release is headed by a complete falsehood.

I wonder what else in there is exaggerated?
