A coworker just purchased a 2010 Mustang V6. From a distance, the car looks very nice in silver. When I got up close, I noticed all the rusting that was clearly visible around the live axle and suspension components. I thought it looked very unsightly especially when the car is supposed to be brand new. In comparison, my Camaro is relatively free of rust. There's only a little bit of rust where the hangers were welded onto the exhaust system.
The other thing I noticed about the Mustang was the obvious cost cutting. The reason why I could see all the rusting that I mentioned above was due to the lack of a plastic housing around the wheel well. I could see the hose from the gas tank to the upper body and all the black painted sealant covering the metal framework. The sealant had a very sloppy look as someone was in a hurry when it was applied. Seriously Ford, why be so cheap? A plastic housing doesn't cost THAT much to cover things up.
After looking at that Mustang, I appreciate the quality and upscale appearance of my Camaro in comparison. Kudos GM!
