The average buyer is not on forums researching mods and reviews, they're picking cars based upon how cool it looks and how it rides. Simple as that. Hence the majority of these cars being sold are the V6 models. Ford knows that and thats what they aimed for. The performance will come in due time when its needed. Right now its all about the look and tech. Why the 5th gen camaro was such a huge hit and dont worry, if the 6th gen tries to catch the mustang in tech, its weight is going to balloon as well. The tech on the new mustang rivals that of Audi's and BMW's.

You're kidding right? The mustang gained weight because it had to catch up to the Camaro in the ride and handling department which it may or may not have. It definitely did not catch up in the visual appeal arena with this new car thats for sure but I may be a little biased in that department.
