I never understood the "I like Chevys, but it's blasphemy to ever own one because I'm strictly Ford through and through" stance...and vice versa. I appreciate the OP's respect and love for cars, but I consider myself a car guy, regardless of genre or brand, not particularly partial to much, and like all types/makes/models/etc. of cars. TBH, I think it would get extremely boring owning and driving strictly the same brand for 30 years. If I ever found myself owning another muscle car, it most likely wouldn't be a Camaro for that reason.

I like the route they're going. Nothing wrong with some healthy competition, because in the end, we win. I got to see the GT350R in Detroit this past weekend, and it's a beauty!!

I disagree, that car looks horrible. Front of the car looks like a large mouth bass. The overall shape and flow of the car is bulky and funky.

So if you owned an 85 Camaro for 30 years you wouldn't buy a 2015 Camaro because you think its boring to keep buying the same brand?
I totally disagree with driving the same brand is boring. I've been driving mostly Chevys for the last 46 years and never been bored with the brand. I have had one Ford and only kept it two weeks.....

You probably drove a dog Ford perhaps. There are plenty of badass cars out there wearing different badges and I agree driving the same brand forever would be boring (unless the competition is crap). To each thier own but for me I like to switch up and never stick to one brand in particular. I will own a gtr, C7 Z06, and im sure the new Gt 350R. No tunnel vision here I'm going to enjoy them all.

Im not a big fan of the new Mustang but I defintely do like the GT350R, I dont know who wouldnt if they are a "car guy or girl", what I dont like about it is that big funky rear wing but other than that the Mustang looks cool.

My dad who is 80 hasnt driven a Chevy since his teenage days, he drives strictly Ford. He wont even go look at a GM and calls me a traitor but he says it in a good way in fun. He never says nothing bad about GM or Dodge he just says he drives Ford and thats that.

My girlfriend has a 2013 Focus Titanium, has every option you can get, has been a good car and I got her away from Honda and she bought the Focus, only issue has been the transmission jerks really bad and there have been recalls on it but Ford has never properly fixed it and the only other issue is I cannot fit in it, I am 6'3 and I feel all waded up sitting in the passenger seat.
