2019 Ford Mustang Reviews Summary

Every once in a while, an automotive icon comes along that changes not just the car industry, but multiple industries. I’m talking about examples that go beyond car models. Not just the Beetle, but Herbie the Love Bug. Not just the Charger, but the General Lee. Inarguably, the greatest of these is the Ford Mustang Bullitt. Fifty years ago, it was driven through the streets of San Francisco by the coolest actor the world has ever known—Steve McQueen—in the greatest car chase ever captured on celluloid. For the 50th anniversary of the movie, the Bullitt takes a Ford Mustang GT Premium in the coupe body style, fits it with the Performance Pack, and adds mostly cosmetic changes: logo and spoiler deletes, a blacked-out grille, unique Bullitt badging, chrome trim, a cue-ball shifter, digital gauges, and these gorgeous, Bullitt-specific 19-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires. There’s also the usual Highland Green paint job that mimics McQueen’s example, but it’s not just aesthetic changes here. The Bullitt also gets a special exhaust and the intake from the Mustang Shelby GT350 that results in a 20-horsepower boost to its power specs, an extra 12 kilometres per hour on the top end, and the second-best sound you’ll ever hear a Mustang make. Sorry, Bullitt, but the GT350 still takes the top spot there. As iconic representations go, neither the Chevrolet Camaro nor the Dodge Challenger muscle cars have an equivalent.

2020 Dodge Challenger Reviews Summary

With its stablemate, the Dodge Charger, the Dodge Challenger is one of the last remaining modern muscle cars. The Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have both eschewed their “retro” phases to become more forward-looking sporty coupes. But the Challenger holds fast, trading on the past while using current automotive technology to create one of the most fun-loving coupes on the market. This puts the Challenger in a field of one, but for those seeking what the Challenger has to offer, nothing else is needed.

The built-in-Canada Challenger, produced at the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Canada facility in Brampton, Ont., is largely unchanged for the 2020 model year. It provides several new colors, some additional interior design choices, and adds a 50th Anniversary package for some trims.
