Ford is impressing me more and more every day. While my next vehicle will need to seat three kids in car seats (I have two, will probably have another), if I had a guarantee of no more children being born, a Ford Fusion Hybrid would 100% be my next car. The latest exterior updates combined with the hybrid features makes it a home run.

I can't ever see myself buying a Mustang but you have to admire what this car offers for a relatively low price. It will be a genuine 370Z competitor in most areas, I think. Sure, it's heavier and "lower tech" but with the monster motor, Track Pack, and a strong design, it'll be very tempting to guys that drive on the street most of the time.

And the torque?

While the Mustang won't be a complete embarrassment in the engine department it'll still be handily out-classed.
