More than a half-century has passed since the Ford Mustang essentially launched the “pony car” class, representing a new breed of sporty coupes and muscle cars. Since then, numerous challengers have arisen, but none can claim the staying power of the Mustang. Just the same, there are Ford Mustang alternatives worth exploring, including two direct competitors and a host of other models that may merit your consideration.

There are several models that are worthwhile alternatives, ranging from luxury coupes to more mainstream models.

Among the luxury brands, the Lexus RC F, BMW 4 Series, the Cadillac ATS Coupe, Infiniti’s Q60 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe merit consideration. Each model offers standard rear-wheel drive and with the exception of the RC F you can choose all-wheel drive or a manual transmission.

Furthermore, the base price for each model starts near what Ford charges for the Mustang GT Premium edition. Moreover, when you place a model such as the Lexus RC F next to the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R, both offer high performance for a similar price.

Among mainstream models there are a few rear-wheel drive sport coupes that shouldn’t be overlooked.

One such model is the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, a handsome sport coupe powered by a responsive V-6 engine. Proportionately smaller than the traditional pony car coupes, the Genesis Coupe makes 306 horsepower and comes paired with a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic transmission. Older models —from 2009 to 2012 — also offered a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder

Challenges Automobile Industry 1 Essay

automotive industry today is in the middle of a dramatic and largely unprecedented transformation. The heart of this transformation is not about how the auto company does its work but rather how it defines itself. The model of the car company that Henry Ford created and Alfred Sloan perfected—integrated, scale-driven, “product-push”oriented—prevailed for decades. It drove the consolidation of the U.S. industry from dozens of manufacturers to four to three to two-and-ahalf (which then, with a little push…

admitted, the coffee would burn anyone it was spilled on. These are just a few of the items Liebeck’s attorneys presented. (Source: http://www.centerjd.org/free/mythbusters-free/MB_mcdonalds.htm.)
