The Ford is the best bet. Company is not in serious financial straights. The Mustang has been around longer and is more tried and true. Pick up their brochure and see the high performance parts. They're dazzling!!! If you're not too strung out on American nameplate cars, find a good used Audi Allroad and have it tweaked. 4 wheel drive,twin turbos Bose stereo, all aluminum and 2 side galvanized steel, skid control, 2 tone heated leather seating, front and back, and a WHOLE lot more!!!
