So it's a 10 yr old platform. Who cares? It's solid, quiet, rigid, inexpensive, and goes like a raped ape.
Would any of you rather have a brand new Mustang chassis?
Yup. Another strike against the Mulletude.

This car is an Australian design based on a European platform.

Thank God GMNA was kept at bay, busily slapping plastic on the sides of FWD pigs like the Bonneville.
