Ford Mustang GT
The world was stunned when Ford introduced the fifth generation of Mustang in late 2004 as a 2005 model. The retro-futuristic design was perfect for the times. It captured the essence of the legendary first generation and presented a sporty, modern shape even 18 years after the unveiling (via KBB).
The new Mustang featured a lot of new technology but a somewhat old platform with a live rear axle. Nonetheless, buyers went crazy for the car. During its 10-year market life, Ford introduced numerous unique versions and compelling Shelby models. But the sweet spot in the range was always the regular GT model. With a 4.6-liter 300 hp V8 engine at first and a 5.0-liter 425hp V8 engine from 2011 to 2014, the GT was a competent car with excellent road manners.
