Ford Mustang Outpoints Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger in Consumer
Reports Tests of Sports Cars and Coupes

Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Nissan 370Z, and redesigned Subaru Impreza WRZ get Very
Good road test scores

YONKERS, N.Y., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The freshened Ford Mustang
outpointed two other reincarnated muscle cars -- the Chevrolet Camaro and the
Dodge Challenger -- as well as the new Hyundai Genesis Coupe in
ConsumerReports' tests of six sporty cars and coupes in the October issue.

The Mustang received a Very Good overall road test score of 78, outpointing
the Camaro which received a Very Good 71, and the Challenger, which received a
Good 53 points. CR's engineers found the Mustang's 2010 freshening makes it
an even more balanced and satisfying driver's car than ever before.

"The Mustang topped this group by delivering strong acceleration,
communicative steering, and the most agile handling," said David Champion,
senior director of CR's Auto Test Center in East Haddam, Connecticut.

The new Camaro shares basic underpinnings with the Pontiac G8 sedan. The
Challenger is based on the large Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger
rear-wheel-drive sedans. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe received a Very Good test
score and is distinct from the rest of the group. It is loosely based on the
Genesis luxury sedan and is powered by either a turbocharged four-cylinder or
V6 engine, in contrast to the muscle cars' V8s.

CR also tested the redesigned Nissan 370Z two-seat coupe, an agile sports car
which received a Very Good test score, and the updated and improved 2009
Subaru Impreza WRX, which also received a Very Good test score.

Prices ranged from $38,565 for the 370Z to $26,088 for the WRX. The Mustang
has average reliability and is Recommended, as is the WRX. The other models
are too new to have reliability data for CR to Recommend them. CR only
Recommends vehicles that have performed well in its tests, have at least
average predicted reliability based on CR's Annual Car Reliability Survey of
its more than seven million print and web subscribers, and performed at least
adequately if crash-tested or included in a government rollover test.
