A lot has been said about the Ford Mustang for 2007. As Ford's entry in the coupe market the Mustang (and in this case specically the Shelby GT version) has maintained a solid reputation. The 2-door Mustang is especially appealing to wide market segment, making it a perfect car to help Ford as a brand in general.
