In the end, what I don't like about the new Mustang is the glossy black panel in between the tail lights. I guess it's a callback to the '70 Mach 1, but unless it's an all black car it just sticks out.

I'm a total car ignoramus. I'm trading in my Corolla for a new lease on a Camry. $1k down, $255/month. Is this a good deal? Plz help. The guy I normally rely on for car advice is inside for a few months on a battery charge.

Seems like a pretty standard deal.

Moody's Investors Service issued an alert Wednesday that it had downgraded the rating of Ford Motor Co. to just above junk status and said, "The outlook is negative."

The rating, of Baa3, "is the lowest investment grade rating, one rung above speculative grade. It signifies the likelihood of a default," a Moody's spokesman told the Free Press.

I'm looking to buy a new one next year but yesterday the CO2 of the model I'm thinking about went up from 134g/100km to 175 apparently (WLTP) which would also mean a lot more taxes etc. :-/

(um, that's per km not 100)

When CO₂/km emission is measured that way, is it summing up emissions from the total manufacturing process or just what's coming out of the tailpipe? Just curious - haven't really seen those metrics used in the US.
