And while some major automotive awards are only shelled out to vehicles that are all-new or significantly updated for a certain model year, C/D's approach is to look at the full scope of vehicles on sale.

    Umm actually yes. Cadillac. Basically a Holden.
    GMH did the chassis and suspension on them.

    My question is, why the mustang?
    What a POS car compared to others of its type.
    Didn't they test any other car?

    I bet the meeting went more like this....

    "Oh crap Billy Bob, we only have cars made by these funny named places I've not heard of, apparently there are other countries, who knew?
    Anyway, we better put some American cars on the cover or we won't sell any magazines"
    Then they all started chanting USA USA USA F**K YEAH!
