If a Mustang is more of a Cruiser what the hell is a Focus RS? It is far from a nimble hatchback when it weighs the same as a mid size estate!
Have you driven one?

A car can weigh 1,000,000 kg and still not be a cruiser so I am not sure how weight is the only criteria.
Gear ratios, suspension setup, induction/exhaust noise, seats etc would determine that more than weight.
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I once read someplace that the Nissan GTR was increased in weight on purpose to make it handle better and be more stable at high speeds.

Weight and distribution of it can significantly improve a car like the GT-R with its all wheel drive type systems - certainly indiscriminately removing weight won't necessarily improve its performance.
ETA for the Mustang is mid-Feb, but I've asked them to hold it until 1st March for the new plates. Also made sure they won't put those big ugly plate mounts on.
Mustang, if anything, you can tell people you drive a Mustang.
Or you can tell people you drive a Focus, no matter how supped up it is, it is still a Focus.

I never said it was the sole reason, i said if anything.
But thanks for quoting me, yet again.
Don't think people really compare there cars like that..Mustang, if anything, you can tell people you drive a Mustang.

To be fair your post implies is it the main reason.
If that was the case, I would have said "you can tell people you can drive a Mustang" and not added the "if anything"
I would have thought that implies there are other reasons. I didn't think i need to explain it, never mind over 3 posts.
(we can keep going down this rabbit hole btw, I know Fox would love to, or we can take my clarification on the matter and move on)
