TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Ford Mustang finally makes the rear-end switch—and the SVO's back, at least in spirit.

Everyday comfortable, yet track-ready, the 2014 Hyundai Genesis is one of the better performance-car picks if your budget is tight.

TCC Likes

Pretty new roofline
Turbo four's fuel economy ratings
V-8 is muscular as ever

Responsive, rorty powertrains
Cohesive look, inside and out
Dynamically sharp, yet refined

TCC Dislikes

Not a striking exterior change
Turbo four sounds artificial and buzzy
V-8 doesn't snarl enough for our taste

Cramped back seat
Prices edging upward
Slow automatic transmission
