Not a bad article, but it would be useful to know what suspension the JCW they are comparing to had. (hint: JCW's don't come with a different suspension)

The best part though are some of the hilariously uninformed comments on the article.

James pointed this out to me yesterday, I believe. Good article, and I'm looking forward to seeing how their impressions of the MCS Coupé evolve over time.

And Don, the comments were definitely entertaining. Trolls and haters rule everywhere on the net.

Autoweek just posted a similar (but not as positive) review of the MCS Coupe.

On the other hand, if you don't read the comments, how else will you find out that you should get a Mustang because it's safer.
