Which US built car would you reccomend?

Ok so the company that I work for is eligable to receive a special discount for new Chrysler, GM, and Ford vehicles. I have been doing some research and just kind of looked into the Charger, Camaro, Corvette, and Mustang. What would you recommend and why. I don't think I would be getting a Corvette because I think they're ridiculously over priced but would just like to get some feedback on the matter if an American made car is the route I decide to go.
*The only exception to my employer's policy is that the discount does not effect the Mustang Boss, or the Corvette ZR1.

5.0 Mustang if it had to be a car.

Otherwise I would buy an F150 extended cab with the eco-boost motor so I had something to tow the Evo with.

I also think the new 5.0 mustang offers the best performance for the money.

Discounts are not that special. Look into which one gives you the best deal first. Some are bogus $500 of MSRP -- whooh

+1

What are you going to do with the car? Just keep it bone stock? Make it a work car? Second car?

Corvettes are overpowered you are right but ZR1's are pretty damn awesome. For the price I'd still go with a 2012 gtr though...

Taurus SHO for a daily driver.

If I wanted a fun second car probably a Mustang, but I really love the looks (and not much else) about the Challenger.

I also get a manufacturer discount, but would really not consider any of their offerings.
If the Mustang 5.0 wasn't a Mustang, I may consider it.

Now if I got a discount on Nissans.......

I have it. Nissans discount is laughable. 370z was 8k more than my Mustang. Hell, it was more than the 5.0.
