  1. Wow that camo is pretty hard the eyes
  2. I hope so, I was really impressed by my Bro-in-Law's Fusion Hybrid..the interior was just as nice as my friends G35 and TL he owned, material wise
  3. You underrate yourself, I was speaking a Lawyer friend of mine who worked for Vonage at one point in his Career...he was telling me that another lawyer from a firm that was working for Vonage was doing something and worked a weekend to get it done...and charged Vonage something like $79K for the work! Then I have another friend who has a friend who makes 600K a year...I was bored and punched the numbers into a payroll calender....that works out to 12K every two weeks! Thats just insane
  4. My comment stems from GM paying off Fiat a couple years ago to get rid of them, thats when Fiat started to gain traction overseas... As for Fiats success in the US...I wish them luck since they are going to need it. If they think they can pull what they are doing in Europe in the States, I think they are going to be in for a shock. Plus I don't see how they can pull this off with all the debt and lack of $$$ they have if they did go the Opel route.
  5. Thats chump change, I have 1.5 million people living in two counties where I live :P and I'm about an hour drive from NYC via car or under 2 hrs via train
  6. I wonder when the last time a Lincoln's interior was rated better then an import?
  7. Because its lot harder to ship a car over the Pacific then it is from Canada or Mexico....
  8. Goes back to demand...its far easier to find someone to replace someone who works on an automotive line then it is to find someone who has good business sense to run a company that was as fucked as Ford was/is Your assuming again, do you think that Fields is going to get his free airplane rides back when Ford starts posting a profit? No its not that...isn't the whole point of having a job is to improve upon yourself and make more money? If you take away perks or other things that the "upper class" have, where is my motivation to keep improving myself if I'm just gonna have the same shit that everyone else has? Sounds like your unhappy with your job and your stuck in a rut with no future.
  9. I'd say no 6 Speeds till the 3.5L and 5.0L V8 hits the market. Though I really wonder if the GT will get a 6 speed at times...I'd assume the Coyote has a similar transmission housing to the Mod motors?
  10. Well I sure as hope that the SHO gets better then 15/24 that ford is estimating...
  11. I'm sure it looks better in person then that perspective that photo is taken at...which is roughly equal to a 2 foot Troll
  12. So this is what happens when GM pays off Fiat for 2 billion dollars...they lose their European Operations to them... Boy GM is FUCKED
  13. I'd have to agree with you, my friend had a F-250/350 then went to a Diesel E-250 for his work vehicle since was just easier to have the van and lock everything in it then worry about the F-350 and having material/tools get screwed up due to the weather.
  14. I was over my sisters place last night for my Nephew's 3rd B-day party and my Bro-in-law got his Fusion Hybrid this past weekend. I didn't get to drive it, just sit in it with my nephew crawling all over me and pushing buttons LOL Anyways things that stood out to me: First off I'm totally impressed that the dealership got him the car so quickly. He placed the order back at the end of March to get the full Tax Credit. I was expecting a bunch of BS run-a-around with the car considering how popular it is etc etc The interior quality is top notch. The materials are really nice in it and it fixed a major complaint I had with the Fusion..the door panels where cheap looking on the previous Gen model. I totally loved the HMI on the IP panel, would love to see that in other Ford Products I was pleasantly surprised at the tailend of the car. In the photos, I never noticed that there was additional scupting that went around the tag mount into the tail lights. I really got a strong European look inspired by the Monedo after seeing this. The grill looks really good in person, not as overpowering as I thought it was going to be. I saw my first 2010 Fusion in NYC last Saturday for a moment and it looked good. After seeing all this I guess it wouldn't be too bad if I didn't get an SHO and settled for a Fusion Sport instead
  15. The problem is that the Internet magnifies any issue out there...think of it this way...if all you see is negative posts on something, your going to think that product or service is going to blow, till you see its coming from only a half a dozen users or so...See some of the trolls we had here. There are Lots of "Fans" out there, but if they aren't putting their money where their mouth is, they are about fucking useless to a company. Most of Ponitacs buyers where fleet vehicles anyways.
  16. It was and many people where critical of the stupid stuff he was doing back then....BON and the predecessor site have been around in some form since 1998 or so the Message board took a shit a couple times since then
  17. I have a house I go past in the AM when I go into work, has an older Explorer Sport in front of it that has been in fairly serious accident, but the thing I don't get at all with it is that the Grill and headlights are perfectly fine, but the Bumper and hood are totally fucked up!
  18. They could always force them to take a bus to get to the games So your saying that No CEO has ever had a crappy job before coming a CEO where they had to do grunt work? That's what I don't get about you...you bitch and complain, but hey isn't is a basic human nature to do a job and tried to get paid as much for it and maybe to a lesser extent not bust your ass all the time to do it? But I guess Busting ass is all in the eye of the beholder...might think Mulally's Job is easy, but I'd say its a lot harder to make people play nice with one another then it is do what ever you might do as an electrician
  19. Is it just me or does the US Sedan have a grill that looks more like the Verve concept then the Chinese shown Sedan?
  20. LOL where are these classy dealers your talking about? :P
