  1. All have to say, is who thought of doing the Twin Force Engine? I personally think its the most exciting new engine coming from Ford in the next couple years. If they can get 20 MPG in a F-150 with it and then have it power the Mustang with 450 HP and use it in other applications....its makes me go wow why didnt I think of it :P
  2. I got mine A plan so I didn't have to worry about the pricing...but I do have to agree with you 46K on a Mustang is just plain stupid! I think thats the biggest problem with Ford dealers..is that they have some crappy products that they have to sell and then when they get something in demand, they want to rape the customers coming in for it.
  3. Thats funny, since my family had 5 of them and only the 82 Wagon was POS. We had an 86 GT last till 1998 with over 200K on and 2 major accidents and a 92 LX that went 120K with just an IAT needed to be replaced on it.
  4. I'll add in my comments here: I had a 98 Mustang GT, an 02 SVT Focus, and now a 06 Mustang GT as background... As for it being Heavy, its within a 100-150 lbs of the 350Z and G35 I don't get how you can compare the RX-8 to a base model V6 Mustang, when the V6 stang starts at 20K and the RX8 starts at nearly 6-8K more Talking about interiors...my friend had a G35 coupe and the seats where great on with really nice leather, but a big WTF on the dash...why did they PAINT the center stack silver? I though that cheap looking and kind of nasty to be found on a car like that. Yet again the pricing thing again...a Loaded GT is about 30K (starts at 25-26K IIRC) a G35 Starts at 34K and if you load it up, goes to nearly 40K for many of the same options you can get on that loaded GT...thats a huge difference in price. As for the interior...I'll agree with the Materials thing for the most part, but I do like the overall design of it, but it would have been nicer to have higher quaitly plastics in it...I find the drivers seat to fit me with no problems and I'm 6'2
  5. I don't get what your saying here...you want the Mondeo...but if you read in-between the lines of that article, you'll see that the Mondeo and Fusion will be more or less the same car come 2012, when both are due serious updates and then they can be combined. Its like the Fiesta coming over..they are waiting till the new model comes out before instead over a platform that is a couple years into its life cycle. l
  6. Well thats the thing, the Mustang and F-series are there own little brands within Ford (and it shows since they are the only two that haven't been seriously screwed up in the past 20 yrs)..I would like to see a Lincoln based on the Mustang, but with AAI building as many Mustangs as it can and with the new 6 coming online next year, I don't see how they can fit in there, unless the remove the Mustang and build it along with the MKR and Interceptor some place else. A luxury buyer would never look at a Mustang in the first place, but I'm sure that pently of older Mustang owners and future owners would pay good money to have some extra tech in the car that might only be found on a Luxury car. Plus who knows whats going on with Mercury...the D3 mercury is gone in 2010 and the MetaOne never made it off test prototypes. I haven't seen or heard anything new in the pipe for them either...not a good sign
  7. Ford still has a stake in Aston, so its possible that it will reaquire them in the future...BTW I haven't seen a press release saying who did buy them.. As for the Monedo thing...I wouldn't expect that to happen till 2012...then it would be alot easier to combine them then since the Fusion's refresh will be 3 years old and the platform will be about 6-7 years old. The Mondeo will be ready for a refresh then, so it would be the best bet for it to happen
  8. Way before my time...I'm 32 BTW LOL
  9. Holy crap I actually agree with you on this!
  10. People are getting larger and larger...I'm glad they made the car so I can fit my 6'2 ass into it. Its worlds better then the old SN95, which had about the same interior space as my 86 Escort GT. its not macho to force yourself into a car...I like the Sky and Solstice, but I said in one and I couldn't even fit my feet into the wheel wheels with the seat all the way back.
  11. Thats what I was looking for, but couldnt find the damn thing
  12. 3.5L is already designed for Direct Injection and Turbo applications: http://www.answers.com/topic/ford-cyclone-engine
  13. I like this better then the other Falcon that was shown as the 40th anniversary model
  14. Did it have the chrome surround? the one I saw didn't...looks good
  15. So the 3.7 won't be a Lincoln exclusive engine? Guess it will be replacing the 4L in all of Ford's trucks
  16. Keep in mind that the Mustang was in tight supply (and in demand) from fall of 2004 till Spring of 2006 (took 3 months for my Mustang to be built, ordered in December 05) is part of the reason why it was selling so well. I'm sure demand has tapered off due to demand being satisfied.
  17. I took the Mustang in for a wash today and I saw a Brand new 08 Escape leaving the car wash today. It doesn't look anything like the outgoing model (similar, but not the same like the deal with the 02 and 06 Explorer) and looks pretty sharp. For some reason the grill reminds me of an old school F-150 from the Early 90's..
  18. Wow thats a horrible photoshop! I like either the Escort or Feista name...my family had 5 Escorts and a 79 Feista and they where all pretty good cars except the 82 Wagon, which couldnt get out of its own way
  19. Damn you...you know that thing where you get white shit on the ground...then again it was 60 degrees out Jan 1 in NJ
  20. its also winter time...plus Mustang production and demand are finally caught up with one another...that happened right around this time last year...Not too bad of a run of having product shortage for a year and a quarter..
  21. Lookie what I got today: This is the second email survey I got from Ford...the other was on a future B-car
  22. Well from your posting, you seem to be an insider, but you could also take this as people who buy a Ford and hate the damn thing and never buy another. I really don't see Ford going the way of Oldsmobile either...
