... which the automotive world refuses to acknowldedge. The unique thing about the retro '94s (through the '98s at least) was that they blended the retro theme with the aero theme.

We need a 21st century Fox body. Take the next generation Focus, make it RWD, and stick a V8 in it. I love the looks of the S197, but it's too big. It feels more like driving my Crown Vic than like driving a Mustang.

It's not going to happen. When have you heard of a car going to fleet only and then becoming a retail car again?
-
I wouldn't eat anything with "glory hole" in the name.
-
So clearly it's Ford's fault.
-
What no one has mentioned--and this cannot be emphasized enough--is that the new Camaro is tremendously fat and ugly.
-
Ford offered CNG Crown Vics for years. They didn't sell well enough for Ford to continue offering them.

Dream on. I'm sure you could find at least one person who would like tofu wrapped in bacon, too.

My county got some Mustang GTs in 2005. I don't know if FHP has any or not. Anyway, police are just using retail Mustang GTs now. They aren't Special Service Package cars like the legendary Fox 5.0s.

My interior is black. The FR500's interior is white. They don't paint the dashboard. The portions of the interior that are painted are white.

A hybrid Crown Vic would be the automotive equivalent of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup made of bacon and tofu—the two ingredients just don't go together and appeal to opposite types of people.

And yet thousands of them roam the streets of New York City.

They shoot the car the same color inside and out. You can paint it whatever color you like. The guy who painted my '95 was doing some work on one.
-
I don't know if anybody paid a markup, but the dealers around here were marking them up.
-
Exactly, what little market there is for these cars has no interest in hybrids. And people who are interested in hybrids will never be interested in Panthers. Why not suggest Ford switch to unibody construction, FWD, and a four-cylinder engine?
-
It would be nice to get an '09 Bullitt without paying dealer markup. I'm concerned that the 2010 models will gain weight and that the rumors of a massive power increase are just that. Anyway, I'm about done fixing up my '95 GTS, so I'll stick with it for a while.

NOOooooooooo!!!

It would be too embarrassing to cancel it now--they've been teasing with it for almost three years.

Back to Calculon....
-
The SRT8 should be out about now.
-
Must be a rental-car-only grade....
-
Yeah, I don't know of any manufacturer that recommends anything below 87.
-
You can get gasoline with less than 87 octane? What can you use it in, an L-head Plymouth six?
-
I suspect you'll be able to get a good deal on one. Yes, the Mustang rear is a little bland, but it's not offensively ugly. It's also integrated into the rest of the design.

"NOOOOooooooooo!!!"
