Like I said before, I'd think Ford would work out some sort of agreement with the new owners to continue to share technologies. Either that or retain some percentage of ownership.

I didn't realize that.

A triple post, interesting. I guess I've had a quadruple post before though. Anyways, what Thunderbird announcement are you referring to?

I'd guess you're pretty close to being right in your assumptions.

Thanks for your input.

King Ranch is probably my favorite model. The Harleys are nice as well, I just don't like black interiors though.

I believe his point was that the vehicle should not be put into fleets to destroy residual values.

The instigator, of course. No thread would be complete without one.

No, he doesn't like Euro Focus vs US Focus arguments on threads that are supposed to be about the Verve. And he doesn't like Panther arguments on threads that are about something else. If there is a thread devoted to those topics, he could care less, but when topics veer from their original meanings, that's when he doesn't like it.

That'd be a good one. You could also broaden that to: Pscario & friends vs. RichardJensen & friends.

That's where it appeared to take away from bed space (around the wheel wells), not the rest of the bed.

I was thinking Mercury could become Ford's 'sporty' brand as well. Maybe throw a slight touch of luxury in there too.

I like the new Super Duties. That emoticon is funny.

It seems like Ford is blamed for everything these days. I'd laugh if that guy that switch to Chevy because of this incident had his Chevy stolen as well.

double post.

I saw that one being auctioned off. Pretty cool car.

So the new Falcon will still get the I6? I thought the new Falcon was to get the 3.5 from launch. Interesting....

He thought you thought it had a 6 speed before because you said "They changed it to a 5 speed, I don't know why."

Hahaha!!! Good one BlackHorse!

Actually, I don't think it looks that bad.

I'd rather have them have a competitive entry to the market. Some may think it would've been better to rush a product here to establish a customer base. In my thinking, if that product is not up to snuff and is not at least equal with the competition, whatever customers you did gain would go to another brand for their next purchase, so you'd be starting from scratch anyways. With a competitive entry, Ford will not only establish a customer base for the current times, they will establish a customer base that extends into the future that will continue to buy that good quality Ford product.

It seems the new crease/indent/whatever you'd like to call it above the fender flares makes them look more pronounced, at least to me.
