  1. You could buy a 68 galaxie, move up to a galaxie 500, or go 500xl with the 7L (428) engine. The people who bought them did it because it was the biggest engine with the most power (besides the 428cj) and had every bell and whistle available at the time. The SHO (show) is fords modern galaxie500xl with the 428cj in it. Yes it's relatively heavy but you have to ask yourself, what is the purpose of the car? Is it a performance car or a full out luxury sport sedan? Kind of a 67 impalaSS with a 427. Flagship. Yes it would be quicker as a stripper but would that serve the true purpose of it's existance? And don't forget, if ford wanted to showcase the hi-po engine they would put it in a lighter car not strip a heavy car by decontenting. A decontented sho is a hi-po taurus. (hipotaurus? LOL) Perhaps as ford did with the mustang in the mid 80's, there should be a taurus lx with the gt drivetrain available? And if you wanted the full meal deal with all the bells and whistles you got the gt? Example: Taurus, taurus lx (stripper with big engine), taurus sho? I will always agree a lighter car is quicker/faster, but does it fit in this application? Ford doesn't think so.
  2. According to that logic then, ford dealerships should take 90% of their trucks to a hidden parking lot giving the impression that there are few trucks available! Then of course buyers will flood the dealerships with renewed interest causing the same "hot demand"! Perfect, now we know the secret toyota strategy and how they sell so many tundra's. Hopefully f series sales will aspire to toyota sales...oh, wait....
  3. Don't do that maniacal laugh when you type that...or close your office door, people are starting to wonder :shades: Good times to be with ford, futures so bright, I gotta wear shades :burnout:
  4. There will always be a crisis. The current one is global cooling/warming/climate change. When the wheels are run off of it then it will switch to the next crisis. World hunger? nope done it, famine? no, communism? no, lack of food...hmmm, that could work. Let's see, there are a lot of obese Americans, plus they are self concious, and have guilt issues for anything they can blame themselves for...you know this could work. We start off by showing starving babies in africa, then fat kids in America. The only way to save them is too eat less. How? jack the price up and say it's because there is less food available. You MUST pay the food tax. If you eat out it will be 20% on top of everything. But if you eat less than the regular amount you can trade food credits Of course the rich will buy food credits, and the welfare people will trade them in for booze and cig's so it will work perfect right? Yeah, food credit's, BO can cap&trade food credits..FOR YOUR OWN GOOD of course.
  5. The best endorsement is always from satisfied customers. I like the list of vehicles she owns. About the only way this could of been better is if she borrowed the fusion and normally drove an import and THEN decided to buy a fusion.
  6. I think this is number three of the five things that I mentioned are coming from ford. <futures so bright, I gotta wear shades>
  7. LOL, can't see the forest for the tree's. Reread jpd80's post a few more times. don't look at literal translation but the essence of what is being said. Good times ahead!
  8. I said I DIDN'T include project M. There are two other projects that haven't been revealed yet. (or even leaked on various ford sites like this) "What makes it game-changing; it'll recharge in 20 minutes, and go 300 miles with the A/C on, with 4 people riding? " Demographic's is not my department, but suffice it to say we are now in the game. We will build on it.
  9. There are two important, unreleased points that will be included in this list at a later date. There is no "best chance", Ford WILL survive this crisis like many before it.
  10. Wrong and wrong There is so much more involved in the process of deciding the direction of motorsports involvment. It is better to comment on facts than personal opinion, thank you.
