  1. I haven't seen the movie, but I've seen the ads and I see a 59 Chevy, a late 50's Chevy wrecker, a Plymouth Super Bee (I think), and a VW Microbus. Where is the Ford?
  2. Simply reversing the path would not have been grounds to sue GM. But the anti vapor technology apparently is. And does anyone know why the litigation in 2003 was brought in CT?
  3. Motor Trend does a cross country drive of the GT500 and they can't say enough about how great it was!
  4. I've gotten over 250,000 miles on all the Fords I've owned which is just 4 in over 40 years! In their later years, the cars only got oil changes once every 2 years if they were lucky! I'm not proud of that fact, but Ford should be! No major repairs were necessary, just your occasional water pumps, blower motors, etc. If I brought my later vehicles in every time the "service" lights came on, I would have spent a fortune in unnecessary diagnostic fees plus unnecessary repairs! It's a big scam! The 3 Ford pickup trucks my boss let me take homeover the course of 30 years also had around 300,000 miles on each one of them! I inherited a 1985 Cadillac with the 4.1 L V8. I know, I know.............don't laugh. I never would have paid money for it. And sure enough the engine blew at 68,000 miles. But now I have 190,000 miles on this junk and even with 2 engines, GM just might want to give me an award! By the way, this model was the reason why the limo builders went to Town Cars in the 80's.
  5. Automotive News says they will keep up the ads for Fusion after initial launch, instead of abandoning it like they did the 500!
  6. I have been unofficially "selling" Ford products to my friends and relatives for 40 years. If I don't see Ford immediately withdraw from this insane legal maneuver, I will start pushing Toyotas..........which I hate! Apparently Ford is in need of cash badly!
  7. I too will never buy a Ford again until Ford backs off. Let's see how dumb the REALLY are!
  8. The last time I said this I got blasted by some people but I'll say it again. Simply changing the style of door handles can effectively change the appearance of a car. Imagine if the new Explorer did not have those unusual looking door handles. From the side, it would look pretty much the same as the previous generation.
  9. I think the smaller Charger will not be welcomed by the cops when trying to write reports etc. and just overall comfortability. The trunks are probably smaller on the Charger too. And I can't remember when any chase reached over 115 MPH and if it did, it was rare. Most depts. break off after 80 MPH usually. I don't think the Dodges are going to cut it myself. But Ford should be ready in case the Dodge is a success.
  10. I'm seeing a ton of Freestyles and 500's around here in CT. They can't be doing too badly.
  11. Is it my imagination, or is it an almost exact, if not exact, replica of the 70's version? At least the Mustang has some up to date styling.
