be careful what you wish for.....

Mettech, He doesn't have anything that says that....I picked up the phone and asked a question. I am now passing that info along so that others can benefit from my experience. I liken it to an old Italian saying, "A closed mouth never gets fed."

Contact Ford directly.....

comment from mlhm5 in ....5......4.....3.....2......

Agree 100%.....Dodge cars would possibly get the axe but Dodge trucks continue....a shame though, I could see Challenger and Charger with Genesis underpinnings as well as Chrysler 300, and well.....since Genesis is RWD......The question of.."does that thing got a Hemi in it?" would now be international in scope.

My parents bought a Mazda5 and Dad owns Ford stock....as a share holder, he is entitled to Ford's "X" plan price.....under Mazda, it is called "S" plan. Apply for your pricing plan PIN number and present it to the dealership. Like any other dealership, they don't have to participate...and I ran into that at my local Mazda dealership.....I told them, "Oh really??" and walked out. The dealership in the next town was more than glad to sell me a car at S-Plan pricing.

The Excursion was the first victim of this current mess....

The title of this thread should read, "GM kills Tahoe/Suburban planned update" As I have read and inferred from the article is about what others here have stated, they are going to continue with the current model, most likely, with some slight updates. A prudent course of action in these troubling times in auto circles.

I still have a hunch that Hyundai is going to come in when no one expects it and buy up Chrysler.....Nissan/Renault have too many irons in the fire, VW is being taken over by Porsche, the various Chinese car companies are busy trying to dominate their home turf, Ford needs the ChryCo divisions like they need a hole in the head, Tata is buried with new debt from Jag and land Rover, Fiat has zero presence in the US. Hyundai just seems to be best positioned to take up the "Chrysler challenge"

Well.....he always had his beloved Panther.....

Don't forget to pick up a bucket of steam and a box of short circuits.

Nah...Tata has too much on their plate with their recent purchase of Land Rover and Jaguar, they are also having major problems with the landowners in the Indian province where the Nano plant was to be built....and their stock has been lagging as of late....Chinese may have the cash but no logistics for the US market and they would further founder....Hyundai is best suited to ride in and buy up Chrysler...it gives them much needed access to areas of the US market that they have wanted to get into, full size trucks, luxury division (an example would be the Chrysler 300, reborn with Genesis DNA....)

Don't be too awful surprised if Hyundai swoops in and buys Chrysler, it would be a better fit for them than at GM.

SHWWIIIINGGGGG!!!!! It's is my all time favorite color too..... Ivy Glow metallic!!!! I love this movie aready.....great Ford car...Clint as a reluctant hero.....two thumbs WAAAAAAY up!

:censored:

How about FleXplorer X??? :hysterical:

By the tone of this post thread, you would think G8 is getting the axe tomorrow....it sounds like GM is going to pull a "Mercury" on Pontiac....let it wither on the vine and shrivel up to nothing.....

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth when I saw that gawd-awful looking POS......but then I thought..."hmmmm, a new Cougar??"

Sounds like AC/Delco is headed down the same path Autolite went....

My 2006 Fusion has the dealer installed remote start and I love it. I went shopping for it 1st and when I went to the local aftermarket spot to get a price....1st thing he says is, "ugh....those Fords are a pain in the ass to install...". Needless to say, he's not getting MY car for the install! Price was comparable. I am sure there have been $$ increases from my 2006 purchase but at that time, it was $300 + tax. You may want to double check that Viper system, the ole...."oops, I forgot to include the security interface module into the price quote." bait and switch can easily happen if he thinks he's got an easy mark to slide that one by. My suggestion is simple, go with the Ford unit.

After GM "merges" with Chrysler (Dr Evil voice, "....riiiiiiight")....then General Chrysler can pull another merger off and bring Ford into the behemoth. After that we can call it.....American Motors Corporation ......no, wait a minute.........

AM General may have created the HMMWV (aka a HUM-VEE) but it was GM that created the HUMMER division, not Jeep, not AM General. The current offerings of HUMMER have nothing to do with Jeep at all..... Still like the Nissan ad.

The only "wasted" vote is the one not cast.....

You may be right.....but if GM gets ChryCo, then they should use Chrysler to replace Buick and kill off Buick. Chrysler has more cache than Buick in todays marketplace. Examples would be the Buick LaCrosse would be re-labeled as the Chrysler LaCrosse or Sebring, and the Buick Enclave would become the Chrysler Aspen. As I have suggested, any realignment of the brands under a GM/ChryCo merger would streamline the "GM" side of the equation by eliminating Buick and GMC, and making the "GM" dealerships all "Chevrolet/Saab/Pontiac/Cadillac. Then streamlining ChryCo by eliminating Dodge cars and make all the ChryCo dealerships Saturn/Chrysler/Dodge truck/Jeep SUV. For this to work, GM would also need take Hummer and fold it into Jeep, turning Hummer into a series of a Jeep product instead of its own brand. Dodge truck would take the place of GMC with the GMC customers that want nothing to do with Dodge turning to Chevrolet for their truck needs. A daunting task indeed...but if done correctly....it will build into a stronger company that will fend off the competition from Germany and Asia...but not Dearborn!! :shades:
