  1. If it is Ford Credit that financed your lease, I would think you could try to initiate the buyout at another Ford Dealer at a better price especially since each dealer usually sets their own charge for the "document fee".
  2. Not too bad but if it were less gimmicky with the taillights and the big chrome bar in the grille it would look a lot better.
  3. ...............but I can't. http://www.autoblog.com/2015/09/15/2016-ford-f150-limited-4x4-price-62k/
  4. On any given day with any given driver and any given car performance results will vary. Besides, no one is probably going to buy a Camaro or a Mustang based solely on performance. It will be interesting to see the sales results though because that's what really matters.
  5. I think their designers all graduated from the School of UGLY.
  6. This thing just sounds terrible. I wonder why because it didn't sound too bad in other videos i have heard? http://gtspirit.com/2015/08/30/video-2016-ford-gt-gte-tests-at-sebring/
  7. That's typical pricing for that dealership regardless of the time of the year. (I bought my Fusion from them). They may be a little more aggressive trying to sell the 2015 models but they will likely have similar discounts on the 2016 models.
  8. This is a typical dealer offering in my area. http://www.fortmillford.com/new/Ford/2015-Ford-Mustang-f52bf3010a0e0adf4686ae8d7fcb21bf.htm And this is without any additional haggling. The "advertised" Camaro pricing at local dealers is no where near as generous as this with or without rebates. And you can bet that $1500 rebate will go away when the 2016 Camaros hit the showrooms.
  9. It does matter in my opinion. While i currently drive an older Camaro and like the new one a lot based on what i have seen and read in various articles, I wouldn't buy a new one based on price alone. And keep in mind in addition to the higher sticker price, Mustangs are discounted much more heavily than Camaros as well so the difference is even more in cash that you can keep in your pocket. But my choice if I were buying today would be a Dodge Challenger anyway.
  10. In my area, Mustangs are heavily discounted while Camaro's are not. So it's always been less expensive to buy a Mustang.
  11. It is not much different than the current one. Look like it has some new wheels also.
  12. A supercharged 5.0 makes the most sense. In fact Hennesey already has built a supercharged Mustang GT making over 700 HP. http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/2015-mustang-gt-hpe700.html
  13. I really don't think it sounds that good in the various clips i have heard. It is loud that's for sure but it doesn't sound as good as a Ferrari or an Aston or even a Corvette.
  14. The sound of a V-6 no matter how good will never be the same as a V-8. I can only hope Ford keeps a V-8 in the next GT500 for that reason alone.

  16. If this was posted before, I apologize. The Ford Engineers go into great detail explaining the new engine. It really is sophisticated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlVd6wgRscM
  17. Like this one? https://www.yahoo.com/autos/s/ford-focus-mondeo-st-rendering-makes-us-drool-210045833.html
  18. I think I misunderstood what rmc523 was saying. Maybe it is the switch to turn off the auto start-stop feature that automatically shuts off the engine when you come to a stop. I believe that feature is going to find its way into all cars in the future because it is a fuel saver (although I doubt it saves much).
  19. You can see the Auto Start button in the same place as it is today in the third picture down so I am not sure what that "A" lever is.
  20. Rail dust is more visible on the windows later in the year when the sun angle is lower in the sky than it is now.
  21. Maybe it is rail dust on the outside glass (flakes from the wheels of rail cars if your car was shipped by rail). My whole car was covered with the stuff when I got it and it was especially bad on the windows. Using a Claybar on the paint and windows will get rid of most of it. You can "feel" rail dust by running your fingers across the surface. The surface will feel rough.
  22. I like the MKZ but for $55K there are a lot of other automotive choices I like better and therein lies the problem. And why did they put the Fusion Speedometer Instrument Cluster in the MKZ? That makes no sense to me since what they had previously was much nicer.
  23. My last F150 I had on my farm was a stick. I hauled a lot of things with it but for most of the things I used it for, I was sorry I didn't have an automatic.
  24. Just to clarify, please note the following IF YOUR CAR IS NOT REGISTERED IN A RUST BELT STATE. I live in South Carolina and I just got my recall and it states the following: "Our records indicate that your vehicle is not registered in a state where road salt is frequently used and therefore is not subject to the safety recall. However we want to inform you that your vehicle is eligible for a free, one time repair of the power steering gear under the Regional Customer Satisfaction Program (15R01)." So I can get this taken care of if I so choose but it is not mandatory.
