fordmantpw Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Don't forget the little fries with the cajun seasoning. Oh yeah, those are the best! My wife just mentioned yesterday how she was hungry for a Five Guys burger. Nearest one is 60 miles away, so it'll have to wait a while.

rperez817 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 That's like saying I'm not going to buy hamburgers at Five Guys any more if they stop selling hot dogs. Fair point. There's a good reason though not to buy either hamburgers or hot dogs at Five Guys. They are overpriced, overcooked garbage! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood the love affair with Five Guys (or Chick-Fil-A for that matter) Burgers are so so. Though If I want a super overpriced, over rated burger I can go to Millers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snooter Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) So do you actually plan to buy a mustang at some point? If not why do you care?

Ford's recent announcements suggest that they are aware of what Mustang means to them and how important the car is. I don't think they will mess with it.

MKX1960 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Actually the average age of a Mustang buyer is 49 years old. Not many kids can afford a Mustang's insurance before 25-I was paying alot for my 1998 Mustang GT at the time-and I got quotes of $7K a year for insurance with a perfect record. Insurance rates on Mustangs have gone down-when I got my 2006 Mustang GT-it was actually cheaper to insure then my 2002 SVT Focus and I was 30 at time. I was 64 when I got my 14. I was going to try again but the new one's seem like the roof is lower and I can't get comfortable in one. Maybe, it's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice-capades Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Getting rid of the Mustang would drive away most under 25 male customers. That's what they want and when the wife comes along and says we need an Escape now, that business is gone as well. The <25 year old male customers usually can't afford to buy new Mustangs or afford the insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Around here the only under 25 new mustangs I see are driven by girls, probably a present from mommy and daddy. Guys under 25 seem to be driving older/used mustangs. Today's 18-25 yr olds just aren't as interested in owning cars as in the past. I saw an article from 2013 that said car ownership in that age range had dropped from 92% back in the 90s to around 75%. I'm sure it's even less today. More and more of the millennials want an urban lifestyle and ride bikes, use mass transit, walk, etc. and along with a general disinterest in cars, more of them aren't even getting their driver's license.

itguy09 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Excluding ST, RS, Sport, and Hybrid/Energi versions (maybe SHO also), Ford's passenger cars in the U.S. that aren't named Mustang lack product appeal. They haven't seen major updates for many years and look old, feel old. Ford has been resorting to huge incentives and lots of fleet sales on them. No surprise Ford executives said recently these cars are money losers. You can say the same about all cars in general. Honda has a brand new Accord and doesn't discount and is declining in sales. Toyota has a brand new Camry and has to discount heavily to barely break even or have a slight decline in sales. I've been in a 17 Fusion and it's not a bad place to be. The one I was in has the low end Sync and that's all that "looks and feels old". The Focus (except sedan) still looks good but has that God-Awful DCT. The Taurus was great in 2010 but they F'ed that up with no ads and no changes. Ford's cars are not that bad but I get what they are saying in letting that low profit, declining sales market go elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what's even better is my son can eat it because it doesn't have all the freaking additives and $hit everyone thinks they need to add to their foods nowadays.

akirby Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 If Ford debuted the current Fusion as a new vehicle today it would be well received and very competitive. There’s nothing wrong with it outside of lower fuel economy. The problem is it’s the same car that debuted in late 2012. People want something different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rperez817 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Best chain burger period. Again, akirby and I agree. You are welcome to agree eating substandard hamburgers.

jasonj80 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Chick-Fil-A at least has consistently good service and reasonable pricing. waffle fries, and free sauces too. Chick-Fli-A changed their chicken about 5 years ago. It now has a noticeable different (fake smokey) taste. Chick-Fil-A started because of Ford (and the Atlanta Assembly plant) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Chick-Fil-A not only has the best food and workers but their lunch time drive-thru is the best in the business. They have two folks with tablets taking your order as soon as you get in line including credit card payment. Then you just drive around and pick up your food which is almost always waiting for you at the window. There can be 10 cars in line ahead of you and you’ll have your food within 5-6 minutes. It’s amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Chick-Fil-A started because of Ford (and the Atlanta Assembly plant) True. Did you know that when Ford closed the Atlanta Taurus plant they gave Truett Cathy (chick-fil-a founder) the last one off the assembly line? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, now I know you either don't know what you're talking about or are trolling. They may or may not be the best, but they're certainly not substandard, unless you think tiny dry patties are great.
