    so why didn't Ford build this car 5 years ago?

    Someone needs a hug. Please read that Honda is developing a V8 powered truck slated for a 2008/9 release, to go along with the midsized 4 door concept you have seen. The Nissan Titan has more horsepower than the F-150, why do you think ford is having to build the new truck engine, Ford has...

    so why didn't Ford build this car 5 years ago?

    Yes but in 1999 ford didnt have japanese competition in the large SUV and large truck segment and was too busy churning out explorers and f-150's as fast as people could buy them. As stated above there wasnt a pressure as there is now because Toyota hadnt surpassed ford in sales in 1999. Ford...

    so why didn't Ford build this car 5 years ago?

    With the Japanese now concentrating on the large truck and SUV segment and Toyota surpassing fords sales, ford has to do something to get back into the passenger car business. Even Honda has shown a light truck they are building. The market was profitable for them because U.S. automakers had a...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    What is wrong with these GTO people? Why come here and troll a mustang message board where people admittedly have a bias, trying to justify a car that was a failure by most of the public’s measure. I really am beginning to think that not enough GTO’s were sold for you guys to even talk on your...

    so why didn't Ford build this car 5 years ago?

    In a time of ultra high volume, ultra high profit SUV's the mustang takes a back burner for ford. Passenger car development in general at ford was at a standstill. The mustang was also selling well with no major drop in sales for 20 years. Its hard to motivate bean counters to change a car...

    Is Windveil Blue a feminine color?

    Yeah drive the color you think looks best. I hate black but most people like that color on a car. I didnt like the Windveil or Legend Lime in the press photos but in person its rather striking. Also if you look at the 1960's vettes and Stangs painted colors looking xlose to this they are...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    Its going to take a while to clear the lots of 2004 models. Pontiac has a 150+ day supply of GTO's right now. Below 60 day is a desirable amount for the beginning of the year, below 20 day for the end of the year. Here is a brand new, 37 mile, 04 gto fully loaded even has the auto with a MSRP...

    Opinions on Kumho Ecsta MX

    Ive had them before and liked the performance. The wear was horrible though. They lasted half the miles of yokohamas, goodyears, and dunlops I have had. So unless they are half the price you really arent saving anything.

    My local dealer has sold 7 (every non presell one he could get) so far all over invoice. I imagine it will calm down soon though as all the impatient people that had to be the first to get one have thiers. I told my dealer I would be back in 6 months and he tried to pull the line "dont you...
