    November 2005 Mustang Sales Decrease

    Anyone who claims to know what's going on with the economy or tries to lay blame with one administration or another is an idiot (ever notice how if the economy appears to be going well, the people in office will take credit, but when it is doing poorly they blame the actions of the previous...

    Colors & Pictures

    I think Ford completely blew it with the purple tint in the Tungsten. Tungsten would have been my top pick without that effect, but it looks way too disco to me. The 05 mineral gray looked a lot better IMO. I'd go with silver, especially if you are considering the red insert interior. I think...

    November 2005 Mustang Sales Decrease

    Agree. Let's say I e-mailed all my local dealers and told them I wanted a 5 speed GT (vert or coupe) and refused to pay a penny over MSRP. How easily and soon could I get a car?

    new Challenger

    Yes, and right now the Mustang has no direct competition, so what would motivate Ford to improve it? The new Challenger, like the 70-74 version, will be a bigger, heavier, more expensive car. But if DC can keep the price reasonable and make the car more practical with a bigger back seat and...

    new Challenger

    Yeah, who knows? Now I'm hearing buzz they'll bring back the Barracuda, too, on the same platform (as a Chrysler :nonono:). Again, I'll believe it when I see it. But the more V8 RWD American muscle, the better. :flag:

    Rental experience with V6 convertible

    Yeah, I saw that Hertz had a ton of those on the lot at the San Jose airport. I rented a Charger cause I needed a bigger back seat. Charger was very impressive--too bad the rental Mustangs and Chargers don't have V8s...

    new Challenger

    A few quotes from Allpar: "The new LY Dodge Challenger is planned for the 2007-2008 calendar year." “Prices will probably start around $22,000 for the V6 model (I don't know at this point if they will use a tweaked 3.5L or the 4.0L, whatever one they use, expect about 275HP). There will...

    new Challenger

    I heard 2008 or 2009 but will only believe it when I see it. If they have something ready to show now that's a good sign. DC has gotten some other show cars to production pretty quick.

    new Challenger

    Maybe I won't be buying a Mustang after all... We'll see if it actually comes out and is priced right. http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=103629

    Ford to cut 4,000 white-collar jobs

    You think it will send their stock up? The 500 is okay but they should have made it RWD and look more like the show car. DC is doing great with the RWD 300/Magnum/Charger. Fusion might make a good import beater. On the whole the lineup is too bland and they still need work on quality...

    Complaint Letter

    I have no plans to buy new, but if I did I would set up everything via e-mail and the phone. And if they tried to pull one stunt when I got there to pick up the car and turn over the money I would turn and walk out. And I'd sell my vehicle privately.

    Question about backseat usability

    What, you think a four door sedan would have done any better in that wreck?

    4th month in a row of lackluster Mustang sales

    Great post as always 351CJ Agree with most of what you wrote. Seems like the poor v6/v8 mix has led to the shortage leading to price gouging by dumb/greedy/short-sighted dealers. I don't think retro is dead at all--check out the success of the Mini, Beetle, the 300c, etc. I don't think the...
