RoFL

I think I should call and tell them STFU already. Ford is garbage. Enough said.

ahh, not to mention, Ford owns part of Mazda(much less now, just saying), so does that mean Ford is garbage too? Since Ford share parts with Mazda.

Someone should tell him, that if Ford brought over some of its current Euro models sooner, maybe we would be buying less Made in America Japanese cars. Idiot.

I like how he thinks people going out and buying new cars is going to solve the problem. It might help... in fact, I'm sure that all this scare of those companies going out of business is hurting their sales out of fear of not having service. But that's still not going to solve their problem alone...

I bet this publicity stunt will work exactly how it was intended.

He will get lots of attention and sell cars in the process.

yeah, I'll give them that... but I kind of dislike ford (recent ford at least). Personally, for that price range, I'm not sure if the GT would even be on my list unless it was purely looks based.

Ford GT is a joke. they grab parts from here and there to make that car. Performance not even that great. failed.

Yeah I know its faster than my Rx-8 for sure, but when talk about cars in "that" price range. forget it. Even GT-R is much faster than that piece of ****. totally failed.

wow, you guys.

First off Ford > GM. Ford is asking for a line a credit in case GM and Chrysler file for bankruptcy, then Ford would suffer due to their common suppliers. Gm and Chrysler are the ones looking for a straight up loan.
Ford is competent enough to cover their bases.
Second, the Ford GT a majestic car. It is quite comparable to the Lambo Gallardo and other cars in the price range. I remember in a old comparo (sorry, my mags are at home) in which it was second against six other supercars. The biggest problem was (surprise, surprise), quality :-(.
Third, if you want a Mondeo, you willing to pay $35000 for it? It's not a direct replacement for the Fusion. The Mondeo competes against the BMW 3 series more than the typical mid-size sedan in the USA.

Because those cars are not made in the US of A. Union rulers don't like that.

So, does he have the Ford Mondeo in stock? No? Oh wait, I have to be in Europe to get the good Fords? Hmm... and this is my fault how exactly?

When Ford makes a a gas turbine, a 2-stroke 6 cylinder, or a 4 stroke 12 cylinder that weighs as little as the Renesis, and puts it in a car that seats 4, with a 50/50 balance and a price tag I can afford, then I will consider it. Until then, please keep this buffoon far from me.
