- Mikey My late wife loved Mustangs ..We alway rented one while travelling . GM blood vetoed me purchasing one . 3 years after retirement bought an 08 rag top, followed by a 15 EB Hard top, In 18 i bought a low low mileage 05 GT rag with a stick.. The car had not been properly stored. That led to rodent issues !! Electrical nightmare. Lots of bucks !! The stick wasn't kind to my aging knees.. The 05 went to a long term dedicated Mustang guy. He loves it .. Today my garage tenant is a sweet 19 Camaro RS rag 6yl Auto. I just might take it out of hibernation this weekend. The Mustang will always hold a place in my heart.. Kudos to Ford for keeping it alive . I refuse to refer to the fake one by that storied name .
- Ajla On the Mach-E, I still don't like it but my understanding is that it helps allow Ford to continue offering a V8 in the Mustang and F-150. Considering Dodge and Ram jumped off a cliff into 6-cylinder land there's probably some credibility to that story.
- Ajla If I was Ford I would just troll Stellantis at all times.
- Ronin It's one thing to stay tried and true to loyal past customers; you'll ensure a stream of revenue from your installed base- maybe every several years or so.It's another to attract net-new customers, who are dazzled by so many other attractive offerings that have more cargo capacity than that high-floored 4-Runner bed, and are not so scrunched in scrunchy front seats.Like with the FJ Cruiser: don't bother to update it, thereby saving money while explaining customers like it that way, all the way into oblivion. Not recognizing some customers like to actually have right rear visibility in their SUVs.
- MaintenanceCosts It's not a Benz or a Jag / it's a 5-0 with a rag /And I don't wanna brag / but I could never be stag

Hello all, Mind if I throw my two cents in ? Like all red blooded american males , I grew up lusting after a Corvette. But I grew up a jock and after school I had practice. In my time you could buy a brand new 63 split window coupe for under $5000.00 ! In 1968 it was up to about $5500.00 These are the years I wanted from 1963 (junior high) to 1972 (college). After that in my life, who had time for play cars ? With finding a good job, buying a house ,supporting a wife and kids, kids college bills etc. But, now its me time, and I want to see what I missed out on ! OMG a split window coupe needing work is $70,000.00 ! So , ok a C2 or a C3 can be had cheaper. Just make some adjustments and think it out. I am not so interested it the horsepower chase anymore and a softer ride now is not a bad thing, infact a few things like AC or a power seat is welcomed . I popped for a very nice midwestern 1981 Covette that spent its winters in the gargage. Its a sweet ride to me....and thats all that counts Enjoy the sun but dont forget the sunscreen. Peace be the journey.....Cool Runnings. -Polski-
