Vote for your favorite, but make sure it's the 2005 Mustang!

Ford Motor Company worldwide has a serious and worsening problem...........ALL their cars for the past 10 years have been market failures, except for a few trucks/SUVs. Jag uar is nearlly bankrupt, Mercury and Lincoln is dying, only Mazda and Volvo have been successful. Interestingly, only these later two marques have distinctive sytle, and high quality.........................in a nut shell that's the actual truth. Nissan learned this when also nearing bankruptcy a half dozen yrs ago, and it was PRODUCT, PRODUCT, PRODUCT................as with the 350Z, Altima, Maxima, Marano, 05 Pahtfinder etc.

You know, car design and manufacturning is not rocket science..........they have been doing it for over 100 years..........reliabilty should be a given, and easy given at that, leaving design and marketing as the changing element. Just look at the Ford Freestyle or 500 compared to the Pacifica and Chrysler 300 respectively for the same price, the same is even more true with the Japanese and Europeans...........all are more attractive and innovative, more value for the buck. I predict, and I'm RARELY WRONG, that Ford's newest offerings will all go the way of the Thunderbird.

I find it incredible that a few years ago the Lincoln Town Car was redesigned moderately and no one could even tell/care..............the Crown Victoria's are ancient relics, as are the Tarus and Sable...........and this is the 'year of the car' for Ford?????? It's like GM with 20 year old Chavilars that are their top sellers.......................got the picture, it's a sad one, one designed and implemented by FMC failures............in Europe alone they have had 3 new CEO in 2 years, almost as bad as GM, I guess they all got golden parachutes, retired filthy rich, and we get to see and don't buy antiquated cars. Come to think about it, the Mustang was a rolling relics as well, I have one, enjoy it, but realize it's competitively outclassed. Let's hope after the honeymoon with the 05 that it's a worthy car............I have my doubts based on this sad history by Ford.

If you're going to come in here and bash everything we love and talk about, then consider moving to another site.

Consider yourself warned. :angry:

I think branch needs a hug. 30 posts and not one that I can remember being positive. If you are displeased with Ford and the 2005 Mustang, why post in the 2005 forum? Just go home and let us have our fun.

I"m sorry..............I actually am more frustrated with what Ford can be, not bashing for sure. I own several vehicles, including a 94 GT and it has been one of the BEST cars, but know it can be more if FMC put better and more resources into ALL their cars. I watched a special auto TV program recently re the GT and learned that Ford has over 700 designers worldwide.............well after looking at their full line up, less SUV/trucks, I wondered what they were all doing over the years of stale/old/uninspired/ market share lossing designs. It's my way of wanting to buy more Fords, maybe someone is listening. Don't mean to rain on your parade, but from the Detroit and NYC auto shows I annually attend haven't been able to warm up to the 05 GT, for reasons previously given, maybe it's just me. A deal..........I'll withold any negative comments until I see it again, and drive it, and if still displeased will go away queitly, promise .

This poll is, sad to say, more pointless now than ever. Whichever car wins is going to be the one with fans who are better cheaters ....

Actually you can vote as many times as you want. Just hit internet options under tools, and push the Delect cookies button. Close all your windows then reopen the web page and vote again. Check the date of your vote to confirm that your new vote was taken.
