Cars.com video review

Pretty mediocre review. But I don't think I've seen it here yet, so I'll post it.

At the very least you get to see the Brembo package on a vert.

Please, someone option me one of these cars like that. I think he was using his employee price for those numbers!

Yeah, don't know what they were thinking, maybe thinking about a loaded base car...

My GT stickers for a little over $40k and it's not even a convertible. The invoice alone is 37.5k.

Add the $2300 NAV to a base car and you're at $27k with delivery.

Can't get nav unless you get a premium.

Everybody's a critic.

So you can load a base out with... the comfort group... nope. The electronics package... nope. HID's, nope.

You can get the
Sport Appearance Package for $295.
Security package for $395.
3.31 Axle for $395.
Automatic for $995

And a bunch of stick-on accessories.

All that for $25k.

That doesn't seem like a "loaded" V6 to me. When you bump up to the Premium you're pretty much starting at $27k.

This all according to Ford's B&P.

"marketing" verb - to represent a lie as truth.
