Its amazing that she, for some stupid reason, singled out the Mustang, when GM is in MUCH MUCH worse shape, and they have the Camaro coming out? Or how about what someone else mentioned, the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. It still gets crappy gas mileage for a hybrid. Where is her commentary on their cars?

Probably a fugly Prius driver.

Edit by Brad: She's not a reporter. She's just a citizen who expresses her concern in writing to the Chicago Tribune, who then publishes it in their Opinion section.

You can write her a letter at

Karen Wagner
2801 Mill Creek Ln
Rolling Meadows, IL 60008

What I don't understand is why Ford was singled out! With her line of thought, GM should cancel the Corvette and camero and Chrysler should cancel the Challenger and Viper....

I'm so tired of people thinking the mustang gas milage is awful......

My 08 GT was getting 31mpg on the highway and 23-24 in town. That's better then a lot of V6's.

She's a free-lancer in Carlsbad, CA, which is right up the road from L.A. Apparently she needed some quick cash, saw something about the Mustang reveal either on the local news or in a local paper, and dashed off the first (ridiculous) thoughts that came into her head.

<rant>

What bothers me is the ignorance in her original article and the follow-up replies she made to people's rebuttals. Her reference to the 2nd amendment to defend her "free speech" (1st amendment), unless she meant that she would defend her free speech with a gun (2nd amendment) - not likely as Libs do NOT endorse the 2nd amendment - is particularly disturbing. Not so much that she's that ignorant, but that she can be that ignorant AND BE PAID FOR IT!

The Chicago Tribune has the real responsibility here, IMO, for publishing such obvious drivel in the first place! Yes, she has a right to her opinion, and even to express it - on her own dime. But the media has the responsibility to publish factually accurate and complete information, not short-sighted, heavily politically biased opinion pieces that masquerade as truth.

But the media bailed on truth and accuracy decades ago, to the detriment of the American people...

FYI: We at themustangsource.com do not condone any acts or words directed towards the person in question that may be considered threatening, ill-tempered or outright illegal.

Just saying. Besides, doing somethign bad towards her, which I know you all are better than that, just feeds her fire. Dont be stupid
