The way I look at it, Ford knew they made a mistake because of public feedback.
They don’t need to, they sell plenty here
My gosh man. Camaro sold well initially then came the crying about visibility and ergonomics - which tbh, some of which is very true. The visibility issue is overstated imo because auto journalists have to be dramatic lol. Plus, I’m 6’3” so yeah.
Doesn't do Chevrolet any good now. GTO values are up and that was a sales flop too.
Mock and ridicule idiots who bought Mach Es? Haha, that’s funny stuff. Where? On the forums? Keyboard stuff? No one has ever said Jack shit to me when I take our Mach E places. Just genuine interest and compliments.
we laugh at you constantly and because you don't matter we have no need to let you know about it... but rest assured... we're ALL laughing at you. NOBODY believes that abomination is a mustang.
How many other GM products had the same 20% off that year? Dealers got allocated 1-2 SS at most and were trying hard to get more all 4 yrs it existed here. A few super dealers like Classic in Grapevine, TX got dozens due to high initial sales. They sold them to buyers all over the country.Fair enough. But, right now, there’s a very vocal minority that shits on any plan involving Mustang naming for snythjng other than a 2 door coupe. Minority. Mostly older demographic that isn’t driving sales growth moving forward. The deal is already done, adapt or don’t.
They sat on the lots forever even with huge discounts. They were a sales flop. Sorry bud.
It hurt hot-rodding. Guys were swapping back to carbs for a long time. It took a long while for the tools to come out and the knowledge to spread. Plus most of the early EFI setups sucked.I remember this same type of backwards thinking in ‘85 when the switch to EFI in ‘86 was imminent. I was only 11 but my step dad talked about it and the car magazines were flooded with letters about untunable, un-modable, impossible to work on EFI that was going to be slower and cost more.
How did that work out?
Exactly. And every MLB team has now had a dedicated analytics group for decades now. And the late adopters got left behind. Even College Baseball has had analytics depts for way over decade now. Pitch design labs and swing analysis cages are everywhere. Anyway…If anyone here has seen the movie Moneyball, there’s a great line when Billy Beane is talking to his head scout because the scout doesn’t like the “new school” approach of analytics. He’s old school, the “eye test” so to speak. Billy flat out tells him his justification for the new approach, “adapt or die”. That’s how businesses have to think. As Holden mentioned, there’s competition coming into the space from right down the road at GM. Everyone here was bitching not too long ago that Ford is sitting on their hands because the Mustang competition left. Now, Ford is adapting because here comes competition and y’all are bitching.
