I think I get it now.
Any of us can make statements that sound like absolute truths...as long as we add 'IMO' at the end.
Since The Pill does not add 'IMO', it is appropriate for you to say "he states his opinions as if they are gospel truth, so many users here may be mislead by his...
It was very clearly stated that the Ford GT was a two year program. Then something changed. Winning LeMans? Success in IMSA WTC GTLM? A new Ford Performance department under Dave Pericak? And now we have at least a four year racing and production program for the FGT.
We also now have a Fusion...

This caught my eye.
"When it comes to sales, the Mustang is currently kicking in the Camaro's teeth. That doesn't seem to have stopped Ford from continuing to improve the car."
I wonder how the large backlogs for Mustangs ordered overseas is playing into Fords thinking. It is springtime in Aus and NZ now and never ending summer in a lot of other places.
I wish we had monthly Mustang shipment data for at least the different oversea regions. Just think of how many...
I am wondering what might happen with Challenger sales when they release the new car based on the Alfa Romero Guilia. If the new Challenger has some American Muscle Car cred and FCA is not too concerned about robbing sales from the Alfa Guilia, FCA might be in a good position to chase Mustang...
"at the detriment of other things" sure seemed like a strange statement. What 'other things' could he be referring to other than profits, and I highly doubt the story about GM wanting fewer cars at higher profits. Not with that backlog of cars sitting in their sales lots.
He simply had nothing...
The Pill provided the following in the Aug Sales thread.
"The Mustang's recent decline in the US market has been offset by foreign demand. Last year, around 4000-4500 Mustang's shipped overseas a month. This year, 5000-6000 are shipped a month. By 2017, overseas Mustang sales could match the...
Do you have a reliable source for overseas shipments/sales for each month? I asked the folks at GoodCarBadCar, but they said that data was not available. I would love to see that overseas data added to our discussion on sales each month.
I wonder what the reactions would be like on Camaro6 if...
C&C crashes is all the Mustang haters have left now that Mustangs have an IRS and there is a hot looking Fusion Sport out there making Mustang resemblance a good thing.
Yeah 86 Mustangs. Mine has 274K miles and I will never give it up, despite my nagging grandsons.
Guilty as charged!
Although I would never ask if it was hers. I know too many gals with fast cars, but my first thought is always, 'Is that her GT or her SO's.
In an attempt to bring this thread back close to it's intended subject,
I offer these pics of a G5 Camaro mule with some additional parts from the GM parts bin.
I don't think that is any different then people's passion for sport teams. We all seem to have a strong desire to be on a winning team, whether it is football, cars, phones, politics, countries, religions, or races. When you are not a player, then all you can do is cheer for your side or boo the...
There was an interesting article in The Truth About Cars on just these points.
See http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2016/09/ford-fusion-wagon-winner-heres/
See the section called "SHOWING UP IS 80 PERCENT OF LIFE"
"Consider the case of GM’s two decade dominance in full-size SUVs. We take for...
Are you saying that you don't get many potential buyers concerned about rear seat and trunk space, visibility, weak styling upgrades, etc? Just price? Even with the discounts now available?
Memphis has alluded to difficulty in selling against the S550 styling, but without being specific. Are...
This paragraph grabbed my attention.
"Unlike the recently launched UK Mustang, however, the Camaro’s still only available here in LHD – which may be an immediate stopping point for most. Those not fussed by in-car-clamberings at ticket barriers and the like, however, may well want to take a...

The new 10-speed gearbox will appear in the Ford Raptor and the Chevy Camaro ZL1. It's a high-performance box with a lot of gears.

Add Germany as well. I have met several Mustang fans from Germany at MCA shows.
True Story: My wife and I once pulled our 86 GT into a parking lot on the south rim of the Grand Canyon and a very excited middle-aged man came running over to the car. He was a German tourist and asked me lots of...
Is that article correct in referring to 'Sony's Sync 3' system? I thought Sony only contributed the sound system head unit to Fords, but the QNX based infotainment screen was developed by a 3rd party for Ford.
Is it only the sound system being replaced by HK?
