GM problems
What is up with the GM styling and design team. Ford and Chrysler are
pulling away. I am a GM junkie but I find myself always looking back at the "good ole days" instead of the present. Other than the Corvette the Chevy line up is weak. It seems as though the bean counters have left Ford and taken up residence at GM. Maybe they will wake up and realize that most people want well made and good looking cars. That will answer the question of why they aren't selling the cars that they currently are producing. For the love - I find myself considering a new Mustang. Rick 73 LS4 vert |

Yeah, the 500, the Freestyle, the Focus - those are really exotic. And that retro T-Bird was so hot they couldn't keep 'em in stock. > Maybe they will wake up and realize that most people want well made > and good looking cars.

Which is about all they'd have going for them right now if it wasn't for the F-150. Ford isn't GM's problem - the imports are. That and their bloated executive ranks, and labor contracts that the market can't support anymore. AJM '93 Ruby coupe, 6 sp |

The GT is exotic. GT 40 that is.

I can only dream of getting a car like that. The point is that Ford stepped out and brought back a modern day version of a legendary race car. It is in an exclusive club. I probably will never be able to own one, but if given the choice between that and a replica of a Grand Sport the GT gets my pick. Now if it was a REAL GS it would obviously be a different story. |

Both will be an exclusive club populated by hand built replicars. By the way the REAL GS was a hand built race car as were the Fords. The point is that they were both bitch'n cars but both hand built and it's the only way they will be produced in this day and age. Myself I'd take a nice Studebaker over a factory hand built Ford at that price. Yes, I own a Ford but I'm not a fan of factory hand built rip-offs, Ford or otherwise. -- Dad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd |

You know they still make the Avanti.... However I think they changed from the Camaro/firebird chassis to a FORD Mustang last year or so......not sure .. Reason of course is the lack of new Cameros etc... and I do not know what is now under the hood... Fellow Corvette Club members owns a 2002 Convertible LS1 under the hood...darn nice car ...

Can you drive the GT 40 on the street? That GS replica isn't street legal. -- lab~rat >:-) The less you care, the more it doesn't matter. |
