Sucks to see guys loose jobs for sure..hate it for the guys in the trenches when it is the guys wearing suits who are at fault.

Ford has been spoiled with the success of the Mustang...for many years it really was the main show in town..the Camaro didn't have a chance really since 1969...that was the last year that the Camaro was a viable Muscle car IMO.
I am a HP freak/Muscle car enthusiast...the last great thing Ford did for guys like me,the average HP junkie, was the 2003/2004 SVT Cobra(note my signature). Honesly GM has effectively(and finally!) handed the Ford Mustang it's ass on a platter with the new Camaro(again notice my signature). From the 1970 model year until the pause in prodution of the Camaro you couldn't have given me one...the 2010 Camaro on the other hand is serious turn around for GM in the Muscle Car market,they finally brought some of the awseome Corvette engineering to the average Joe,they brought back the true spirit of the original Camaro and the bang for the buck is unsurpassed,just as it is with the Corvette. I got into my 2SS/RS for about what I would have paid for a Mustang GT Premium which really compares to an RS Camaro HP and feature wise.
Ford has had alot of success with the Mustang....finally someone jumped in to take some of that...competiton is good for the consumer.
