Dodge had 5 years to come up with a Mustang-beater and they couldn't even match the outgoing model,talk about "prioritized" performance......ohhhh,it's a nicer car,it has a nicer ride,go put on a dress. That's a wussy argument,ohhhh,a Accord is a nicer car than a SS,it rides better 
Keep this to real cars,like the Camaro and Mustang. I know you're not clear on what makes a real car,being the owner of a Impreza,but try to keep up.oops,i didn't mean to be cruel I'll say it again,the Challenger is dead in 2 years,it's the new Mercury Marauder. |
My car is a POS. I don't like it, and if I had any choice I would have never been in the driver seat, so that's fair game. There's no love for my Impreza.
What I'm saying is that Ford has been aware of higher performance by the competition for over 2 years. Ford has yet to commit to a new motor for a car that is clearly below the SRT and SS platforms. Instead of going ahead with that amazing 5.0L that they have been preparing, they have build a plethora of appearance packages and special editions that cost more than a Corvette but perform no faster than a Mustang GT with an intake. I'm disappointed that Ford has decided that making great performance a standard is somehow not their style.
Let me point out the the reason Ford disappoints me so much is that I have high expectations of a company with so much heritage. When I think Ford Mustang, I think Cobras ad drag racers and really impressive pony cars. I'm also beginning to think of gimmick cars. There are too many special editions out there. I expect Ford to be as badass as it used to be. You, a Ford fan, have to be disappointed that Ford isn't really keeping up with Chevy like it should. I know it bothers me, and I don't have any real loyalty to the company.
