And the Charger has returned. Twice. But the pony cars had a broader appeal because they weren't so 1 dimensional. They were still fast, and some had monster motors too. But when power numbers fell like a rock in the early 70's the Camaro still had some fun to offer buyers. The Chevelle didn't, so they morphed it back into a family hauler (the Malibu)

They are losing as much money as everyone else, they just happened to mortgage all of their assets prior to the credit market tightening, and are not in such a bind for cash. But credit them on seeing what others did'nt see ahead of time and knowing when to borrow the money. No disrespect to the mustang, but I question the strategy, most sports car buyers really don't want their car to be associated with a scrunchie for a 12 year old girl...

This is not the case. Ford is losing money, but they are losing less money overall than several competitors....including GM...and significantly more of that 'lost' money is going into future programs intended to produce a profit than at other brands. For example, right now investors believe that GM's biggest monetary drain is still coming from money losing product already on the market, on the other hand they suspect a larger percentage of the money being 'lost' at Ford is coming from romising programs like Ecoboost and getting more appropriate cars to market. See the difference?

I do suspect that the braoder appeal of the Mustang turns off folks in certain segments, most likely this includes people who have a wardrobe consisting primarily of muscle shirts and who still wear a rat tail. To be honest, I would prefer those folks stick to other outlets for their automotive entertainment and leave the Mustang be. |

True, but I can't count the number of people I've talked to that deny the female-aimed marketing, saying, "no way! The Mustang's a guy's car if there ever were one!"

Exactly. Those girls are going to want to have a car that matches their purse right?
