Sorry Chris, just used the T-bird as an example of what can be done, and done nicely. It's not a bad looking car, even if ford did build it. I'm thinking the reason it's going out is because of price, right?
IMO, none of the auto manufacturers are doing anything right, not for the most part. Every dang car they build looks exactly the same as any other, well except for the Aztec syles. Who wants to drive a damn piece of plastic? Not me. It's all about emissions and fuel mileage. They have to make them meet federal specs and the only way to do it is by using unibodies, and plastic.
GM went in the wrong direction several years back and are trying to climb back up. But, they are not doing a very good job at it. They have no one, and I mean no one, who can design a car or truck anymore. The only reason folks buy these pieces of crap is because a great many like to drive new cars and will buy one every 3, 4, or 5 years. They have no other choice but to buy this crap if they want to drive a new vehicle.
It's not a matter of what we want. It's a matter of what GM wants, and to me it seems it's all about making money off of under powered, ugly as hell, pieces of junk. This is what's wrong today, it's all about what the bean counters think, not what the public wants. I for one refuse to play into their hands anymore. I'm not buying any of these so called sports vehicles. I don't like them and will not give them my hard earned money for it. At least not until they do something right, and I don't see this happening anytime soon.
Mike
