Replying to: heyjewel (Feb 27, 2007 7:37 pm) They figure most car buyers have the IQ of a stick   GM has proven that for decades now....as in:   "First ever G6". (Ya think?- Next version is second ever?) "All new trucks" in 1989. Well, yeah, if you don't count the motor, transmission, rear end and the frame. 1995 - "GM is putting quality on the road"....Really......well, that worked out, didn't it?   So, why shouldn't Ford assume the same? Heaven knows, they've perpetrated some of the same.   What is BON and how can I access it? Replies to this message: heyjewel (Feb 28, 2007 9:46 pm)

Lots of stuff Ford there and discussion forums as well. many of the posters are FOrd employees.   Yeah, I hear ya about GM. Never liked their products, ever. Did buy a 97 Tahoe though and that was a tough truck. It saved my bacon once. That's the sum total of my GMs.   BTW, new MT compares the new Tundra with the Silverado and picks the Chevy. One bit of good news on the American car front. Though it's interesting that they picked it mainly for 'value' as the Toyota is way overpriced. Funny, the Chevy probably costs a lot more to build, thanks UAW, yet is priced about $5000 less. Who's screwing who here now? Oh, and the Toyota has like a kids' toy-looking dashboard. The Chevy is 1000% better. But the toy is faster. But the Checvy gets better mpg. They both stop at 133ft from 60mph. That's like 2 car lengths quicker than the Edge or emm kay exx, Fords' newest gifts to ambulance chasers.

Replying to: barnstormer64 (Mar 01, 2007 4:50 pm) About as boring as any of the other "competitors"   About everyone on this forum will tell you that 300/charger/GrandPrix/ Maxima aren't boring. Lucerne and Avalon aren't bad looking either-ten times better looking than 500. Is the 500 a bad looking car? No. Is it a good looking car? No. Here's my scale:                  ugly nothing Beautiful                  -10 ... 0 ... 10 500 and freestyle get 0's. THey have no style. Montego get's a 2. It looks a little nice. Mercury gives it some nice touches. But there is no perk that makes me want this car. it has no pickup. Backseat is awesome but so is 300/Charger. Trunk is awesome, but charger/ Avalon/ Impala's aren't bad either. Ford just has a bland inexpensive car hear. (300's don't cost that much either...)

Replying to: albook (Mar 01, 2007 7:53 pm) And using that analogy, 300 is a -8, Camry and Avalon are 0, the new model maybe a 1. Parked next to an '05 Camry in my '05 Freestyle, and suddenly saw exactly what Ford was doing on the syle, copying the best selling car as far as looks went. And the '07 restyle is less inovative than the minor changes we see on the '08 Taurus. The content changes (options, engine, etc.) seem much more significant than anything I saw on the Toyota "Restyle". Oh, and the Maxima and Pontiac aren't boring? Maybe fugly?
