I am also a little leery of this game plan but I suppose Ford has sales records of all their models and chose to proceed with this decision for good reason. The Mustang has been good to them and us for over 50 years! Glad they chose to stay with that! I hope "Ford Performance" stays strong thru this transformation.I sure hope this does not come back and bite them in the ass!
Who doesn't.. Is the GT on their don't need anymore list??? Why was it we had so many options to buy cars long ago and now those options are fastly disappearing....makes, models, entire car lines (Plymouth, Oldsmobile, Pontiac,Mercury, to name a few)...??? It's getting to where if you want a vehicle with 4 wheels and an engine...get in line.Edit: I rememebered I do need a GT.
I’m on our 3 rd Fusion a 16 ecobost AWD. I leased this one and was getting ready to get the Sport Fusion. Technically this is my wife’s car. 2 months ago my ford dealer said I won’t get a good deal on our Fusion because there are so many out there. I see so many around here just like WinterSucks..I don’t know what to do now.
WinterSucks what part of the south shore are you from? I grew up in Stoughton...
If that's the article that goes into vehicle footprint size, that by itself does not justify the sit-up-tall heights of SUVs (and to a lesser extent, CUVs), as it only looks at the plan view as an indication of vehicle size. On the other hand, maybe the mfrs managed to game the system to make it easier to offer more of those big bulky (and more profitable) vehicles.For those with a WSJ sub this is a good article. For those that don't the writer Dan Neil speculates it's a way to reduce their exposure to CAFE standards for sedans as SUV's aren't as stringent.
