I agree about the 427, but what about that slab-sided Lincoln that harkened back to the classic 60's Continental? Another missed opportunity. And lets talk about a Ford Ranger that is practically 25 years old. Ugh! The market needs a small truck. Better alignment of their products around the world should help. I see some of these European and Australian offerings and I wonder what's up with the North American market?
In the final analysis, until the quality and reliability are equal to Toyota or Honda, looks and performance can't save any U.S. auto manufacturer. My 81 Lynx died with 30K on it when the timing belt broke and killed the engine. My 86 Ranger lost its transmission at 100K, at a cost of $2K to replace. Now, why am I supposed to buy these cars???
