How do you come to that conclusion? Sales for their most recongizeable car are through the roof, and you think they're f'ed?

They can't keep the car on the lots because they're selling left and right.

Sounds pretty successful to me.




MUSTANG GT... NOT MUSTANG V6.. this is abotu peopel NOT being able to get a Mustang GT.

I don't remeber saying ANYTHING about sales either, I'm talking about catching up with demand. 90% of people who WANT to buy a Mustang GT CAN NOT buy a mustnag GT right now. Ford screwed up on this part and HAS cost them.. GTO is seeing bigger sales.... true, they are turning people away from the V8 gas guzzler and putting their customers in V6's with flashy rims, grille inserts, rear bumper replicas with dual exhaust to amke it LOOK liek a GT. I'd say Ford DID mess up and that they are [censored] right now until this situation clears and everything catches up with everyone. Not sure if I have EVER talked to someone who knows ANYTHING abotu the car industry that has ever disagreed with this matter.



Ford is most definately not screwed over this. Yes it does frustrate some customers because they can't get the particular car they want as quickly as they want; but that is the way it works for new models that are in high demand.
Is it true that Ford marketing misjudged the pent up demand for the V8 cars? yeah, probably, but the split is accurate for the time when the demand curve settles out.

In regards to GTO having bigger sales? You are kidding right? I should ban you for a statement that retarded. The Holden plant that builds the GTO isn't capable of delivering more than 20k units per year to the US; while Mustang sales for 2005 will fall just shy of nearly TEN TIMES that amount.

Chad, you need stop with the half-cocked statements and blatant fabrications; it is ruining your credibility.

Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net
