I feel your pain,,,,regarding Ford,,,I dunno,,,they could be or not listening,,,the problem is that they cater to the uninformed ignorant people who dont really care about certain things. For example the focus groups,,,I think that they are really scary (is that why the Taurus's previous generation was so funky ugly?), they cater to them, because they are the ones buying in great numbers, so I cant fault them for that...BUT, that doesnt prevent them from catering to US, people who care about serious driving, not cruising in a straight line.
I dont understand how someone can go from a Contour's suspension setup (which i think is awesome), to a Mustang,,,It rides like crap...but it has HP,,so that is the message Ford gets....I wouldnt care if the Cobra had 500 HP, if the interir is ugly as always, I wouldnt buy it. I guess its the muscle car's fault,,they spoiled people into being single minded about HP, and not a well rounded package..
