2010 Taurus Vs LX Mustang

  • Sponsors (?)


^^^ I believe ive made more posts of positive ford reviews then negative. Ive only made negative comments when im called out like alot of posts. The GXP has been talked about in other threads on here, the one that got locked because of the fight between you and sarge. I made the GXP post because I made a comment earlier about a 41k dollar taurus. Its a 1/4 mile GXP run !!! Why the hell are ppl so defensive on this freakin site. Does that run in anyway diss you or anyone else. I mean it seems that most of the ppl on here agree the 41k price tag is way to hefty for the Taurus nameplate.

All I was doing was making a post to pretty much say, if im spending 41k, then heres the reason. Ive stopped posting non 2010 mustang threads after the earlier comments. This thread is a previous thread that ppl are still commenting on. And yes, the GXP was mentioned by me. I just thought the 1/4 mile time just backed up my reasoning. To say the G8 isnt a legitamate competiter is wrong I think, GM has a on again off again attitude, and the recent news is that the Chevy Caprice "AKA Pontiac G8" is On again. So it just may remain a competitor.

GM official news on the G8: For those who care

The Pontiac G8 is one of the most successful cars General Motors has built in years. It's a hit with the automotive press - it's been the top muscle car in our rankings, which consider the collective opinion of auto reviewers - for months now. But, with the imminent death of the Pontiac brand at the end of 2009, the G8 was scheduled to die after just two model years.

Was.

GM Vice President Bob Lutz tells Automobile Magazine that the G8 will live on as a Chevrolet.

In an interview in which he announced the cancellation of his own retirement plans, Lutz told Automobile that the G8 will "find its way into Chevrolet showrooms under the Caprice name." Lutz added, "It is kind of too good to waste."

Jalopnik notes, "CEO Fritz Henderson has repeatedly denied that the G8 would survive as part of another brand, saying he's ‘not a fan of rebadging.' But Lutz, citing export agreements with Australia and the fact that the Holden Commodore is already sold in many countries as a Chevrolet, assured Automobile GM would not let the car die."

Autoblog comments, "This also makes us wonder if law enforcement-grade models will be part of the deal with Holden to continue production. Chevy Caprice police cars? That's got a very familiar ring to it."

The G8 is dead. Bob Lutz retracted his statement.

Nobody called you out, and nobody is being defensive. I made an observation, and its one that many other members of this forum have also made and commented on.

I love the G8, and it's arguably the best car that GM has ever built IMO, but nobody was discussing it. Perhaps a "GXP Vs. SHO" thread is in order...

Maybe, but on a different forum.
