So, I'm thinking about the next car I will buy around 2009 or 2010. I'd like to buy something that is sporty, but gets good gas mileage, and carries the FORD nameplate. So, what do I buy? Mazda MX-5 comes to mind.
Get a Saturn Sky, those are freakin sweet looking. Who cares if its not a Ford at least its domestic.

That's still quite a bit away to be picking a model now
WHo knows, they might have flying cars by then
Word! I like the Pontiac Solstice GXP, but why doesn't Ford do something like that? I guess because they don't own Opel.
I don't know...the Sky/Solstice is dang near as big as a Mustang, costs more than a V-6 Mustang 'vert and only gets a mile or two per gallon better mileage...
I don't see how anyone could make a business case for Ford to build something else that's so near in specs to something they already make...
With all the sucess that the Sky and Solstice are having I think that if Ford put out a flashy looking roadster it would sell. Especially if they put out something with decent performance and put the Shelby name on it.
The Mustang is also 30 inches longer, 3 inches wider, 5 inches taller, and 500lbs heavier. But yeah they are close to the same size
**** anything with a shelby badge on it, it instantly adds a 20k+ markup.
ya OK...whatever...you've never seen one parked next to a Mustang then right?
and never looked at real prices at the dealers either
still wouldn't make business sense for Ford to make something like that with the Mustang in the lineup
Maybe, but people are paying it so why not?
