In my opinion, Saleen has gone away from their scope of business "power in the hands of a few". Saleen did the bodywork on the Ford GT, ie. shop in MI. So for us to say that Ford is steering away from Saleen might not be true, however I agree with you all that the quality control is not up to par with what this kind of customer demands. Also, I think the styling of the new body is bland.. then you see bumper numbers in the thousands. Saleen is obviously trying to grow the biz, but they have strayed from the original business plan. Another thing that gets me, is when you go in any Saleen dealership or on their website you don't get much for apparel. Saleen is without question a name that is recognizable to car enthousiasts, they should use Harley Davidson as an example of excellent Marketing. If you go to a Ford dealership who sells Roush, at least you can buy a t-shirt and accessories to go with your investment. To say our cars won't be worth any money in the future is a HUGE stretch...They are limited production/ documented cars that are famous. If Saleen has to go Chhhh chhhh chhhevy, that would limit the Mustangs even more. Compare values of Roush to Saleen, Saleen will take the cake all day everyday.
