    tungsten looks a little purple-ish

    From some angles on really blue sky days, my tungsten 07 GT looks ...well....periwinkle if we go by crayola colors. WTF Ford!?! I thought it would be more of a warm gray. a few people have commented on it being purple, including a body shop guy...

    thoughts on dealer upgrades/upsell at time of purchase

    lo jack I had lojack on one of my cars about 10 years ago after hearing it advertised relentlessly on howard stern's show. I got a tiny discount on insurance, but by the time I had the car paid off, it was a POS and I was praying someone would steal it, then i remembered about lojack and if...

    ford come back

    Listen guys - for the record - If you read my posts in this thread (yes all 3 of them) I bash management just as much as unions.

    ford come back

    Solutions (AKA - My rant): reduce number of offerings and eliminate redundancies. too many types of vehicles saturate the marketplace. make fewer types of vehicles and make them well. example - why have a lincoln navigator AND a ford expidition? it's all the same company. make one, make it...

    ford come back

    problems for all US automakers: unions choking industry. management too slow to adapt and react to marketplace due to bloated upper mangement. decisions are made at glacial speed. public perception: japs making more reliable cars. germans are better engineers. my personal take on it: many...
