Here's the thing that's killing Ford the way I see it. The package availability is ridiculous. If I want sat/nav I have to get a Premium with leather. I hate "leather" seats in a car. And yes I've owned higher end cars with real leather and I hate that as much as the fake stuff. Also, killing any option packages on base models AND removing the option packages for auto trans cars. I should be able to get any wheels I want if I need a manual OR auto trans.
Used to be, I could walk in a dealership and go down the list and get only the options I wanted on the car. Being forced into options I really don't care for to get others I want is just plain stupid. And some of the packages are very misleading (
Brembo brakes on the front only, while Camaro gets all 4 standard).
I'm a Ford Die hard. I own a 99 stang, 04 Expedition, 06 Focus, and will be taking delivery of my 11 stang this coming week. But Ford is really screwing things up with these packages that make no sense at all. It brought me this close || to looking at Challengers.
