Most of them, yes...  but not the new one.


I must admit that the new Mustang is a dynamite car with great 
performance and knockout looks and it doesn't cost much.  And even 
the cheapo base model looks good and is a pretty good runner.   Ford 
has a winner on their hands.

I still await GMs answer...   Chrysler as well.   Both of them seem 
to have dropped the ball here while Ford has popped in with this new 
Mustang which seems to be everywhere; can't cross the street without 
tripping over one.



What ever happened to those recommendations that  Bob Lutz made to 
GM?      And as far as Chrysler is concerned, I remain disappointed 
and dismayed at the styling flops they keep kicking out.    Both 
these manufacturers really need to rethink their path.   Japan is out 
to get the two of them and they don't seem to notice.    Lee 
Iacocca's words from ten years ago still ring in the back of my head, 
regarding the Japanese assault on US car makers.    And Toyota, one 
of the sneakiest of the bunch, is leading the charge.

Meanwhile, Ford keeps selling Mustangs...


Still, the Vairs here all continue to say:


"We're paid for."

"If we break, which seldom happens, we can be fixed in the driveway."

"I get gas mileage better than that new Mustang, easy."

"I was built back when people in Michigan still cared about what kind 
of car they built."


No new Mustang in this driveway, but if I was in the market to buy 
something new I'd sure be down at the Ford dealer checking out a 
Mustang GT, blue, maybe with some white stripes...

However, the Vairs would  likely balk at this behavior and kill me in 
my sleep.
