2010 Mustang

You know Harold, you are right. J.Mays and his pompous self righteous monolithic design philosophy really does need to be retired. While the rest of the world is serving up hot fudge sundaes and banana splits, he is dishing out scoops of vanilla ice cream. The Ford lineup, for the most part is boring and uninspired. Ford needs some new blood in the design studio. People not afraid to take a few risks. Guys who want to have their designs stand out in a crowd, not blend in. Designs that scream love me or hate me, but you can’t ignore me. I have never understood why Ford, as a company never really understood that it doesn’t cost anymore to make their cars beautiful.

Every now and then they get it right like the current Mustang, but over all, the Taurus, past and present, 500, Fusion, Freestyle, Windstar, Crown Vic, Explorer, Excursion, Escape’ Edge and Expedition, just to name a few, are boring flat sided vehicles that are incapable of stirring any physical reaction other than sleep. They should be creating strong emotional bonds with the customer.

Ford is in better financial standing than the other two Detroit manufacturers, but without some exciting new and innovative product, the imports, with their greater market share and deeper pockets will roll over them before too long. Exciting and unique designs will get attention and then they have a fighting chance to regain their status. With J. Mays continuing at the design helm, I fear Ford will run aground in no time.

I agree, Ford is in by far the best shape out of the three, thanks too there European cars. Ford has some good product coming. The all new Fiesta coming around toward the end next year

The 2010 Fusion hybrid

And it was a V6 model w/Bullitt rims. Arguably the best looking of them all. Grille/fascia remarkably similar to current GT500.

Problem is, they nailed the look so solidly the first time out, anything that follows (meaning this one) suffers from a distinct disadvantage.

Next re-skin needs to be a stem to stern new design, and not play off of the strengths of its predecessor. Each time out, it gets diluted, me thinks.

All that said, I would rather wait until I can actually ding one with a grocery cart to decide if it love the looks or not. Photos are only so good. You have to be standing next to it.

Sooooo...kind of like NAS....nevermind

Oh they derived the taillights from an early 90's Celica.

Look at that Italina one?? since you guys wanna talk about redesign, talk about redesign!

Just like what Terry said, we need more of the European styling becuase they got some nice cars, look at the Euro spec Focus ST, compared to ours, ours is bland, bleh and plain, the euro one is sporty, wide, low, and that engine! But it's like everything, other then the Vette and some of the pony cars and the ones of the 50's and 60's Europe always had the better styling and better cars all around, look at the Escort for crying out loud, I want someone to say to me, seriously, how ours is better then the Euro ones!!

Also it's like the cars of today are so jellybean, back in the day, you could spot an XKE or a TR3 going down the road, and if you want to be one of those that say, well, those cars are uncommon on the road so of course you are going to spot them out, NO, even back then they were unmistakable. "American made" vehicles don't exist anymore. cars more on the article, http://classicmotorsports.net/forum/classi...gly/3720/page1/ I like the post where KaptKaos compared the 575 to the 650i

overall its not bad. of course it has a few things that are so-so but overall its pretty neat, but if it delivers the goods under the hood is what gear heads are waiting for! the new big cube modular engine. with proposed 302, 351, 427, 429, 460, and larger cubes. this engine is already being ran as a 428ci motor in outlaw stock. now if the rumors of the Boss 302/429 comes true then it will be very nice indeed
