Sorry, but no matter how you twist it, it makes Ford look bad when they are charging this kinda coin for this car they was said to be the benchmark in the category months ago.

You do have a point.

I imagine Ford will see all of these cars go unsold as all the potential buyers pick up 488's instead.
