Corvette's been on sale for longer and sold more units.

Which one puts sales over performance? I'd have to say from a business standpoint that the Mustang has been known to be at the back of the pack in performance while leading in sales. It might be a good platform for doing business, but it is a shame that its the only sports car out there to fail in the sports category time after time. It's funny how good marketing can make even the failure of the herd a winner.

I respect Ford for doing good business, but I wish their cars were equally good cars.

yeah and maybe thats why GM is in the shit that its in. seems to me that Ford is just kinda sitting back and watching everyone go down around them right now. And Fords cars are just as good. Early 2000's GM cars all looked like shit accepr for Suburbans.

Last time I checked, Corvette was a sports car. And I do believe you said sports car.

Ford mortgaged the entire company to avoid having to take out loans. They're not out of the deep yet. If the US market doesn't crack 10.5 million units, Ford already said they'll need loans.

You might be right, but I'd rather drive a GM car that outperforms than a Ford car with prettier billboards.

ok honestly. who cares about performance numbers when its not a pony or a vette? the only performace numbers you should care about for a sedan are gas mileage and maybe emissions. for my family car i could give a shit less how much power it has as long as it last me a long time and gets me good MPG.

i only care about power if i drive a truck or sports car.

so when it comes to family cars or suv's. looks are a big deal.

Seriously though the new body panels help that Mustang out a huge amount. Giving it hips, and a more aggressive front rake along with a bulged hood made that sucker looks light years better. I will interested to see what this famed direct injection 5.0 liter is going to put out.
The camaro looks nicer But I hate to say it ford has GM beat on technology. THe nav system with the advanced sync is incredible. You can do spit screen, half nav, and even view live traffic, or even a map of your area and a weather radar. Watch DVDs when not in gear, Voice command it like nothing else. ITs lightyears ahead of the camaro. now power. Um sorry. GM hands down.

never said not struggling. EVERYONE is struggling. but at least they are not at the brink of destruction (being GOV. owned is destruction).

do you guys really trust the GOV to produce cars you will love? no they will come out with ugly things and the only thing good about them will be the MPG.
