so blunt

 

I would get the mustang anyway. And keep the xB. One stylish box car and one fast coupe. I don't know about that one. I never really liked mustangs. My cuzn is getting one soon. Don't ask me for an opinion on either cuz I ain't so sure. The customized stangs look sexy. Pics would help u sell it if u decide to. If u get a stang what color would u get?

 

please direct me to your money tree.. I'll only harvest a little.

 

just do it if you want

 

I'd get a black one and there are pics of my xb on here http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/526042

 

are any of the pics above the stock color with added stuff?

 

god all those show stangs look awesome. those new stangs have potential but stylewise and power wise.

 

I agree, I would love one, if they wern't going to be every other car on the road

 

Sorry but my tree is only giving 1 dollar bills right now. And money is falling off slowly. Maybe I could harvest 20 dollars off of yours.

 

None.

I prefer to base my opinion of them on the experiences of the hundred of thousands of Ford owners who are surveyed and market research rather than a guy who owned 4 cars.

100,000's of Ford owners > one guys anecdotal evidence.

Ford's quality problems aren't open for debate dude. It's common knowledge. Sorry.

I'm not saying everything they build is crap, but if Toyota or Honda made a car that had half as many recalls and problems as the Ford Focus did in it's first 3 years, the CEO would commit suicide from sheer humilation.

I wouldn't say NEVER buy a Ford. I would say, don't buy a new model Ford in it's first year and no matter what Ford you buy, don't expect Toyota reliablity.

 

If you like anecdotal evidence, my parents owned two Ford Explorers (first gen) and had plenty of trouble. From the laughable push-button 4wd system that worked 1 time out of 3, to the poor fit and finish and retarded ergonomic design and dodgy handling I could not have been less impressed with that piece of crap.

I will say I think the new Mustang is beautiful though, the Focus is also a good car once you get through the quality issues and hideous interior. Probably the best American small car in years.

I might not mind a new Mustang, if I were a sports car type guy, but I would want to wait until *at least* year two of production before I'd consider it.

Anyone want to place bets on how long it takes the new Mustang to be recalled?

 

I'm starting to see them. I see more new stangs than xB's But here's the sad part. Most of these stang drivers drive SLOW! It's like driving a WRX STi and not using it's full potential. The only car I would like to see driving under the speed limit is the Lambo, Ferrari, Lotus and ofcourse the xB (slow by design :D )

Speaking of Ford, I worked with this guy who has the previous gen Mustang. His mustang had 4-engine/tranny warranty work within the first 25K miles. Here is the ironic part: When his stang is in the shop, he drives a late 80's 4-door Corolla! Probably has over 200K miles on it.

 

Just curious....Did you trade it in at the same dealer? I am having that problem now..>I need to get rid of the car, and I dont want to trade it in and loose my butt on it!!

Thx-

whats with all yall,why are you selling the scion?

 

Man, those fastback style vents in the rear quarter windows in just what that car needs. That makes it perfect. That was the only lame part of the car before (well beside the big blue oval-hahaha) I can't believe how much I like that car considering how much I hate all fords, especially the mustang. Still after working directly for Ford Motor company, in quality control and seeing how poor it is and how little they really care, you could never again in this lifetime get me to put my hard earned money down on a Ford. When I worked for them is went I went German, and havn't owned a Ford since- nor will I ever again.
