no thanks.
As far as chevy, the vette is the only thing going for them.
They did it right with the Lighting, It sucks to see SVT go.
My truck is almost 6 years old now and I still get the .." hey
man cool truck".

Do you think Ford is just going to let GM and Chrysler make all
the money on performance vehicle. Something has got to be
up there sleeve or there just nuts.
In a post above it was said this could be a transitional period,,,,
"SVO", "SVT" etc. What Next??
It's all about money, are they going to let all the other companies make money in this area and do nothing.

Dodge knows this very well with their huge campaign on the Hemi. They have the SRT models and now they come out with the Charger etc.
There is a huge market for performance and those in that market, like you and I, could care less about fuel economy, and Dodge knows that as well. For whatever reason, in my opinion, Ford could not compete with Dodge and the other performance markets and tucked their tails between their legs and ran off.
soap said:I am not saying there is no market for performance, but it is a fraction of the big picture. Take a second and try to compare the total vehicle sales across the US. Why do you think SUV and truck sales are down over the past year........fuel economy.
I know that I do not care about fuel economy.......but 95% of the people in my subdivison do.

Umm, no. Add me to that also. The Jeep and Trailblazer are SUVs and I don't really have any use for them. I'm SUV'd out. The 300 is butt ugly, just like the charger, 400 hp or no. With the same designer I guess it would be. Z06? Sure, but I can't get into it so why bother having one?cyntaxx said:Umm, 400+ hp Chrysler 300's, SRT-8 Jeep's, the Trailblazer SS, and the new Z06? No thanks? That must just be you.
