I've always been a Ford man myself. Hopefully they will have something that appeals to me again by the time I am ready to transition to another vehicle.

Yea, what a load of BS. Guess T have to put my order in for the Turbo Charged YUGO. As Dianna Shore would sing, "See the USA in your Chevrolet." Colonel Kurtz had it right,"The Horror, The Horror"

Or you could get used what my other ride is. A MARAUDER. I've always been with Blue Oval. I switched with the G8 and totally love it.

I've always owned Ford's. I bought the G6 in 05 because ford didn't have the Fusion out yet. Then there was no going back when I saw the G8.

I've never had luck with Ford trucks. Killed the trans in the SD 350 I had twice before 100k it also leaked and burned oil since day one.

This is glaring spotlight on the problem with GM and why they are going out of business. They wouldn't know a product home run even if it was handed to them on a silver platter. In less than two model years, the G8 has blown into a market niche like a tornado. They have done it with very little advertising (compared to other models and badges) on a broken and dead division. It has support around the globe and their most storied model after the corvette uses many of the same cross over parts. If they can't figure out how to make money selling cars starting from that point, the executives need to be fired. :spank:

Someone had a very good idea that was recently posted. "Take all the dealerships scheduled to be closed, and reopen as Holden Dealers." This has my vote. If you can sell Hummer to China, Saturn to Penske, you can damn well give this line to your displaced dealers. You can even give your Buick Dealers the Park Ave version. With the right marketing I will bet my last cent that the Holden's will outsell everything else. The Lion Rules!!!!

The 2010 Lincoln MKS (Fancy Taurus SHO) with the turbo V6 looks evil!:boobs:
