If the domestics build good cars the Amarican public will buy them if Ford GM and Chrysler continue to build poor cars don't blame the public for buying cars that are built better some were elce .The domestic car loyalty has gone far enough! We can't aford to buy over prices undependable cars US built cars.

The problem of using a turbo on the low line engines is the cost goes through the roof . There is no such thing as a cheep turbo even the ones they use on a snowmobile are at least $5000.00 extra . IF you add that to the cost of a low line mustang the price will be out of reach for most entry level buyers.

I agree : it may be a good time to read the operators manual the coast button works just fine for me as well . I think ford has the best cruse of any body they better not change it .

Wether a I 4 is a good idea depends on wether the car stays at 3600 pounds that is to heavy for a low power I 4. Mustang II and Fox with I 4 were under 3000 pounds . The reason Ford sells more mustangs than Chev and Dodge sell there pony cars is because the Mustang can be bought in a bread and butter series this is were all the numbers come from . I know a real car Guy don't want a I4 but if ford can make a profit selling the I 4 model then they chould make lots of them . There is no way that Ford should drop the V8 mustang or incorperate a japaniese chassies like they tryed with the probe . The probe is dead the mustang would be as well if it had went that way.

Ford has no clue how to build a small engine or a small car! People have different tasts around here then , because We don't even have a Mazda dealer but there are atleast 5 mazda 3 's for every focus sold here ! Our Ford Dealer won't even bring the Foces in any more because he can't sell them. The Focus looks like hell and get poor milage.

I Don't think ford and mazda ever did share there toys vary well, Mazda has one of the best small cars in the Mazda 3 yet all Ford has is the ugle un apealing Focus that they can't give to any one. Ford has beeen giving mazda there small pickup for ever and don't get any thing in return.

I would be satisfied with a new Ranger engine that gets good milage , the EPA numbers for A RANGER are real sad when a f 150 that weighs 2000 pounds more goes as far on a gallon of gas . I used to drive F-150's until they made them in to a 3/4 ton , I switched to a ranger but the milage is no better than a full size . I would like a old size f 150 back or a ranger that burns a lot less gas . My old F-150 was 4600 pounds the new ones are well over 6000. Come on Ford Were is the full size truck that don't weigh 6000 pounds, You have left the origanal F 150 buyers with out a truck .

There is obviously some thing wrong with the 4.0 v6 if it can't get better milage than a truck that weighs 2000 pounds more . Ford needs some redesigned engines poor milage is what put us in this pickle in the first place . If the V8 gets better milage then maybe that is the engine that should be in the Ranger! The F 150 is close to 6000 pounds and the Ranger is under 4000 pounds there milage shouldn't even be close.

Maybe you should get your figures straight When Paul Marten turned over power to the useless that is spending money like he is Santa clause! Canada was in better shape than it had been in 100 years . Canada would have been in a lot worse shape if it wasn't for Paul Marten having a surplus for harper to waste .lying Brian Milroney put us in worse financial shape than any Prime Minister in the history of Canada.

Little engines with big boost will work in a light car but the F150 is 6000 pounds . Even the 5.4 has trouble lugging the F150 around with a load .That sounds like a winner to me . Do you really think a little 4 will take the place of a big V8 . Bring back the Courier Japanese and gutless . In most cases a small over loaded engine will burn more gas than a larger engine. If you never pack any weight why do you need a full size pickup.

Now it just needs a real engine and ford will have a home run . It is BS that the Fords need to be blowen to have the same power as the GM cars , Ford has never been of balance by that much before , What is next a factory nitrous systom .

If Ford keeps trying with there ohc engines they may get it right . just like with the old push rod engine ford took the Y block ,MEL, FE , 90*v , 385 series before they final hit the jack pot with the Cleveland . When ford dropped the 302 90*v, Chevy seen Fords mistake and grabbed the ball and run with it . How many tries will it take for FORD to get a OHC engine to be worth the extra expense . We sure don't get our moneys worth on the triton engine. The reason they use the triton engine in a Ford is because it is to big to fit in a Kenworth.

Gays are wrong and it don't matter that they are the loudest it don't make them right ! It won't suprize me that this BS will be pushed down our throat . What ever happened to democracy the majority is supposed to rule! Not a loud mouth minority groupe that won't except no.

The purpose of a marriage is to have a family There is no way two guys can have kids so marriage is not a realistic thing . Adoption for Two guys or two wemon should never be considered because a child with out both a father and a mother figure is deprived of a proper up bringing. the reason we have problems with this is because the polititions don't have enough balls to make a mater of fact statment that they are wrong. prove to me that two guys can make kids and I will agree to your marriage.

The only two country's that don't have a protection law to keep the foreign companies out are Canada and the USA! There is no way that Americans own more of Toyota than the Japanese do japan has a law that states that manufacturers need to be at least 50.1% Japanese owned . We are the only ones that are willing to take it up aZZ and like it .
