old is new

does anybody else think that Ford should set tradition aside for awhile and start developing some new ideas?
new(old) stang, new (old) t-bird, new(old) gt-90(40), new(old) forty-nine, etc....

i'm a ford guy, but what are they doing with the truckloads of money they make off of us other than go through a dusty old closet of ideas with the goals of refreashing them and hiding under a word like "tradition"

every now and again it's kind of interesting to see what an old idea would look like if given current technological strides...BUT when that's all that happens, it's not good.

Just an observation from a fellow ford enthusiast.

I would like to see the new stuff as well... I also think they should keep some stuff from year to year (example: the pony grill, side scoops, etc...)

The miata started the roadster craze. pt cruiser (pt Looser) started the retro craze. It took of and Ford is trying to capitalize (Cash in on it). Money is the name of the game boys !

When Ford reinvented the Mustang last year they couldn't come up with anything better than a copy of the original.
