Default Re: 2006 auto show... Camaro, Challenger are back...

The Mustang survives partially on the enthusiast crowd. If not for the enthusiasts, the Mustang would have been a front wheel drive 4 banger in 1989 (Probe).

Quite frankly, marketing may be easier with a good looking car, but if your lineup frequently changes names because the old car has created such an ominous name for itself that people won't even consider buying it, mere looks alone will not sustain excitement. i.e. I'm in the market for a new car at this very moment, and I can't bring myself to consider the Mustang.

I sold my 2002 GT at 17k, just after the transmission was repaired because the 3rd gear syncros failed. I was the original owner and I babied that car from 26mi on up. Problems started developing well before 10,000 miles. Compared to my 88GT, 87GT or even my 2 - 88 LX's, the 02 was a pile.
