Do you really believe all that Ford tells you? LOL! Just kidding, but seriously Ford is not going to say anything different at this time. Let me give you an example of how it works. Last month eBay announcement price increases in many areas. The eBay community went bonkers. eBay said they needed the increases to cover their expenses to keep eBay a competitive marketplace. Like who is really competing with them anyway? And just today I got an email stating that there was a "misunderstanding" on the part of the eBay community. eBay never intended to raise their general listing rates. Only their stores selling for 30,60,90,120 days would get increases. Man, what an absolute lie! They can't even admit that the overwhelming protest from the eBay community forced them to reconsider their greedy increase. So why would Ford executives be any more honest and up front with Joe Public.mattyice said:
The truth is that none of us know what is going on at Ford. They're losing money in sales. They need to gain a bigger market share. They also need to make some changes in their product mix. SVT sales certainly didn't help Ford overall. So Ford is going to have to make some difficult decisions very soon. And some of those decision might not be what we want to hear. So I don't think the '07 Cobra is a done deal by any stretch of the imagination. I do, though, see a bigger emphasis on performance products that will compete with the performance imports. And to products that appeal to a broader market. Might be that a car like the '07 Cobra just won't fit into Ford's plan for the near future. Whereas an '06 Shelby Cobra might because it would target a different buyer. These are just my thoughts based on what I hear and "feel" in today's economy. In another year we'll know for sure. In the meantime all we can do is hope. But please don't believe everything you hear from Ford in the magazines. Reminds me of the campaign promises that presidential candidates make. I won't even go there. LOL!
