[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 3743018, member: 6727"] Personally I don't think negative comments about the GT500 have a great deal to do with people not being able to afford it. If you take away the expected dealer markups (initially), most who could afford a Terminator back in 2003/2004 should be able to afford the GT500. And there is always the lease option to lower their payments. I think the main reason we're seeing the comments are over its controversial styling and the fact that it is "new". And the new kid on the block often gets shunned by the neighborhood regulars. LOL! And, not everyone likes retro. I personally do not like the car's styling from the factory, but saw a Saleen version up close and liked it. But no matter what you do with it on the exterior, it just looks too big and it's grossly overweight. All of this is enough to get folks talking crap about it. LOL! I will say, though, that even if you don't like the styling or the weight issue, continually talking crap about it is wrong. Would we rather have seen no GT500 or other Cobra replacement? Or what if Ford killed the Mustang althogether? Would people be happy then? On the contrary, a new product (GT500) is good for Ford, and good for the performance consumer. And now we have the new Camaro coming out, followed by the Challenger. So get ready for the smack/crap talk about those two cars when the time comes. Can you say Mustang/Camaro/Challenger pony car wars all over again? :rockon: Dgussin1, congrats on ordering your GT500. We can be assured that you'll do us proud by showing what the car's potential is. You'd better keep us informed! And maybe convert a few of us. ;-) [/QUOTE]
