Emailed Ford
Long standing theme with me.
Quote:
I wish Ford would build a two seater sports car to go up against the Corvette. I've been a lover of Vettes for a long time and have my own. Their history is truly great. But . .
I'm 35 years old. I make a decent middle class income and can begin to entertain such a brand new car.
Unfortunately for GM I will NOT buy from them. As far as I'm concerned they betrayed the American ideal of what a company should be, and Ford did not. I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Ford could revive the Thunderbird moniker as it was originally intended or come up with something new.
How about something like a front mid-engine Coyote based platform around 3,000lbs (less is more). Base could be NA, high end could be turbo charged. Prices in the range of $50k-$100k+. Build for the world including RHD, consider Ford's existing European cache, and don't skimp on interior.
I would pay. So would others. Corvette is profitable for GM, but their demographic is old. Go for it.

The Boss 302 gets announced Friday it looks like and the word is it'll be pretty damn cool. Maybe that will hold you over.

Yeah, it's that serious. 
Plus, Ford has been killing it on quality for a while now.

I guess it is because I have been raised around Chevy my whole life. My second vehicle would have been a Lightning ask Sean he should remember. But my Mom wouldnt let me buy a Ford. She said "Your not really going to buy a Ford are you."

That's when you say, "Yes mom, I'm not a socialist."

Ford does have a two seater sports car to go up against the Corvette. It's called the Cobra, and it comes with an extra rear seat that is just for show. Like a Camaro. Remove it to make room for your rollcage. Voila, two seater.

I would rather buy a car from a company that betrayed the American work ethic than a company that wrote the "let em burn letter." But then again, I have no such ethical sense and I will buy a car from anyone, as long as it is pretty and fast.
