Great Scott!  Could FORD have made that Shelby Mustang any UGLIER?  Yikes!  What a NIGHTMARE!  They outta FIRE the guys that designed that monstrosity and especially the BOZOs who approved it!  With all the incrdible CONCEPT car Designers out there... WHY would they ever THINK such an UGLY design like THAT would even sell???

 

AFter getting all of our TAX Dollars... FORD better wise up and send some Scouts & Recruiters to Art Center College of Design... the #1 Automotive Design School in the World ~ The place where BMW is fishing for Talent... 'cuz it sure as hell ain't in Detroit!

in2Art-n-Film,  I think you should read a news article before posting.  Ford didn't receive our TAX dollars, GM and Chrysler did however.  I for one like the more aggressive Mustang/Shelby design.  Thank god it doesn't look like every other plastic import driving around.  I think Ford is doing just fine.  Now GM on the other hand...  Maybe they should quit copying Australia's Holden division and breath some new life into the market.  How long have we been waiting for the 'new' Camaro?  Maybe that's why they copy Holden...  At this rate, we'll never get a Mustang/Challenger/Camaro Trans-Am racing series!

ruester, I personaly dont care about a racing series.  GM, Ford, and Chrysler need to concentrate on building cars people will buy, not cars they can race.  There is not a big market for muscle cars these days.

I am hoping that those companies that received government money didn't use any of it to w ho re thier wares at this autoshow. Not that I am 100% against this type of thing, but I am sure each had to shell out a pretty penny for the opportunity to show off the last ditch efforts in car design to feel out whether we will bite or not.

On that note, me being a Toyota guy, look at the Pirus and the Insight... hmmmm. Look an aweful lot alike.

in2art-n-Film,the blue and red mustang is ugly,but those are color option's. You can get choose better color's and get  a nice looking car. The Toyota Prius,Honda Insight,Kia Soulster,and Mazda 3 on the other hand are inherently ugly as sin. You could put 4 tires on vomit and it woulld look better than a Prius,Insight,Soulster,or Mazda 3.

GM, CHRYSLER, FORD,  should all fire their designers and especially the person who picks that burgundy color.  Its too bad, id like to support america but there isn't one car from any of these manufacturers that i would buy.

 

Bently, Lambos really?

in2art - I loved the Mustang, always have.  Some of us appreciate the nostalgia of the old days!  I am also impressed with the 2010 Taurus.  Sleek and sporty looking like an American made car should look like.  I not only want to drive American, I want it to look American so every single person who sees my car knows I'm supporting American made cars.  Ford is above and beyond Toyota and Honda.  They have the Fusion that beats the Camry and Accord and they will continue to improve.  We as Americans need to see this and see it fast!  Those of you who drive Toyota and Honda feel you are supporting America because there is a factory in American building them are dead wrong.  Yes, a paycheck is going to an American worker but the profits are going overseas.  The profits need to stay here along with the paychecks.  Get rid of the UAW and let Ford/GM/Chrysler get back in the game and continue to support this country.

CTSHOPPER READ THIS>>>

Have an of you looked under the hoods of your "American" autos? Please do this and see how many parts say "Made in Japan/Mexico/Canada/Taiwan/China/Korea/etc." Roughly 85% of "American" vehicles are made overseas and just assembled here or Mexico or Canada. Those of you who are bashing Japanese automakers, I have a Toyota Tundra built in TEXAS employing AMERICANS, as many Japanese companies are doing because it costs them less to build here than to ship here. A good 75 to 85% of their parts are also made here in the U.S..... So my question to you is, who is REALLY supporting American workers, Ford, GM, Chrysler, who assemble here but outsource to other countries for their parts , spending their profits by having to ship 95% of their parts in from other countries, therefore sending their "profits" overseas? [BTW Ford owns Mazda, and GM still owns a large share of Suzuki (remember the GEO's?)] Or Japanese owned auto makers who build everything here, and keep their money here.

 

American Made now only means assembled. True American made autos have not been around since the late 1960's to early 70's... please, get real!

More penis cars from  the juvenile minds at Fantasy Island. Why must  new car paint jobs always  be extra shiney? If I painted my house in metalflake champagne, or grand  banana yellow, the neighborhood association would send around  the armed predator drones and leave a greasy spot in my driveway. 

 

How about a satin finished body that won't  ever rust or show swirl marks,  and doesn't require polarized sunglasses to gaze upon?  You could call it  the Eddie Bauer  Serengeti  Special and charge an extra  two grand for squint proofing. 

 

Is it just failing memory or did Japanese cars exported to California  in the 70's get  35 to 40 mpg and not make a really  big deal out of it?

 

Half a life time later and Ford, Chevy & Chrysler openly brag  to our ill informed youth about how many of their fat ass rigs get a whopping 30 mpg. 

 

These guys refuse to get it.  Freedom of the Road means freedom from budget breaking expenses.   I see these cars and want to e-mail my son:   Step away from the money pit. Get a Prius and a six thousand dollar titanium mountain bike and a small catamaran for you recreational dollars instead of a Cadillac Big Butt Crossover.

 

Decision makers at Detroit suck.
