May 2007 'Big 3' Vehicle Sales Preview

The Primary reason Ford isn't doing well is that they have forgotten how to build a stylish car !
Everyone old enough can remember the introduction of the 57 Ford,...Simply gorgeous and a short time later the 60 Ford,...followed by the 64 Mustang, those were cars that you would sell your wife to get the money to buy one !! Today, they are so obsessed by aerodynamics that all cars look the same.
Another huge mistake that Ford made was to come out with the present retro Thunderbird. It's generally a good looking car, but if you look at the history of Fords most succesful cars, it was the 4 passenger 58 Thunderbird that made sales sky rocket ! The market if full of used 2 passenger sporty cars on used car lots, but a 4 passenger T-bird would have made all the difference in the world. All of todays cars, by most manufacturers look like Toyota Camrys !! Give us a break Ford and make a stylish 4 passenger luxury smaller car ! The bigger you make them, the harder to sell. Think more like BMW !
