Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 5058 Registered: May-04 | "They came out with the ford GT not too long ago. Pretty much a remake. I hate when they ruin the classics" The Charger and GTO are more an example of botched classics than the Ford GT is. At least the GT stayed true to it's roots and is a world class supercar, Dodge turned the Charger into a grocery getter and the GTO looks like a chubby Grand Prix with hood scoops. I'd like to see manufacturers go to classic lines. Not a "retro", but just taking notes of what made 50s and 60s cars look so good. Retro cars die out in a couple of years, but if you design a car based on things that are proven to look good, it will still look as good 50 years from now as it does today. That is why musclecars are still a commodity today, and why 70s Toyota Coronas and Honda Accords aren't worth remembering. Take a look at the Ford Forty-Nine concept, for example. http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame.php?file=car.php&carnum=1169 Now, think about a modern car looking like that, of course with a more modern front end. Just the side profile, the long, smooth, rounded look, the mirrors, the sweeping roofline, the low profile. All accents are just thin-lined chrome and small emblems, the car has a shaved look. The monochromatic front end, the fenders rounding over the tires, the smoothly styled hood profile. As long as the made the front end and trunk look modern and not like a carbon copy, it'd be a sexy car and I think it would sell very well, at least to a certain market. Of course, the interior would need to be more modern as well, but again with classic cues. The average car interior comes in gray or tan, has no relation to the outside of the car, and looks bland. If an automaker were to have a dash (maybe fiberglass) that was a continuation of the exterior, with accents of different fabrics , woodgrain, etc., it would look SOOO much classier than the hard plastic you normally get. I get so tired of an interior review coming down to how soft Honda and Toyota can make ABS plastic look. American automakers have two choices. They can go back to classic lines that are proven to look good, set them apart from one another, and give the brand some distinction. Their other choice is to keep producing the same bland plastic turds that Japan has gotten us accustomed to for the last 30 years and try to gain market share with a bunch of vehicles that look exactly like the next one. They'll have to build their reputation on reliability since their car isn't distinct or exciting, and on top of that they'll have to counter a bunch of media skeptics and brainwashed lemmings that won't give them a break regardless of how good a car they produce. I think going back to classic lines is a good idea, as long as it isn't overdone and made to look exactly like a specific car made 50 years ago. It's a lot of the reason Chrysler and Dodge have been so successful the last couple of years. |

I love that look of an old muscle car with the mods of today. I am not a really big fan of the fourty nice but that buick is HOT. I think a look of an old GTO with all carbon fiber, wood grain(luxery look) with the a few new aero dynamic lines would really catch the market if designed properly. Or a old charger look with the new style of today and the new HO Hemi would be nice |

Spy pics show it to look a lot like the older ones, much more inspiring than the Charger is. Rumor says it gets the 6.1L Hemi too I like the Forty Nine and the Buick in different ways, either way, both of them look tons better than the run of the mill Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. It just angers me that GM and Buick know exactly what a Buick should be (like that concept) and still won't give it to us. I'd rather them be clueless, at least they'd have some form of an excuse. |

I coudn't agree more! "Dodge is coming out with a Challenger soon from what I hear. Spy pics show it to look a lot like the older ones, much more inspiring than the Charger is. Rumor says it gets the 6.1L Hemi too" I have heard the same thing. That Hemi is a beast, balls out motor. My new truck has it and in a 6500 pound truck it gets up and goes like no other I have ever driven(besides a nicely done up diesel) I only have the 5.7 not the 6.1 either. Here is what they are intending to put in the new challenger "(From dodge) The just-announced-at-SEMA 6.4 liter version, at a historic 392 horsepower, due in 2008 with the Dodge Challenger, does the SRT-8 one better, and we'd like to know how since the extra size isn't all that much. It generates a full 505 horsepower. A new version of the 6.1 liter engine was created in mid-2005. A forum contributor noted, "Originally, [the 6.1 block] was basically the same [as the 5.7], but there were failures from anyone trying to squeeze more power out of the original 6.1 design-basically, the crank would come out of the block [and the new version has a beefed up bottom end so it can handle more power]. It is easy to tell the difference - the original design has an aluminum colored block - the new one is orange" imagine 505 HP that is going to compete off the factory floor with the viper wait until someone desides to do intake,exaust,chip,head,cams,TURBO!lolol. I think this is all great what they are doing with the Hemi but the main concern is that chrysler does not have a solid tranny that can handle that amount of torque without putting a torque limmiter on it which kind of defeats the purpose ya know. |

It's just going to take some time for them to prove themselves, but they are improving quality every single day. So are Ford and GM. All of their efforts are paying off, they have surpassed Toyota, Honda, and Nissan in quality with many aspects of their vehicle lineups. |

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4368 Registered: Dec-04 | Hey noknowledgesoldier I mean nolimitsoldier, When you hook up one of those towwy things that you are talking about what do you plan to tow? a baby on a skate board because thats about all that a subaru could tow without throwing a rod, blowing a head, overheating, blowing rear end, the list goes on. When you tow HP really means nothing unless you are trying to pass someone at 55 towing a boat. Its all about torque at low RPM's which the subaru has about as much as a pocket bike(seriously). I am not knocking subaru wrx (sti only) for their speed but without the turbo kicking in at high RPM's they really have absolutly nothing my friend. The old 7.3 powerstroke that Jonathan is reffering to is one of the best diesel motor's ever made. He could drive 200,000 miles before his first scheduled tune up while your subaru is dead puffing smoke on the side of the road with a shot tranny and a blown head gasket. Dont compare big trucks to rice racer cars because when it comes down to it I would race you in your ricer any day in my full size truck and win. "I'll be more than willing to make a wajor to you. We can chain your Lexus up with the diesel after you get a "towy thingy" and let them do all the talking. I'll laugh when you throw a rod. " That is an understatement Jon lolol!! that would be the funniest SH!T watching the lexus spin it's tires trying to go forward while being pulled backwards as the rear end dropps out and the rod comes up through the head lolol!!!! |

BMW, Mercedes?" I've worked on too many Accords and Civics to believe all the overrated hoopla about them. Ford and GM have surpassed Japanese automakers in reliability with nearly every aspect of their vehicle lineup. Toyota's recall list doubles every year, as does Honda and Nissans. I've worked on 80s Celicas and Corollas and 90s Camrys, and if you see the difference in quality just between the cars of different eras, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about when I say Toyota isn't what Toyota was when they were trying to make a name for themselves. As the market pushed further and further toward gas mileage every year, the cost to build a vehicle went up as increasing emissions, safety, and economy regulations came into play. They and every other automaker began making everything smaller, lighter, and consequently weaker in the name of efficiency. They don't build 'em like they used to, that phrase holds true for anything built today. Now, things are getting a little better as chassis development improves on vehicles, but the motors and transmissions are still built with a "just enough" mentality. |

I agree. Fords downfall was the most recent. Growing up through the 80s, I had a lot of hope for Ford because they were hitting the mark every way they could. The F-150, the Taurus, the Explorer, the Ranger, Thunderbird, Crown Vic, the 5.0L Mustang, all were exceptional for their time and extremely popular. They were on the road to recovery and were doing everything right. Then the 90s came and Jack Nasser destroyed everything they were about with the stupid Taurus redesign (the Camry and Accord couldn't touch the Taurus in sales until the redesign in 96), the Explorer problems, the F-150 turned a little too pretty (but thankfully was still a tough truck underneath the jellybean styling), and the older platforms were neglected and became outdated. Jack Nasser pushed progression and neglected the basics of automaking. When I saw the 97 F-150 redesign, I almost cried. It grew on me a little, but if you are a Ford truck fan you grow accustomed to the simple, square, slab sided look that pushed them to #1 in the first place. Luckily, now we have Bill Ford as CEO and he cares about the company, and it has jumped leaps and bounds ahead of just a few years ago. Compare this F-150 with the last one, or the new Mustang with the last one, the Fusion with the Taurus, Focus with the Escort. They're quickly turning around, and I think they'll do very well with a few years to prove themselves again. As is, the F-150 is the most reliable truck, besting the Toyota Tundra, GMs trucks, and the Ram and Titan. They're tapping into what resources they have and they've moved a long way because of it. It will take some time for the Detroit automakers to prove themselves to people again, but it's happening very quickly. Mainly, the American automakers need to get their newest vehicles out and kill the losers. Once everything is renewed and refreshed, I think you'll be surprised how well they do overall. It won't take long for Toyota to be dethroned. |

Post Number: 1865 Registered: May-05 | DODGE, DODGE, DODGE. i remember when they first announced their new platform from which all their future models would be based. very aggressive. from their huge universal truck grill (that had to grow on me at first) to the flared fenders, overall body styling and tough look/"verging on bland" interior. its a no nonsense approach that i think works well. even in light of the controversies-the magnum drives and handles a bit too much like a truck, and the sedan charger goes against its roots (likely to yield more sales b/c of the practical dimension so many wives tend to favor)-i'm very much liking the direction of the company. ford reminds me of sony-they have their grimy little fists in just about everything (the benz has a lemon factor never before seen). hopefully, the new mgt you speak of will help a bit in that regard. |

I'd like to see manufacturers go to classic lines. Not a "retro", but just taking notes of what made 50s and 60s cars look so good." the original charger prototype was an attempt to be just that imo. then, i believe it was the introduction of the intrepid that was said to resemble the charger, so they threw it out (the charger) and started from scratch.  |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 5086 Registered: May-04 | I agree, DCX has grown by leaps and bounds. As is, the Ram is a very good truck and I've considered it. I'm not a fan of their cars so much, but they do have a market. If they come out with this new Challenger, I may just be buying . I also agree with Fords future plans. Downsize, kill off rental car sales, make the company smaller and more efficient and focus on profitability. |

Post Number: 1880 Registered: May-05 |  6.1L stick w/pistol grip shifter. intriguing. hadn't heard about it. now i have to remain antsy 'till 2009 (if they build it). that's actually perfect as i won't be able to afford it before then anyway. just in time to trade in my (still yet to be purchased) charger what's interesting is whether chevy and ford will hop on a muscle car revolution, and whether it and future genre productions would sell better if they did. there would finally be "the fast car for the big guy" again. thanks for the heads up. |

That would be pretty cool though, be the only person driving around one of those badboys. Even though i could probably keep up with it by running. Put some nice rims on it, system in the backseat and its good to go. |

I've heard the SVT is coming back, but based on the 2.3 Duratec this time. Should be a screamer (for what it is). But the main thing is you can do a LOT to the 2.3L Duratec, Cosworth has a lot of upgrades that will give it over 240hp and similar torque naturally aspirated, in the average price range for a 4 banger. No telling what the engine could do with a turbo. The Focus is one of the few cars that are very, very successful in rally racing. Besides, by the time you do all these upgrades to a Focus, you may as well have gotten a Mustang GT for a little over $25k, which has far more potential than any Sentra, Cobalt, or Focus. Ford will offer a hotted up Focus, but not at the expense of their baby, the Mustang. You can't say there isn't a market for the Mustang, it's selling in droves. Same reason Ford didn't jump on an opportunity to make the Ranger a midsize, it would cut into F-150 sales. If they were that worried about it, they'd slap some sheetmetal on the new Explorer chassis, put a bed in the back, give it a styling update and they'd have a Tacoma killer. But that's where the new Sport Trac comes in, because it's more profitable. 4.6L, 6 speed automatic, extremely nice interior, 7,000lb+ towing capacity, good off road capability. That doesn't necessarily make it right, but the Mustang is more profitable than a Focus, and the F-150 is the most profitable vehicle they make. Those are the two vehicles they will always take care of. And they need to focus on profit, not volume. An unfortunate side of business, but when you're in a hole, you have to dig yourself out of it some way or another. |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 5119 Registered: May-04 | That's because you're fortunate enough to have a European Focus. How does it drive? I've heard it'll go pretty good for what it is. Hopefully the US will get the 2nd generation Focus platform soon. |

Nicely quick and go cart handling. These would even dust the old 200hp wrx impezzas. As it is I have to live with a 150mph bus. Oh well it must be time for a change soon. |
