Great thread, let's bash every american car brand, even the ones that we've owned b4. One thing that we all should realize, FORD is not going to make that car, simple as that. Do we not remember what the last Mach III that was shown to us ten years ago when the last generation was refreshed? The 390 HP SC engine is possible but not yet real. Did anyone here not read the article in www.autoweek.com about Ford no longer producing the 2K3 SVT Mustang because the engines were blowing up? The Max is not god's gift to earth but, a Ford is still a Ford, isn't it? If Ford manufactured anything close to that car it would cost nearly $50k for a convertible, and $40k for the coupe. The most HP the SVT version would have according to everything that I've read about it is 300HP, not anything to wriye home about. The 2K3 G35 Coupe, a rear wheel drive car, produces 280HP, without mods. Surely NISMO, or someone else will develop a catback that produces eight additional HP, an intake that produces another seven for a couple hundred bucks. In other words, there are cars, dramatically better put together than the Stang, that will be a better value when that car is finally released. Ya'll know what the Rubman will be driving later this year, aside from keeping he Mighty Max.

It's hard to keep a coversation when you keep contradicting yourself.
Of course you would take a Shelby over a Maxima if someone just gave it to you. You would take a Pacer or a Pinto if someone gave it to you also. Doesn't really make a statement either way. Which is what you have been doing all along.
I've been very clear about answering your questions. You continue to be vague. Shrugs. No biggie I guess.

My point was never to put down the retro styling of the Ford or Nissan but rather state the obvious that creativity is going in one or the other direction, it's either mix old with new or just plain old bland and this is the sad part.
What is it you are trying to prove? It's obvious that you are not reading well and that you are reading way, way too much into this.
I didn't say I did not like the industries styling cues, my statement remains the same and you just keep trying to make some kind of point by twisting and overstating your own comments by adding things that I did not say.
Go ahead though and keep on keeping on, moderate by calming yourself and reading verbatim, not what you are trying to perceive.
I'm not adding words to your comments, so please stop overofficiating and just chalk this up to our differences on the matter of auto styling as of late is just 2 different things that you don't see my point and that will keep us from seeing eye to eye on as long as you continue to do so.

Aside from that, where did you hear the SVT version would only have 300 hp? The N/A Cobra that was out before the current supercharged one has 330hp. I have serious doubts they would suddenly drop the hp in a Cobra based on a new body style to less than the previous N/A Cobras. I have doubts that the next Cobra will not have a supercharger. Seeing the current trend with SVT vehicles, the next Cobra probably will have a supercharger and will still have at least around the 395 hp it does now.

As far as the rest of this issue, we are beating a dead horse and I'm through kicking it.

Ford temporarily stops production of Cobra due to engine problems
Ford has temporarily stopped production of the 2003 SVT Cobra due to quality concerns.
Ford officials are mum on what’s wrong with the supercharged Mustangs, but assembly plant sources told media that the problem originates with the 4.6-liter V8.
Ford aims to resume production Nov. 15 and will begin delivering finished Cobras that were held back because of the snafu."

You are correct I DON'T know you. I only know what you write. If you write in a contradictary and vague manner, that is how you protray yourself. What do you want me to do? Fly over there and spend a few days getting to know you? 
How about addressing my post and continuing the conversation instead of just accusing me of not knowing what's in your mind?

As far as contradicting myself, I haven't you just continue to confuse one thing for another. It is no biggie, but don't think you know for one second what I would or wouldn't do.
