Ford issued a major recall on the Mustang
« on: December 02, 2011, 10:24:31 PM »


 two years ago. i hadn't known about this.

DETROIT—-Ford officials issued a massive recall of the entire 2010 Mustang line Tuesday, apologizing for a quality-control oversight that led to the company manufacturing a badass muscle car that was way too awesome for the American public. "We deeply regret this lapse in judgment and accept full responsibility for the mistake," Ford CEO Alan R. Mulally said standing beside a gorgeous, cherry-red vehicle recalled for being "way too smoking." "After numerous road tests, we've found the car to be a mean, mean ride that Americans are simply not cool enough to handle, and it would be irresponsible of us to allow anyone to get behind the wheel of this killer car. It's truly frightening how sweet the Mustang is." According to Mulally, Ford has canceled production on the 2011 Mustang, and will instead release a line of fuel-efficient vehicles in an effort to appeal to boring old Americans.

Why? The only difference is the anniversary tag on the side.

Ford also apologizes for subjecting its' customers to the shame of being thoroughly stomped by the Camaro ZL-1.  Ford decided to cover the costs of all the kleenex and personal counseling services the Mustang drivers have to go through after getting blown away by said Camaro.  Ford has opened numerous call centers where disenchanted Mustang owners can talk about their regrets.  


CHEVY OWNS FORD!

EDIT:  Cap sucks.  :)

Actually Ford might want to recall the Mustang purely as a humanitarian gesture, to stop the flood of new Camaro owners from committing suicide when they realize they spent a lot of money buying a car that runs a distant second to the Mustang.    :rofl

I've only seen speculative art and nothing from Ford, has that changed? I wasn't please to hear they were going to abandon the retro body style and do something more modern-looking. I'd have liked them to go MORE retro (IMO, of the "retro" cars the Challenger is the best-looking PRECISELY because of how much closer it is to the classic car).

At any rate, if I could ever afford a Mustang I'd just by one of the '65 reproduction bodies and have it built out from there. :-P

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

 AGREED on the challenger.

 and you're right. virtually everyone that mentions anything about my gt, says how much it makes em think of a 60's mustang. that is what i like so much about her looks.
