Yes, I'm sure. You can search the web for "Enzo Ferrari" and you will find it. It's their newest model. I know it should be red, but ..."The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not. "

The Viper sells for $83,795 - $84,795. Caddie is currently sells a $80,000 sports car and they are supposed to come out with a $100,000+ V-16 powered sedan soon too.Originally posted by Asher
Isn't the Viper about $60K?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

That's just plain ignorant. Honda Accords made in Ohio normally have fewer defects then Accords made in Japan. Honda likes them so much they export some of their models (especially the Accord Coupe) around the world and even back to Japan. BMW's Spartenburg, SC factory also normally exceeds the quality of German made BMWs.Originally posted by Cookie Monster
American workers are too busy thinking about weekend partying and drinking to be concerned about job quality.
The truth is the important part isn't where a car is made but how a car is made. There are great cars made all over the place and to say "I will never buy any car manufactured in country X because my 20 year old beater did preform as well as a new car" is just plain stupid. Did you know that Buicks consistently score higher on quality ratings and have fewer defects/mechanical problems then Hondas or Nissans? Did you know that Caddies have fewer problems then Toyotas? I admite it's unfair to compare a $60,000 Caddie to a $25,000 Toyota since the expensive car has a lot more money to spend on quality checks but I'm trying to show you several America designed & built as well as American built and foreign designed cars which are excellent.Last edited by Dinner; October 15, 2003, 12:51.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

I own a 1994 Ford Probe with 145,000 miles on the odometer. It's never left me stranded on the side of a road and has always started every time I turned the key.Originally posted by Azazel
Dad's Ford was great. I don't know what are you talking about.
Of course I always made sure the suggested maintance was done on time including changing the oil, plugs, belts, etc... when I was supposed to. It's amazing how many ignorant people there are out there with 50,000 miles on there car who've never bothered to change the oil or have the required maintance done yet they still complain what a POS there car is when it breaks down. If the car is abused then of course it will break however if you take care of it then you might have found it an excellent car.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Really, I don't know what you have against Fords. the Mondeo was a great solid family car, for example.
Just a pity it didn't sell.
3000 people (and probably more over the coming years ( 6000 more?)) just lost their job because the mondeo did so poorly.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Are you sure? I thought the Mondeo sold like hot cakes."Paul Hanson, you should give Gibraltar back to the Spanish" - Paiktis, dramatically over-estimating my influence in diplomatic circles.

Yeah, me too. Mondeo was BBC's car of the year, or something a couple of years ago.Comment

150k for a freakin Ford?
hell no!
for that money, one could buy an Aston DB7, Porsche 911, a Mercedes AMG or whatever other top brand. Why anyone that rich would buy a Ford is beyond me.Quod Me Nutrit Me DestruitComment

I'd like to point out the astronomical prices people are willing to pay for a vintage 1960's Ford Cobra. In fact so many people want one but can't afford an original that there are several dozen companies all manufacturing kit cars designed to look like the Cobra. Classic Caddies (20's & 30's editions), Lincolns, Duesenburgs, Auburns, Pierce-Arrows, Packards, and the like routinely sell for millions so there is demand for up market American cars.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Brands are misleading. For example, a Mazda 6 could take on the nice German cars. But since it's a Mazda, the price tag is much lower ( That's why it's such a great deal, btw.
)

mazda is also a third owned by ford.B♭3Comment

A car like this is a status symbol. Having the label "ford" or "mazda" on it, lowers it's value, and it's status, and it's appreciation. And if someone wants to spend 150k on a car, they want the brand name to go with it.

Nah. It still is a sports car, though a 2nd tier one, and that's why it costs 150k, and not 500k.
150k is quite affordable, if you make a small fortune, and enjoy cars.Comment
-
still, for that money, one could buy a Porsche or an Aston.
If someone has 150k to spend, and only 150k, and they want a special car, most would go for a brand that delivers status, on top of performance.
but yeah, I can see people buying it as a second or third car, providing they are extremely wealthy.
and even if they want to buy American (stupid as it may sound), they're better of settling for a Viper or Corvette.Quod Me Nutrit Me DestruitComment
