    Nice, I miss my 06 Screaming Yellow GT (I went from a purple 96 GT to that). I have never owned a red Mustang.

    Gulfstream Aqua (Now Competition Orange)
    Purple 96 GT
    Yellow 06 GT
    Black 2010 GT
    Black 96 Cobra
    Silver 16 GT

    I really want a Grabber Blue S197 GT500 or S550 GT350.

I don't know what happened but the prices on them have actually gone up since I was looking almost 2 years ago.

    That said, if you are looking for new non-luxury US built and branded CAR you are running out of options. The Malibu (built at Fairfax) will be the only mid sizer left and if you want full sized you'll need to roll with a 300 or Charger (built in Canada but close enough). I think they will be making the Sonic in Orion Twp for another year or two or if you can do electric, the Bolt. $8500 in rebates on those puppies right now.

    EDIT: I guess I forgot about Tesla. I suppose you could always roll with a Model 3.
    Thanks for the info! I'm not even thinking about Tesla or other electric, just not my thing....
    I have always like the CTS, and maybe should look at them, maybe ATS as well. I see an M plate my neighbor has is a CT4, it looks pretty sweet though.
    I'm not such a Cadillac type of person, more of a blue collar kind of person.
    But in the back of my mind, always looking at CTS, just don't know much of anything about them.

    That's too funny. I've actually never owned a Foxbody. I almost have bought a few (I'd love a notch in Calypso Green with grey interior). All my cars have been coupes/fastbacks. I sunburn too easily.

    Honestly, once they get the EV platforms tested, it's just a matter of attaching a body to the "skateboard" and then selling it. EV bypasses all CAFE constraints and there's virtually no powertrain testing required after the initial skateboard (battery/motor/generators). Limited durability testing is a huge coat savings to any company.

    Personally, I prefer a internal combustion engine, rear wheel drive. As long as it's powered properly, a turbo 4cyl is great. (although I'd much rather have a 500hp V8)

    try it, so I did. But unlike the owner from that article, I
    bought mine eye's wide open.

    I don't recall the gas mileage ever being that good. But
    I used it as I did (do) most every car I buy, drive it for a
    while, then sell it.

    But I bought this clean, late model used car so cheap surely
    I'b sell it for more.......I sold it for what I paid for it and that
    was a glorious day!
    Ugh. A 3 year old used one of these steaming turds was my first car. $2,000 for a low mileage three year old used car?!? My Dad (a GM employee) somehow thought this was a can't miss opportunity and since my parents funded 3/4 of the purchase, I was stuck with it. It was such a great deal my Dad bought it a full 9 months before my 16th birthday and drove it himself until I turned 16. My Dad even told me if I hated it he would buy it off me. I drove it for 6 months or so and told him I hated it and would sell it to him and he said sure and offered me $500 for it (his rational is that was all the money that came out of my pocket) so needless to say I kept it. i wound up having it for a total 1 year and approx. $1000 of repairs before I dumped it. On the plus side, I got my first job at 14 and had enough money to buy my second car, a 60K original mile 1966 Chevelle Malibu Sport, before I was even able to sell this turd.

    Regarding that well written article, the author talks about the clutch linkage being a cable. My memory must be failing me. Having had to crawl under the car on multiple occasions to try to adjust the linkage to keep it from popping out of 5th gear, I could swear the linkage was mechanical (rods).
