danny_galaga:

they are definitely saving tangibly on letting pontica go. production for the car that was supposed to be the G8 or something is being canned here. instant savings...

The 90s Thunderbirds were good cars.  A little too Monte Carlo like for some people but I had one and it was fast, handled well, and stood up to getting broadsided by a teenager on the phone going 50mph in a 30 zone.  Had my wife been in a smaller car she'd be dead right now and maybe my son too.  I was really disappointed when they went back to the little sports car model - note that you almost never see any of them on the road now.

The 'new' Thunderbird was a pile of poo packaged in a name brand handbag.

Those 90's T-birds were nice in the performance category, but looked like any other car on the road.

I liked the fact that it looked mostly normal.  I have no interest in a "sports car".  That is why I chose the Thunderbird - didn't feel like getting pulled over because my car looks fast.

I love those new Thunderbirds.  If I was over 50 I'd get one in a heartbeat.  Seriously.  Well, I've never been inside one, or even looked at the interior, but I think the design is really nice.  But they're definitely for middle-age and up.
