Fuck the Mustang. Its a cheap piece of shit in my opinion. No I'm not questioning the reliability of the vehicle as I'm sure it will probably have less mechanical problems than a BMW in the long run. I'm questioning the fit and finish.
No, the new one's are not better than they used to be. They never have been and they never will be. In five years the Ford will drive like a piece of shit with rattling doors, rattling dash and cheap plastic shitty parts in the interior that fall apart. The BMW will be the same as the day it was driven off the lot. This is quality. The # of repairs to me is called reliability. Its not limited to Ford either. All American cars share the same problem.
Saturn was supposed to be the Japanese killer. It wasn't They were piece of shit vehicles like the rest of the GM lineup.
Chrysler LH sedans were supposed to be new and improved quality. They wern't. They became cheap pieces of shit like the rest of the Chrysler line. I watched my dad's Intrepid fall apart over the years.
The Ford GT was supposed to be a supercar to compete with the rest of them. Ask Jeremy Clakson what he thinks of the GT.
Is the Corvette is supposed to be a supercar like the rest of them with a Cavalier steering wheel? A five year old Vette may as well go in the garbage along with its resale value.
American cars have always been and will always be sub par in quality and fit & finish. No amount of time, money or technology has been able to fix this problem and I have no idea why. I wish it weren't so. I wish I could spend my hard earned money on North American products but I just can't burn my money up like that. There is no shortage of cool American cars, fast Amercian cars or reliable Amercian cars, but quality American cars simply do not exist.
2 voitures aux performances quasi-identiques. Mais l'une coute 35000 http://www.ford.ca/app/fo/index.do/app/fo/en/cars/mustang.do?WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=cids09MS50;et l'autre 70000 http://www.bmw.ca/ca/en/insights/special_offers/special_offers9.html.
C'est juste une question de quel emballage vous plait le plus...
Qu'est qui t'a surpris auparavant avec cette voiture ?
C'est seulement maintenant, apres 45 ans d'existance que la mustang arrive à égalité avec une européenne.
Détrompes toi, j'adore certaines Mustang, mais pas pour leur performance. Plutot parce qu'elles ont de la gueule (1967, 1968, 2006 à 2008) et parce qu'elles sont abordables.
What do you define as the current car market? 2008+ 2010+? Every domestic vehicle that I have driven has the same quality issues. After 50,000km they turn to shit. Unless Ford revolutionized their manufacturing capabilities for the 2011 model year (which they didn't) then my argument is sound. Again I must stress that I wish it wasn't the case because I would love to support North American products but I can't. Also I must stress that there is no shortage of fun reliable American cars either. I'm talking strictly the fit and finish.You can validate my argument my looking at resale values of 3 year old American vehicles vs resale values of similar Euro and Jap brands.
Vue de l'intérieur, autre passe, elle l'a manqué...LOL

Are you suggesting that my arguments are incorrect? Please provide something of a response so I can address it. Its not a matter of opinion either. If something is cheap its cheap. Unless you can somehow show me that they have revolutionized the way they make cars, American cars are still going to be worth shit after 50K kms. From an Escalade right down to a Cobalt..same exact thing.
commence par prouvé tes propre arguments.
Tu penses vraiment que la qualité des voitures Americains sont égale?
Bon voilà:
2009 Honda Accord 50,000km: $22,000
2009 Camry 50,000km: $20,000
2009 Ford Fusion 40,000km: $17,000
2009 Chevy Impala 50,000km: $15,000
Pourquoi le Toyota et Honda sont evalués $3-5K plus après seulement 1.5 ans?
