Im with you Fam.. But lets be honest here.. If you have a choice between a 2012 650 Coupe, Corvette, or the CTS-V.. Ill even throw in the new Benz SL and the Jag XK.. You cant possibly tell me you are going with the Lac or the Vette.. Even if they compete in every category the wow factor just isnt there..

For 1.. The CTS-V looks good from some angles and from others its looks all wrong.. The wheels/wheel wells are entirely too small for that car.. The car should come with 20's standard not the 16's or 17's it comes with.. The Corvette.. Now the Vette is a nice looking vehicle.. But that interior leaves much to be desired.. You sit in a Malibu and you sit in a Vette you really wont see the difference.. And theres my issue with American cars.. The craftsmanship and the use of poor materials needs to stop.. And as the tech leader of the world.. We need to bring these cars up to date.. And standardize a lot of options that you cannot get in some of these cars..

I look at it like this, Weather a car comes with something standard or not the price will even out anyway. Like the 650 may come standard with mor than the other cars but its initial cost is more too. Add those options to the other cars and I think they still may be cheaperthan the 650. But like you said and I agree the build quility just seems better with the foreign cars. It's gonna be hard for the big 3 to shake the rep they have but they are doing it slowly but surely. As an example, I had a 2000 Mustang GT fully loaded for its day, Leather, premium sound system, ect...The new Mustangs are light years ahead at this point. I can't speak on Dodge and GM but Ford is doing good in build quility and features.

What's your excuse gonna be when you buy that new foreign car and something goes wrong with it? Yes some people had problems with their transmissons in their Mustang, what about those Millions of toyotas that had to be recalled for fear of brake failer, or those people scared to Drive their GT-R's like they were meant to be driven out of fear that when they break the transmission Nissan refused to cover it?

I here you and to an extent I agree.. But I guess its the New Yorker in me... I dont give a damn about the price.. If its a quality product ill spend the money for it.. You see people busting there necks for anything that has the name Apple attached to it.. I think most americans hell even foreignors for that matter that buy foreign would buy American if they would just make an overall better product..

I wish I was the CEO of lets say GM.. After 10 years.. They would be ahead of BMW and Mercedes.. Because I would make sure America's best talent hell the worlds best talent works for me.. And I would demand they come up with better products.. From R&D all the way to the end of the production line...

first off, I don't buy new cars. Worst purchase you can make. You lose money the second you leave the lot.

I buy cars that aren't pieces of shit. I also buy cars that are going to MAKE me money. I could walk away from this car right now well positive NOT break even or even have to roll in a balance to my next car like most people do because they have NO IDEA how to buy a car. They just like to buy what hot.

CASE IN POINT, that CTS-V you were talking about? Those can be had ALL DAY for 40k nowadays. The depreciated like a rock, now all those fools that bought that are ass end up on a car loan just hoping to break even.

I find it funny that GT-R video showed me nothing about what that Jalopnik article was about...I will admit I did not know very much about this situation but I do know it WAS FIXED. And for the record, the owners signed a waiver on voiding their warranty if they engaged Launch Control and then cause damage, then did JUST THAT and complain? I don't think that's a legit gripe. All the car magazine have heralded this car as one of the greatest advancements in car tech ever and this is what you bring me to compare to a mustang driveshaft FALLING OUT at 135? Really guy?

And as far as the Toyota? its hardly the situation Ford has. Ford PURPOSELY outsourced their transmission and driveshafts to China to become more profitable, THEY CUT CORNERS for a bottomline NOT QUALITY. Ford is ALSO DENYING this problem exists.

You were saying now?

What the hell that got to do with what we were talking about? Stop tryna deflect from the BS shit you said. You acting like American cars are the only ones that has issues and all I said was ALL car companys has had to have recalls because of issues with their cars.

But I'll entertain your new argument just for the hell of it. You are correct, buying new is the worst thing you can do in most cases, MOST cases. If i were to sale the car I have now COULD make a 25% profit but I don't plan on selling anytime soon

FieldTripsToTheHood · January 2012

my point was I don't buy new cars that have unknown problems...try and keep up.

Dude, I agree with what you're saying. But how long did it take Toyota to admit there was an issue and do the recall? What about Honda Issuing a recall? The new Mustang hasn't been out for a full year yet, if there are enough complaints Ford will do whats right and fix the problem just like Toyota did.

Simple question that you still haven't answered. Don't ALL car company's have complaints about something with some of their cars and if enough complaints are filed a recall is done?

FieldTripsToTheHood · January 2012

Every car companiy has issues yes...I'm not disputing that, what I am saying is the severity of the situation Ford has and is IGNORING is FAAAAAR different.

What are you complaining about then? So you saying its ok for Nissan to put a transmission in a car that can't handle the power the car has? Yeah they eventually fixed that issue. Now we have Ford, a few transmission problems have come up in some cars and you complaining that they haven't fixed it yet? Give them the opportunity to fix the issue if its wide spread which by all indications we don't know if it is yet.

You know they have to research the issue right? How do we know it's not the owners fault that the transmission is acting like that? I been a member of a Mustang forum for over 7 years, this issue isn't as wide spread as you making it out to be. Hell there were some new Mustang owners that had never heard of this problem. Like I said, if the issue is as big as YOU think it is Ford WILL issue a recall to fix this problem just like every other car company would.

FieldTripsToTheHood · January 2012

Jalopnik did a story on that also, look it up. They are ignoring it.

and FWIW this shit with Ford is going on a year now so yeah....they'll fix it.

wilberdmillz · January 2012

Ok bro, I just posted an article where in 2010 Honda was recalling cars from 2003. Point it some times shit takes time. You just being extra critical of American cars because you prefer foreign cars. Which is cool but you gotta be fair across the board. When Toyota recalled all them cars because of possible brake failure how many year models back did they go? This Ford issue just started with the 2011 5.0 right? Let this situation cook.

FieldTripsToTheHood · January 2012

I think you fall for slick advertising...American cars have and will continue to be junk. Dog, the ZR1 is fuckin plastic.

wilberdmillz · January 2012

So its cool for foreign car companies to do recalls years later but you ready to hang Ford for not doing an immediate recall?

I know it is, never disputed that. It's also 115k, name one car in its price range that can fuck with it? I'll wait.........

FieldTripsToTheHood · January 2012

I ain't ever said anything was cool but continue putting words in my mouth if you feel its helping you in this discussion.

I'll hang ford for bailing them out then getting back on its feet only to make a absurd move like outsourcing transmission and shit to China. Yeah, I'm going to hang Ford for that. Where was this big plan to become solvent again? This is it? Typical American approach.

Ford was the only one of the Big 3 not to except bailout money, try again.

FieldTripsToTheHood · January 2012

I stand corrected. My point still stands though does it not?

FieldTripsToTheHood · January 2012

They knowingly went with a lesser quality part/manufacturer to cut costs, they didn't put that in the brochure though did they?

now this same part fails and they need to "research" the problem....yeah ok, keep buying American if you want, I'd actually be driving my car where I need to go not to the shop.

wilberdmillz · January 2012

I been said that some complaints have come in about the transmission problem, I'm sure Ford is researching the issue and will issue a recall if necessary. It's the same thing Honda did with their transmission issue and Toyota with the brake issue. You can't issue a immediate recall because of a few complaints, you have to look into it first right?
