It doesnt matter who is better then who in the big 3 cause theyre all getting owned by Toyota anyways. If i was to buy stock in a car company it would by toyota hands down. Anyways, bummer about SVT, theyve made some good cars over the years. Hearing this makes me even more glad that i bought my cobra when i did, theres just something about the SVT nameplate ive always loved, somehow the new gt500 just doesnt do it for me the same way SVT did. But i agree, ford’s line up right now is pretty borrring. ---

one of the reasons SVT was doomed wa the way they set up their dealerships, you could only buy from authorized dealers exactly mazda does their mazdaspeed program, basicly less dealers get to show off the cool rides and i really do believe that hurt sales a lot. ---
