Desperate Ford Runs Fictional Ad For That Rattletrap Mustang

To all,

I saw the ad, no one is blowing away anyone.

I own both a 2007 Ford Mustang GT and a 1984 Porsche 911. Previously owned a 2005 Mustang GT (switched to an automatic (spouse) and convertible (me)), a Porsche 968 and a 924S.

Can Germany build a better car? According to JD Power & Associates, no. Porsche, Mercedes and Volkswagen rate lower in first year quality. Porsche however, rates higher in intial purchase satisfaction--it rates #1 on this scale.

Can Japan, per JD Power, yes as far as quality, but to date I've not seen many 40 year old Japanese vehicles still running in large numbers on the open road...look at the National Mustang meetings and you see loads of older Mustangs.

I own both cars because they handle well, accelerate great (plus to Mustang

I've been asked many times by friends which car I like better--both are different in individual ways, but I wouldn't get rid of either car.

Everybody: Please don't feed the trolls!

I wouldn't normally but I'm testing my DSL and need somewhere to post. As for our trolling friend, he overlooks one of the fundamental concepts of mass production. The one that says higher quality & lower per unit cost are achievable when large numbers of the same product are mass produced. The kid should really read up on Ely Whitney.

Any relation to Eli?
