Hi, Guest
Well I can see where this is going Mitch. And I have to ask. Are you upset that a company is demanding cash for a copywrited name that they own? would you be upset if another company borrowed your idea and made $$$ off you and you got squat?
Or is the real issue here that you see one side of the coin(the parts suppliers) and I see the other(Ford truly owns the name Mustang)
I may not agree with everything that is said in that statement of facts, but remember, this information is coming to you via the internet. Don't believe everything you hear and see and read on hear. It can be damaging to your health. And cause foot in mouth disease.
And to answer your question about why Ford did what they did with the SVT. Why they didn't bring over the RS engine as an option is a given. You can't get more than 5 people on this site who love the Focus and are Focus enthusiasts to give up $3500 for a SC kit. What makes that a viable market in Canada, let alone North America?
If you can't sell us parts as our sponsor, what makes Ford so different in not bringing a product to NA that would have such a limited scope for sales that it would lose money?
And most of those changes that came about were due to a change from Jacques Nassar, the salesman and spendthrift executive to the now Bill Ford. When Bill took over we went through plant closures and tough economic times. How do you tell your employees that they have no future and no job with a company but we have a Focus that can run in the 5 seconds down the quarter mile. I realize you might care, but those of us that work there, have families to feed and couldn't give a s*** where a 5 second Focus goes. Ford needed to cut and slash and they did. And you are going to see more. I heard from a top executive just yesterday that a plant in St. Thomas and Windsor is going to get the axe.
Sorry, but your story holds little weepage for me as a man who relies on this company to make sound judgements to bring the $$$ into my pocket. And stealing the name of a long known nameplate doesn't help my situation. I think you'll see that this story you brought forth is just alot of horsefeathers.
