The two Fords I've driven lately are my dad's 2008 Taurus and my boss's 2003 Mustang Mach 1.

The Taurus is a very nice driving car with great fit and finish. It drives just as nice as our Cadillac Deville.

The Mach 1 is just amazing! I got on it and had an instant ear to ear grin! I broke the 235 series tires loose in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears! It's still not a Buick T-Type, but for the money and reduced maintenance I'd love to have it!

Looks like someone took a cue from Chrysler's line of the 300, Charger and Magnum with the high "waistline" and slim windows.

Exactly my first thought. The front end has the Charger police interceptor 'badass' look.

I do like the suicide doors though, without the pillar.

Dug out and drove my Ford Ranger 4x3 last night.

Gotta love high performance cars! I just visited the GM and Ford websites and built an HHR SS and a Mustang GT. The GT is by far the better value, but if I were to get a new one I'd have to go with the HHR for the snow.

I'm thinking of building up an 80's Mustang for the summers here. The GT convertible is tempting me....

The last time I drove a Ford was this summer after my friend got his 65 Mustang back from being painted and his 289 pumped up to 400 hp.Although after driving it my HHR SS and even more my Vette would shut him down. I don't think he got 400hp more like 300hp.

That truck looks too luxurious & too over the top inside, where are the rear brake lights ? Those strips over the t'gate ?

Remember its only a concept.

Long time ford & gm driver here. I have a '00 mustang gt 'vert, which is retired for the winter. Cant wait for spring !!

I don't think I've ever seen a more accurate description of a "thing" in my life.
