Good thread, good debates. But, I have to mention one thing no has has seemed to talk about concerning the 4th Gens demise. That would be the shift in demographics to trucks during the 90s. To me, that was the biggest factor. Carry on...

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I have to bring to light that you still show no actual proof of the migration of import enthusiasts to the new Mustang, besides your own personal experience. Preaching your own experiences as gospel is something that obviously more than just myself in this post find incorrect.

You're welcome to your opinion, but you might want to figure out your place in the food chain.

*Edit- sorry for taken up page 5 with so many small posts, by the time I had come back from watching the Eagles game this thread had exploded, and it is kind of hard to manage all of it in one post reply.

(the IX is $33K and the MR is a jawdropping $36K. Mustang GTs start at $25K... well equpted.)
Mitsu Evo is a $31,000

Let's call the new Mustang exactly what it is...a rip-roaring success in most circles...but a car that doesn't translate well to sport compact guys. Why should it? A Honda Civic is not in the same class as an American pony car.

...No, I wouldn't want to compare resumes with you...I'd be rather embarressed, lol 
I didn't mean to step on any toes or **** anyone off with that post, I'm sorry if I did. I was just trying to say that I have a hard time understanding how someone could be so affected by sitting low in a car. Maybe I could have put it in a bit less abrasive terms than I did, I'll try to watch that from now on. Bob, I didn't mean that post to be a personal attack against you, I'm sorry if you felt that way. I think your Cobra is bada$$, the '03-'04 Cobras are on the top of my list of favorite cars...Even if they are a Mustang

I agree.... My "old, outdated" Camaro did a good job at putting a new 2005 Mustang GT in its place.

Re: A few thoughts about when the next Camaro comes out (and GM is making RWD again).
great thread...now let me jump in(spent the weekend playing soul caliber 3 with my girl and her dad )
same thing happened to me. 1999, went to look at an SS. did the introduction thing with the salesman, then he asks me how old i am(i was 20) so i tell him. i ask him about the SS in the showroom and he says "that's too much car for you , maybe a Cavalier might be more what you're looking for"
keep in mind, i'd been drag racing(legally) since i turned 17 and had a close to 400 plus, 10.5 tire Camaro at that point, and had about $20K to put down on the car. i turned around and walked out. went to the next dealer and proceeded to get pushed towards something else again. needless to say i got a 93 Z28 from the local FORD dealer the next day. and they were trying to get me into a Mustang GT!!!!!!
GM dealers had this bad habit of not wanting to sell Fbods to anyone under the age of 30 around me, while the Ford dealers would go out of their way to get you into whatever you wanted.
let me know when this is happening, i don't live that far away and i got a nice video cam

actual conversation (nov.2000)

DEALER: you don't want one of those because they are too much.
