I was raised to be anti-Ford my whole life. But if GM doesnt offer a 5th gen when I'm going to buy my first new car, well then it will be a Mustang and wont need $50. Just the fact that its what I want in a car makes all the difference.

 

I doubt the issue is if Camaro comes back. If Chevrolet has their way, you could safely bet it will be back by 2007. The question is when as as what (meaning continuing as a GT, or returning to it's pony car-ish roots).

 

The market is still there.

The formula still works.

We just need a quality, modern Camaro.

 

I went and test drove a 03 Cobra coupe and got the $50, well its supposed to be on the way...
I know the salesman there and they work close with our business for parts needs so I'm at the dealer 2-3 times a week and showed him the offer I got in the mail from Ford. He said it only applied to the V6, GT, or Mach 1, but said take the Cobra out and I'll just write in you test drove a GT.

 

At this point in the game I have absolutely no problem buying a Ford product. At least I can get a RWD, V8 Sedan (and I would have four to choose from) from Ford as well as a Pony car.

 

i know what im doin this weekend if that applies in canada.
i'd take 50 bucks to keep my test drive that and realize why i bought my car

 

where can i get my 50 bucks?>
they dont just give u it do they?

 

I bet Ford sent 100,000 of those tickets to people that most likely probably wouldn't know much about the f-bod and drive them casually.. easy targets..

 

Not this owner, seems like a random thing to me. They sent one to me and I have a 1 year old car, probably not in the position to get anything else right now much less a Mustang.

-I thought they sent the offer to me because I went on to Ford's site and requested info on the 03 Cobra...of which I still haven't gotten....

 

You know, If I were a Mustang marketing guy, this would be a great way to use Camaro's absence to pull in some devoted Camaro drivers.

Pay them to test out a Mustang to dispell a few misconceptions, a few will buy them, word of mouth will take care of the rest. If the car & experience is good, more converts from a segment of buyers that tend to be very passionate about their cars.

Pretty devious if this is the case.

 

Well, I test drove a GT once for a dealership promotion. Not only was the car unimpressive, the salesman was a slimey greaseball character that...only after he found I wouldn't buy....found out that the promotion was for new cars only....

I was happy to leave that guy hanging...and better yet, I left knowing I drove off in the better car.
