Just about a week ago I posted on how stupid GM was, in the middle of an oil crisis, to announce their new range of gas guzzling giant trucks for 2007. In typical “lemming like” fashion, Ford today announced it’s new range of auto’s for 2007. And guess what? Pride of place, and all the publicity, goes to… Gas guzzling “muscle” cars, including a four million liter Lincoln MKS, big enough to transport ten full sized pool tables along with the dozen or so beer kegs necessary to keep the players amused. Plus… Green eyed envy here… a 325-horsepower Ford Shelby GT. Just what you need to pop down to the 7-11 for a six pack! Mark Fields, head of Ford’s Americas division was quoted as saying… “I want to make sure we come in with a product that’s distinctly Ford.” He then went on to blather… “I don’t want to just get in there with an econobox!” I guess that translates as… “I am determined to continue making giant gas guzzlers no one will be able to afford, and when gas is $10 a gallon, I’ll be shocked… Nay stunned, when everyone in America is buying those wimpy little farty cars I wouldn’t be caught dead in.” 
Well OK, if you twist my arm and give me one for free... I'll drive it as often as I can afford to gas it up!
If you're going there you might as well go for the Ford Shelby GT500. 500 HP.
