Meanwhile, I stopped by my local Ford dealer yesterday because they had a Bullitt Mustang on display. After checking it out ($32,000), I was looking at the new TWO-DOOR Focuses. They're $17,000 to $18,000. That's as much as a 6-cylinder Mustang!
My Ford dealer has a Shelby GT (not a GT500, just a GT) that has been sitting on their lot for at least half a year. They have since marked it down from their initial price increase to $45K down to $37K. They are insane not only because people are not going to pay that much money for a dressed up GT, but they are delusional that people in that town are actually have that kind of money to spend on a weekend car.
You wouldn't be able to get me to take one of those Focuses even if they were paying me $17K or $18K to keep it and drive it. They really missed it on that one if you ask me.
