Robert
Farago, the editor of The Truth About Cars and whose GM
Death Watch is currently on episode 53, is starting to get fed up with Ford.
Farago admits he thought
Big Blue Oval would overcome its current predicament. But then Ford cancelled
the Ford GT.
Farago takes some well-aimed shots at everyone he believes contributed to the death of the
supercar, from Ford’s dealer network (But now that the supply has increased and those few “gotta have
it now” buyers have their GT’s, dealer greed has kept MANY cars bolted to the showroom floor.) to the
company’s lack of long-range vision (Ford just doesn’t get the whole long-term thing, do they? The
Lincoln LS looks a bit old in the tooth and they kill it stone dead in an endless pursuit of The Next Big Thing).
Perhaps a Ford Death Watch is in order? What are your thoughts?
