If Ford would produce more Focus RS Euro spec cars, they should be able to lower costs based on the formula of volume lowers cost per unit. I believe Ford could sell as many as 10,000 units in the...

You miss read that or I was not clear enough. I said it showed it crossed the line. The Festiva was ugly to start with and the handling of the Shogun was not good. The Focus is not a bad looking car...

I think the idea that the Focus name could not be attached to a $40,000 high performance version and sell I think is under estimating the market. When the European Escort had a perfromance edition,...

As far as the European Focus, yes Ford should bring it here. Just like they should have brought the Costworth Escorts here. Subaru USA and Mitsubishi USA got smart and brought their rally editon cars...

Being CEO of a major company in the United States is like winning the lottery. Even though these companies are usually owned by shareholders, these CEOs treat them as if they were their own company....

I tried to line up a lone for a few million so I could buy a Talbot Lago, but the bank said I needed to get a job :(

I know of the Quail show, but I know little detail about it. I have not met...

I find it sad that top managers at both companies seem to be passing the blame along. In Japan, when you are a top manager and the company sinks, you take the blame and step down. For many decades...

The 1937 and 1938 Talbot Lago Type 150 SS

There are just handful of these cars.

You can see a couple of pictures of the only full skirted version of this car at...

There are some who believe the higher volume sales without profits was done to try to improve market share which they hope will impress shareholders and then they have more cars on the road that will...

Toyota is was losing $3000 on each Prius, but as their volume goes up the losses are getting smaller. Prius makes up a tiny portion of the overall Toyota sales. Toyota believes the loses on the Prius...

Toyota is a company that takes it time growing. In North America they came to this market in 1958. Their current strong position in the US Market took them a while to secure, but delivering quality...

The auto industry as a whole as been getting thinner profit margins, but when you consider how many cars Honda and Toyota sells in North American alone, they are pulling in a ton of cash. Worldwide...

Here is a response I got from Jon Lee who is senior member of the Classic Car Club of America and a judge at Pebble Beach.



I am all for questioning things and I think in this case the answer...

The worst part about what we are seeing with GM and Ford is these issues were noted back the 1980s. Both GM and Ford managers made some efforts to address the issues, but the desire to keep the short...

Considering the price range Porsche sells to, I guess you would have to compare Porsche to a group of FIAT brands like Maserati, Lancia, and Ferrari. There are many ways to view the companies. I...

Just to add to what Duesy is saying, most of the experts in the Classic Era world are at Pebble Beach doing the judging. The heads of the Classic Car Car Club of America and other groups like that...

Porsche is better in my opinion because it they have built some of the best performance cars for the money for decades. As much as I admire supercars, I am more impressed when a company can deliver...

Sorry if I allowed him to pull this thread off track. I just thought the Enzo and Veyron suck comment was very over the top and since he keeps pushing Koieng and Pagani I thought I would try to make...

The Enzo is terrible. Just because the Koenigegg has a higher top speed then the Enzo, does not make it an overall better car. Martin Brundle did a Super Car challenge with Pagani and Koeingsegg...

I will do some checking around. I know people in the Classic Car world that may have information on what kind of documentation this Delage has. As someone who is trying to document every car from a...

Really classy repsone Mustang.

I can play that stupid game to, but I do not act like a 5 year old.

Pebble Beach became a top rated show because they had tightened their standards over twenty years ago. This means they created a review process that weeds out the fakes. I think this is one of the...

It seems like in this market, in production or out of production has less meaning. The Enzo is the current "it" car in the super car world and the Veyron is trying to take that spot. So is a long...

I think the Veyron is I believe is 1.2 million MSRP and I think the Enzo was $650,000, but you have to be invited to buy the car from the factory. On the secondary market Enzo can run well over a...

Enzo or Veyron or do not bother to post. The thread is Enzo or Veyron.
