Look at what all Volkswagon is going to be bringing to Chattanooga

My point through all of this is that in this one area, Ford is lagging behind it's competition and for some reason, it almost always has. The V8 GT beat both the Camaro SS and Challenger RT in a recent Car and Driver comparison. It did it with 100 fewer horsepower. Why can't it's V6 be a class leader as well?

| I was raised in a Ford family. It's all I've ever known.
I love my F-250 Power Stroke 4x4.

| Love my Fords but the UAW will continue to make things hard on them. Just saw yesterday where Ford workers voted down modifications to their current contract. They were similar modifications as GM and Chrysler workers have already agreed to. These are the types of scenarios that make it easy to understand why companies move operations to other countries. Goodness I despise organized labor in the US. | |

| My first car was a '69 Ford Fairlane Fastback. That car would flat out fly. The car was 9 years old when I got it but only had 35K miles.
