January 2, 200620 yr Chevrolet Camaro coupe [Mr. Burns]Excellent![/Mr. Burns] ASC Cosmos ASC TriLite When did ASC start doing actual cars? Ford sporty car What is this? Could it be another coupe from Ford? Might hurt Mustang's sales. Or could it be a Mustang based sedan?
January 2, 200620 yr Author I think the ASC's are just conversions like the 300 convertible. The Ford sporty car is probably yet another Shelby concept.
January 2, 200620 yr I want someone like Ford to introduce a new car and sell it under the name "Sporty Car." Re-name the Mustang "Sporty Car" rename the Fusion "Family Car" rename the 500 "Large Car" rename the Crown Victoria "Geriatric Car" rename the F-series "Large Truck" and so on.

[post="66464"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] You mean how you can look up parts for the 'Mazda Truck Truck'?
January 2, 200620 yr Hmmm....forgot about how the Japanese companies decided that trucks dont need names. Although "Hardbody" was awesome, I dont know why Nissan named the truck the Frontier.
January 2, 200620 yr Hmmm...no GMT900 Silverado, Avalanche or Sierra..I wonder when/where those are going to be shown?

[post="66476"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] That is an interesting statement, until one realizes that Ford has never had a name for their pick-ups. Also, Chevrolet trucks did not have names until 1999 Silverado [previously they were C/K pickups, and had trim names]. Dodge didn't call them "Rams", until the 80's.
January 2, 200620 yr Author Hmmm...no GMT900 Silverado, Avalanche or Sierra..I wonder when/where those are going to be shown? [post="66542"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] Probably Chicago or NY. The Lambdas have to debut somewhere too (at least the Outlook and one other).

[post="66568"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] Hmm...Ford has had a named PU for over 20 years..Ranger.... and how about the F-series---Ford trucks have been named F-something for 50+ years (F1, F100, F150, F250, F350, etc)...not to mention the F-series with trim packages like Ranger and Explorer.. Before the Silverado, Chevy had names for trim levels---Apache, Silverado, Cheyenne, Cameo, etc...

Exactly... those are names... Before the Silverado, Chevy had names for trim levels---Apache, Silverado, Cheyenne, Cameo, etc... Don't forget Scottsdale! :P
January 3, 200620 yr I'm curious to see what the Ford Sporty car is. [post="66505"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] It's the Reflex. Everyone start singing duran duran. they better play that song at the unveiling or else they're lame. and it is small no shelby for sure. think mini Iosis. I wonder how much the mazda will look like it. if they're similar I'd think theyd be built off same platform.
January 3, 200620 yr The Reflex is the....(forgot how the song goes).... Anyway, nice looking front end-I don't like the rear Chrysler Firepower-like window rise-up-one of many things that turned me off from that concept car last year, but the Reflex looks nice-is it Fiesta-based?
January 3, 200620 yr Exactly... those are names... Don't forget Scottsdale! :P [post="66603"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] You also forgot Custom and Big10
