It's all marketing and like I said, it's working. They have been doing a terrific job.

The SHO is actually a nice car. The materials might not be the same as an Audi, but then again neither is the price. They still are pretty good, though.

And it's not like luxury car material quality is that fantastic to begin with. Take the new Mercedes... they use cheap plastics all over the place!

^I agree, it is working! There are lots of new Fords out there, lots!

hmmm gonna give that one on the MB plastic driven in their bluetec suv's and let me tell ya, I hate the dash in their m-class, but loved the leather dash in one of their gl-class. I think ford will really blow away the other muscle cars when they introduce the ecoboost mustang....though I heard of purist resisting it, but some say ford will bring back a 5.0 for those who want the v-8

Agreed. SHO just got a terrific review in Car & Driver this month.

Ford and GM are putting out the best vehicles in their history right now, IMHO.

While I agree, I actually think it's a little sad for GM. The potential is there for them to be great, but they have been so poorly managed for so many years the cars haven't gotten the attention they deserved.

The product line is kind of lacking right now, too. Aside from the Corvette and Camaro there really is nothing in their lineup that stands out in its particular segment.

I agree about GM mgmt. The company was so damned big, hard to change course. But....Everything Cadillac. Everything. And Malibu. I hear the G8 is not going away..good thing.

There's the standout brand right there. As much as I am at odds with GM Corporate, I'd totally pimp me a CTS!
