I just heard on the CBS evening news that as of model year 05 or 06, the new Thunderbird is getting the axe.

I am not suprised, as I live just northwest of O'Hare airport and it is pretty heavily populated here, and I usually see at least five or so new body style CLs every day. But I think I have seen a total of maybe 10 Thunderbirds in the two or so years it has been out.

I have no opinion of the T-bird, good or bad, although I would not buy one for any reason.

I hope Ford avoids future embarassment, and does not try to ressurect the name again. At one point, it was a great American car.

The new tbird was surposed to be a low volume seller (under 20,000) from the initial planning stages, but I think that they haven't sold more then several thousand.

I haven't seen that many new tbirds around my area, unless you count the ones on the dealers lot

I think its good that it was a failure in that in taught car makers that the "retro" look doesn't always stir us to buying cars that didn't need to be resurrected
