2002 Ford Thunderbird Road Test Video

[grubbsandiego1]

Once again Mercedes and BMWs have the gas tank door on the passenger side as does the TBird.

[Quadio1]

nope2

[garciamontesod]

and Ford has the GT

[lasuvidaboy]

They're not comparing it to the Corvette. They called it a 'Halo' car which is a premium model offered a car company. Chevy has the Vette and Ford offered the TBird-completely different types of cars. Like the original TBird, it was never intended to be a sports car like the 'Vette. It's a cruiser and not a spots car.

Wow nice car, its a shame that Ford dont make the Thunderbird anymore

[02blackbird]

Edmonds Has never driven 1 at 135 mph clean across Arizona on I40. It was a smooth ride. Love it!

[02blackbird]

Must admit a better review than Motor Trends later slam on the 2002 Car of the year!

[thekollegekids]

I saw this car at carmax a cople weaks ago & just fell in love with da t bird! Now i want it so badly!!

[lasuvidaboy]

I love my white 2002 TBird and it still gets many positive comments even here in L.A.. It is NOT a sports car (like the 55-57 it was never intended to be) but it is pretty fast w/it's 3.9 liter V8. The problem for Ford was that it cost 15k more than a Mustang GT convertible even though the TBird is a Lincoln under the great looking body.

i own an 88 thunderbird tc its the most fun i have ever had driving and of course its a stick, with a short throw

[dbonanno]

This car only appealed to old, blue-hairs who didn't care if the thing couldn't get out of its own way. It was made with cheap parts and sold for 40k! WTF!

[malitano]

this was a horrible car

[bestamerica]

new ford thunderbird is still NOT good design..

ford is a lousy poor job..

my thumb down on this ford system..

1 - NO 2 yellow amber lights on the rear taillights for turning sign..

2 - NO good 2 front yellow amber turning signs on the headlights..

3 - NO good gas - in a hole on the right side while a driver on the left side

[NitroGadvRules]

@bestamerica jeez what is your deal, plenty of cars have gas on the right. And in New Jersey you don't pump your own gas. And when the driver and the gas cap are opposite you don't have to worry about having the door hit the gas pump or curb.

[bestamerica]

NitroGadvRules,

hi there,,,

dont use 2 words - YOU / YOUR -  on me,,,

no need it a state of NJ,,,

the state is a cheap and no good,,,

i rather like only land of america,,,

gas in a hole on the right side passage is NOT good idea,,,

gas in a hole on the left side driver is the best and easily than right side

[lasuvidaboy]

@bestamerica Mercedes and BMW don't agree. Their cars have the gas door on the right side just like the TBird.

[bestamerica]

lasuvidaboy,

'

in germany both cars are right side drivers same time right side gas in hole,,,

in america is the left side driver with right side gas in hole is a WRONG design,,,

germanians cars are the best and great vehicles than american thunderbird cars,,,

germanians cars has 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights,,,

americans thunderbirds cars are NONE have 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights

[lasuvidaboy]

@bestamerica Huh? Those German cars (Mercedes, BMW etc.) are left side driven w/right side gas tank door just like the TBird. The reason most U.S. cars don't have amber turn signal lights is that is not the law in the States to have them. The facination w/amber rear turn signal lights is bizarre. They are NOT required in the U.S. where the TBird was marketed.

[bestamerica]

lasuvidaboy,

'

check it out in europe area,,,

mostly right side drivers,,,

in america area is left side drivers,,,

american automakers are too lazy to make amber lights on the american vehicles,,,

also american automakers are hope that drivers can getting accident their vehicles and brings to repair shops many times,,,

because of no amber yellow lights

[lasuvidaboy]

@bestamerica Huh? The new German Audi A5 does'nt have amber lights in the states either. I get the impression you know little about American cars or laws regarding taillights in the States. BTW, most car designers don't like amber turn lights as it does'nt give a clean look to the rear end. The UK is the only country in Europe w/right-hand drive cars. The rest of Europe are all left hand drive.

[bestamerica]

lasuvidaboy,

'

no amber yellow lights are not safety and can happen accident,,,

2 or 4 or 6 amber yellow lights are the best safety and less accident,,,

choice

[lasuvidaboy]

@bestamerica The simple fact is amber colored rear turn lights are not required in the States. The TBird did'nt have them as it was marketed almost exclusively in the US. If the law changes then we will see rear amber lightbulbs on cars sold in the States but until then car designers can use red exclusively-regardless of what some people think are safer.

[bestamerica]

lasuvidaboy,

'

america law is wrong without amber yellow lights on the vehicles,,,

all vehicles must have amber yellow lights on the vehicles,,,

see alot of the school buses have amber yellow lights,,,

the law cannot ban the amber yellow lights

[lasuvidaboy]

@bestamerica The current law is that US passenger vehicles are not required to have amber rear turn signals. That is the law. Ford chose to have a cleanly designed taillights on the TBird and those light meet US standards. Those tailights also resembled the taillights on the classic 1955-57 and 1961-63 TBirds.

[bestamerica]

lasuvidaboy,

'

okay send all Tbirds return to ford company and fix it up,,,

remove all red lights off and put 3 color lights on Tbirds rear taillights

[pearsonee]

@bestamerica What are you talking about stupid this isnt europe.

[bestamerica]

pearsonee,

'

mostly europen vehicles are good designs to have 2 amber yellow lights,,,

right side driver is right side gas in hole,,,
