Absolutely beautiful car to see and drive. I love my 05!

car is probably one of the best remakes of any mid price car. really is a great design . This is a cruiser who cares about hp with a cruiser

@grubbsandiego1 6.1 seconds to 60 is good, but still a bit slow for a v8. Thats not really the appeal of the car though.

@MisterMortombachman It's actually fairly fast. The 2003-2005 had a boost in power compared to the 2002 model. I am always surprised how quickly I can get up to 70 mph when getting on the freeway. With the TBird you just have to punch it and it takes off. There is plenty of power in the 3.9 V8.

[MisterMortombachman]

Beautiful car, but how did they get so little power out of a v8?

Review / appreciate the car that is, not the car you WISH they had built. Grow up and learn to differentiate between the two. PS - you are a moron.

[brad4414]

You are right that it was a tad too expensive to sell well. But wrong on the design flaw of 2 seater vs 4 -seater. You are reviewing the car you WISH they had built, not the car they actually built.

[brad4414]

Nonsense. You need to learn to differentiate between what you don't like, and what is or is not good. Indeed, your critique does not even make sense.

I still get frequent positive comments about my white 2002 TBird-even in car snobby L.A..I's rather have it than the look alike BMWs or Mercedes which are everywhere here. It is'nt a sports car but it is pretty fast w/it's Lincoln V8.

new ford thunderbird is still NOT good design..

ford is a poor job..

my thumb down on this ford system..

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

2 - NO good 2 front turning signs on headlights..

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

The $35,000-39,000 sticker price also was out of the range of many traditional Ford buyers plus many dealers added a $10,000-15,000 premium when the car was first introduced.

Another issue was the T-bird cost approx. $10,000 more than a Mustang GT convertible and that car seats four and has a more usable trunk and is much faster but they are two completely different types of cars.

This car was near perfect. Its alot like the GTO of 04 to 06. Both were great car but both didnt get the warm recption that they should have got
