Hi Norma.

Norma is not here first name, that is Abby, as in Abby Normal

How about this version?

How about this version?

With the trends of the "Ford grill", I could actually see something like this in the TBird future.

I really doubt the Bird will be back.

Wrong demographic for initial future sales and beyond. (Just look at our average ages.)

There would have to be a strong group of past TBird buyers, who had bought the mid 90's Birds, that want another TBird.

I love my 94 TBird, but I don't think that there are enough mid 90's TBird buyers that bought the car for something other than transportation.

But, who knows, I could be wrong.

Anyway, I'd be too old to buy any "new" TBird.

(I read somewhere that many younger folks didn't realize that the Corvette is a Chevy.)

Charley & I were just talking at dinner tonight about the Bird never returning - and I log on to find this thread!

JMHO, the T-Bird has a specific history, and now Ford is more about going green and being economical, given the state of things today, so unless the economy makes a huge upward swing, I don't see the Bird coming back. I'd hate to see them dishonor the badge by gluing it on to a wind-up tinkertoy.

Sounds to me that it's the same standard "Thunderbird Request Letter" reply that they have been sending out since 1997

Re: ThunderBirds Return ???????????

I'll agree with Brad, Jim & HKS. This really sounds like a canned reply from 12 years ago that for some reason hasn't been purged from their canned response files yet. We're already into the 2nd decade of the 21st century so we have distanced ourselves from the turn of the millennium.
