IMAGE-IMAGE-IMAGE, the three most important facets in marketing cars. And most other devises and appliances. The Ford Mustang was nothing but a repackaged Falcon but set sales records. Only emasculated men drive mini vans. And the horsepower wars are getting silly. A true 300 horsepower engine would pull a loaded 18 wheeler at a sustained speed in excess of 70 mph. It is unlikely that the Nissan V-6 engine could do that. But then we seem to be VAIN-VAIN-VAIN. And the marketers can play us for all we are worth. The political marketers are sizing us up and picking the IMAGE to paint their man to get our attention and vote with little regard to his real qualifications. Given the choice of a 177 I-6 Mustang or a 260 V-8 Falcon most people went with the Mustang. I hope we do better in up coming elections.
