"Ford Thunderbirds: Here's How To Pay Wholesale Prices!"
Ford reintroduced the Thunderbird in 2002 and it quickly won the Motor Trend Car Of The Year" honor (for the fourth time). Basically, it's a recreation of the 1955-1957 Thunderbird in a modern style.
While the critical acclaim and reviews for the new Retro Bird were unprecedentedly positive, the vehicle failed to attract significant consumer support. Less than 10,000 were sold in 2004 and, in 2005, Ford decided to pull the plug.
Our own opinion is that Ford had changed the car much closer to a "luxury" car, and away from the "sports car" driving feel of the old classic. Too bad, it's a beautiful convertible, has all the amenities, and it is indeed a pleasure to drive. But it's true that it's just not a sports car and is more of a blend between luxury and performance
Built on the same platform as the Lincoln LS, the Thunderbird's V8 engine can only be described as "silky smooth". Steering, road feel and response are also very impressive.
But if you're looking for "thrills", this car probably isn't for you. If you're looking for "elegance" and "style" in a hardtop convertible, the Thunderbird may be just right.
No doubt, the Thunderbird is one nice car. We had a 2003 here not too long ago and were indeed impressed by the smooth and quiet ride as well as the handling. And as a "looker" ... yep, it was turning quite a few heads.
