Jake.... I have test ridden one of the new Thunderbirds and , well , what they are saying is NOT the whole story.....at the end of my test ride, the New Thunderbird had ALSO done my laundry, BBQ'd me a steak washed my dog AND cleaned and polished my Bonnie-America.... The new Thunderbird is simply awsome.....The dealer said I couldn't take to a motel unless I purchased one....I was tempted !
