The T-Bird is so exiting, Ford announced it will be discontinued due lack of sales! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I believe the key word there was "when" not now. The T-bird was and is a "cute" car...not that many people these days in this performance driven environment want a cute car. Perhaps if GM did something like this ( pictured ) with the GTO then Pontaic would live up to it's credo: "We build excitment":
