Well firstly you don't have to own a home, there are other forms of investment such as the stock market, and if you had invested in US stocks a couple of years ago you would be looking pretty right now (because of the strong US economy) Inflation NOW is LOW as has been explained to you over and...

It would appear that I do, but your explanation lacks accurate terminology :wink:

As I pointed out you need some stable inflation for a stable economy (around 2%) Your example doesn't make a lot of sense but what I think you mean is prices still rise even though the rate of inflation halved, which is obviously correct.

He has no idea about inflation or the drivers of inflation

Please explain!

Look at Japan to see why that is a very bad idea

2.75% inflation, which is what it is currently in the US, is NOT bad at all - in fact it is pretty much where you want it to be.

The US economy is currently strong and has been for some time, stock markets support this. However consumer confidence isn't, probably because you are coming out of a period of higher inflation and things seem to be very expensive. Once you get used to those higher prices and they don't keep...

It is way more complex than that. The ideal is low and consistent inflation (around 2%). Less than that is bad (especially if it goes negative as it did in Japan), significantly more than that is also bad. There are several measure of inflation, retail, consumer, business, specific business...

I agree but my point was a 30% increase in price is not anything out of the ordinary when considering inflation of 25%, especially as manufacturing inflation is probably higher than domestic inflation.

You are just comparing a truck to a coupe, which is apples and oranges.

You do know Ford make very slim profits don't you? In 2023 they made about $3k per car. Mustang Blue had a margin of 7.2% in 2022 (the ICE Mustang sales)

Yes but that is how inflation works!

So you want Ford to sell it for less than they make it - great business idea!

So in reality it is about the same! 30% over 6 years compared to inflation of 25.2% in the US over the same period.

The S650 boot is a slightly different shape to the S550. The S550 Ford rubber mat fits but doesn't quite sit flat on the left rear corner in the recess. Near enough not to be a problem if moving from S550 to S650 but if you are buying new something to consider.

Did a Rapid Red Mustang ever reach the UK? They were showing up on the Ford stock list for a while but I've never seen one advertised for real?

Can't agree with that and it seems many others have found the same in their S550. The OEM sub ruins the sound, replacing it allows the bass to show musicality and tightness. It isn't huge increase in bass but that isn't what I wanted, just more control of the original output. If you want to see...

On the contrary. The source of information is critical in determining the validity. Articles in the MSM that do not quote a reputable source are valueless opinion. If I express an opinion without evidence or data then it is also valueless, hence why I regularly quote the source of information...

Political bias is not such a big deal outside the US for sure (real or perceived)
