The only models in the Ford lineup that still use the system with the Jukebox are the 2014 Expedition and 2014 Mustang. MFT is replacing those in both vehicles for 2015, AARC is a little late to the party.

They used to do this in the late 90's the FX package was an offroad setup with skid plates, then it essentially became a lariat with cloth seats. As it sits now Lariat is the same as an FX4/2 with lux package.

4.) Shelby GT500

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

MMMMM.... high RPM Horsepower. 8k redline was fun when I drove one.

In March of 2013, then-CEO of GM, Dan Akerson, said that the automaker was working on an EV with a 200-mile range. That following September, GM's veep of global product development, Doug Parks, confirmed that work was underway on a 200-mile EV that would cost around $30,000.

I sold a GT500 in DIB with white stripes, it's beautiful.

We just call it Bank Fee now. There are lenders that will finance literally anyone, so long as you pay the Bank Fee, sometimes $1k or more depending on the borrower's credit. We cannot pass that on to the consumer though, so if we don't own the car for cheap, we can't make the deal. I'm sure there are used car dealers…

Snap oversteer is fun if you know what you're doing, but a Miata is much easier to control. An S2000 has no problem biting the head off an inexperienced driver.

Nope, Ford of Australia uses it in their RWD Falcon and Falcon UTE applications.

Interestingly enough, Apple always has to be the asshole that has to do something different. Their old slogan holds true even today. The rest of the industry went to micro USB as standard in 2011, except Apple.

The pressurized tank has more to do with it being a TZEV I thought. Ford's trainer said that it had to be sealed in order to eliminate the vapor emissions of gas, so that it would have ZERO emissions in electric mode.

Moral of the story: Don't fuck Beetles.

Didn't she do it in under 10 minutes just to prove to Clarkson that he is a ham-fisted jackass that couldn't get a Jaaaaag Diesel around in 10?

If it's anything like Ford's C-Max and Fusion Energi plug in hybrid products, it probably runs the engine periodically for oil and fuel maintenance.

Yup.

Yes.

Still a Beetle. I equate that scenario as dating the ugly sister with a really great personality and dating the smoking hot bitch of a sister with a penchant for lift off oversteer.

If you're having your valet read you this as you drive your luxury or near-luxury car, at this very moment at least one of your hands is probably touching something covered in Alacantara. It's soft, it's modern, it's what you deserve. But what is it, exactly?

Normally, Tom, I would add to your article from the salesman's point of view. While I don't ignore anyone, I agree that this does happen. I have nothing to add to this, all of it is great advice.
