I'm glad I am not the only one who saw that.

Neutral: I drive fairly conservatively. When I hit a corner, I don't exactly slow down much but I also don't throttle down. Fast starts/stops are things I try to avoid. I'm pretty enthusiastic about maximizing fuel economy. Anyway, I have a 2013 Cruze Eco with the auto. It's rated at 39 highway and I routinely net…

My allergies are really giving me trouble today. Wow.

It's always so nice to get real world owners views on vehicles. Thanks for the heads up!

Fair enough. Does the 4 make a discernible difference in handling?

Is your CTS a 3.6?? I'm assuming it is. Is it possible that the 2.0 has a little turbo lag that is part of the issue? Just curious.

I've recently driven the 2.0T in the ATS and came away rather impressed. The power delivery was smooth and progressive. It was refined and powerful. Truly I think it's an engine that is well matched to the car overall. I never felt like it was underpowered. No where near it.

Matt you have to use the term "High class" at least once. Because 4:20.

It's a very poorly calibrated/built DCT. I went through 2 transmissions in less than 12K miles from new. Not a fan. I have since learned that Ford tends to cheap out on the components in their transmissions.

Make sure she gets the manual. The Powershift is garbage. Pure garbage.

Just me or does this seem more canyon like than it should? It might just be the angle.

That I don't know. I feel like if they had a chance, it would have been with a more aggressive renaissance a la Cadillac. But, to each their own and this still may work. Their sales are trending upward with each new model introduced the last I checked. That's positive progress. Also, they are going after different…

I feel like (on the outside especially) the new MKz is a strong enough departure in the looks department. Interior? They could and should have done more. They are doing a lot more now than they have in recent memory to differentiate Lincoln and Ford. It may not be perfect but it's definitely a start.

I had one of the later ones without the goofy looking steering wheel. It wasn't perfect but I grew to like it's open and airy feel. Also, simple and well laid out. Material quality was awful but honestly, I never had a problem with that car. Went over 100,000 miles and no mechanical or other issues. I once drove up…

I really wish I could recommend your reply a million times.

Actual similarities to it's FoMoCo platform mate. I see reviews all the time that just simply beat a new car because it shares a platform with another car in the automaker's stable. Enough. If there is something truly glaring that ties it to the Escape, I want to know about it. Otherwise, I just want to know how the…

Had to look up the word "nascent" thanks for the expansion of my vocabulary!

It just never really tickled me like the second Probe did. Wait, that sounded really bad.

First gen? Nope. Second gen? Yep. I loved it. It may have sucked but I loved it. I feel it's overall look is still relevant today.

Dammit my other zero didn't type! I meant to write .0023%.
