My grammar stands corrected. I wasn’t an English major...

I would suggest to Nissan that part of its “plan” better be ethics training for its dealers and salespeople. I tried for over a year to buy a 370Z. Had cash in hand. But over half a dozen Nissan dealers I went to apparently preferred to play ‘bait and switch’ games with pricing rather than actually selling me a car.…

Some of the comments by Tesla fans in this thread sound frighteningly like the chants of Trump fanatics at his rallies. Lots of anger and strong emotion trying to drown out objective facts.

This is fine for California, where many trucks are just a fashion accessory to drive to the mall. But I can’t see a lot of people who need a work truck buying this. I don’t think many contractors in Indiana or plumbers in Michigan are going to pick this over a F150.

One of the few certainties in life right now is that this car will only come with an automatic transmission. Acura hasn’t had a manual transmission in its line since the 2014 TSX, and I bet they won’t be smart enough to bring it back in this car.

We have only ourselves to blame. If people had bought more manuals, demanded more manuals, they would be making more of them. 

All the grey, silver, white, and black cars out there... those are the colors of asphalt. Seems like camouflage, the cars blend into the road.

Actually, I’m one of the people who actually would buy a car like this, if it had a manual (well, maybe not this very car, the convertible’s price will likely be out of my range, but I’d stretch for the LC500 coupe, and I’d go for a Supra if it had a stick).

I get it Michael. Ford thinks a lot of consumers aren’t all that smart, and that more will probably buy this thing if it has the name ‘Mustang’ on it.

I’ve been driving for almost 50 years (yeah, I’m old, ugly too). >120 cars spread out over nearly 50 years isn’t that many. Plus some of them were such heaps projects that they didn’t get too many miles on them.

Not that it matters, but after my successful defense, I went on to get a Master’s degree in biomedical science, a second Master’s degree in business (MBA in Finance and Marketing), and have been the founding CEO of three companies in a >35 year career. As far as ‘Koch Bros’, I’m a proud member of the Socialist party…

... and this comes as a surprise to anyone?

I think this is the ultimate Jim Hackett stupidity, another step in his insane campaign to turn Ford into a ‘mobility and truck company’. His wet dream seems to be electric trucks, and that’s what he thinks he has with this Mach E monstrosity.

My (late) mother-in-law was a left foot braker. Having her brakes done was a 2 to 3 times a year event for her. As well as replacing brake lights about as often, since they were on continuously when she drove.

The roads that existed in the 1940's in the New York area are pretty much the same ones we have today. It was possible to drive from LaGuardia into Manhattan back then simply because there were so many fewer people and cars.

Reasons I’d MUCH prefer a coupe version of the WRX to the 4 door -

But do any of them have a manual transmission?

Merde! I didn’t know it was gone. It’s too bad, I think it was the prettiest and most interesting car to come out of Peugeot in quite a while. 

How about the Citroen DS3 and Peugeot RCZ?

I say live and let live. There are so many different ways to have fun driving. Not everything has to be an intense ‘purists’ car. I personally would also much prefer an original Fiero to this, but whatever floats your boat. The point is to just have fun driving, and not give a crap what anyone else thinks. If you get…
