Yeah I don’t know what the answer is honestly because while sales are hot they might not always be so investing in ramping up production could be short sighted. But if ford can’t find a way to maximize their profits it’s time for a change of leadership. 

GM has been “developing” a mid engine corvette for decades. All GM had to do is was double check the engineering work. design the production process and click print.  

well yeah there’s huge demand for the maverick hybrid. It’s the least expensive vehicle ford makes, it’s one of the most fuel efficient vehicle they make. There is years of pent up demand for a micro truck, and ford is no longer making small cars. and they discontinued the transit connect. So you have a product that Co…

Here’s a concept, Produce more vehicles. Seeing a headline like “next year’s car is already sold out” is a good indicator that you maybe aren’t making enough product.

Ford F350 King ranch Dually. All the “he must have a small penis” jokes I thought the only good thing about these trucks were that they were big. but I had to drive one for a landscaping job at a campsite and Holy crap I get it. I get everything. The luxury/comfort. having all of the space on the INSIDE of the truck…

i’m with you on the Charger. Is the the best/fantastic at anything probably not but it is GOOD at a lot of stuff. and especially with the Hemi it is so effortless in the way it moves you have to be a totally psychopath to say you are “bored” driving it. Also the internet would have you belive that it is such a large…

90s s10s were at 3,000 pre covid. this was a 5500-6500 pre covid with a clean title. the salvage title is the real question mark but GM did not make that many 4 door s10s so that muddies the water quite a bit.

Insurance costs will be much higher on the maverick than the S10. As well as taxes and registration. Also you can sell the s10 for little depreciation where as the Maverick will depreciate sharply after the initial purchase so this will effect your calculations greatly.

nobody is buying a 2002 pickup truck and planning on putting 200,000 miles on it.  This is either a hold-over car for someone who can’t afford anything more expensive. Or something to take hunting/camping or tow a boat on the weekends.  the only thing that is questionable is the salvage title there needs to be…

yeah I really like the Kona but it is in fact pretty low for a crossover. 

A lot of these cars have a very wide price range / options ect. I’m sure if you got a base model Kia steltos you will feel some kind of way about it with only 146 horsepower on tap and a cvt i’m sure it is a very blah car to drive. But go up to the higher trims you have a 200 horsepower turbocharged engine with a 7…

imagine that adding a turbo and more electronics to an engine bay about as small is a challenge for packaging.  Its a four banger nobody is gawking at the engine bay anyways. 

I’m interested what a Sweedish van would even Look like.  Hopefully it changes the game! 

I’m hoping we can get some more performance options from non german brands in the small crossover space.  How about a GR - Corolla cross.  Or a subaru Crosstrek WRX.   Maybe just putting coilovers on a mazda cx-30 will be good enough.  

I like sedans and hatches but I bottomed out my Elantra on a normal ass road going 40mph (the speed limit) my town’s roads are too shit for a car so low to the ground so next go around I will be looking for something with more ground clearance. Honestly some of the smaller crossovers are just hot hatchbacks with some…

it’s the fear of your kid in a civic vs an f250. Thinking putting your kid in a larger suv will offer more protection, the only problem with that theory is that now your kid has more mass and so you are adding a ton more energy into the crash and making it harder for your kid to stop. Modern cars are extraordinarily…

the safety aids of there for when you slip up and perfect for teenagers. Also reverse cameras became mandatory model year 2013 so avoiding on of those will get you a pretty old car. 

toyota hybrid batteries start failing at the 200,000 mile/10 year range. so it’s a gamble as to what would end up more economical a gas Lexus RX with 75k miles for $20K or a hybrid with 150k miles for 15k. a replacement battery is going to be around 6 grand so I would say go for the gas model especially if they are…

there is practically Zero marketing for their electric bike. I just visited the HD website you have to go looking for the livewire to even know that it exists. You would think a cool electric bike product that they spent so much money on R&D and are having difficulty selling there would be more push from a marketing…

The most memorable racing game for me was top gear rally for n64 because of all the levels a car could be damaged. Huge repair bills would make you drive more cautious or try and break the computers cars without damaging your own. Axles, intercoolees, radiators, shock absorbers , differentials could be damaged and…
