The Ranger Tremor was an audio system upgrade, not an off-road package.

N: Ceteris paribus, sure, I pay attention. When I bought my Fusion I would have sought out a US-assembled one. But the manual-equipped models were all assembled in Mexico, so it was an easy choice: manual > US-assembled (and being assembled in Mexico doesn’t bother me anyway).

Public transit can work great when it is properly aligned with where people live and work. My office moved to downtown a few years ago, allowing me to better utilize our good (for the US) transit network. I went from driving 15k miles/year to 5k/year.

Actually, even last year they sold 174k Fusions.

I recall for a while in the mid- to late-90s those five best-sellers being F-Series, Ranger, Explorer, Taurus, and Escort.

Mainly, it costs more to buy a car these days, and it’s tough to borrow the money to do it.

Not the same ramp. The above is westbound I-70 coming down from the tunnel to Silverthorne. The ramp associated with the accident last week is on eastbound I-70 in Mt. Vernon Canyon.

50 miles is “just outside?”

1st gear: Customers do realize they don’t have to buy the King Ranch/High Country/Laramie Limited trim levels right? Heated leather seats, stitched leather dash, and wood inlays are not required equipment for pickup ownership. A more standard XLT/LT/Big Horn will provide enough creature comforts for thousands less…

Vast spans of I-25, I-26, I-70, I-76, I-80, and other major roadways in Utah, South Dakota and Colorado have been closed.

The Eye is idiotic and should be avoided at all costs.

Don’t forget adding soft serve to the dessert menu.  It’s George’s specialty.

Sure, I was just trying to add context to the original screenshot which just lumped all the Fusions together. There are no hybrid versions of the Edge after all.

Grasscatcher is referring to the latest review from 1/23/2019.

Keep in mind those reported figures include Energi and Hybrid Fusion models as well. When filtering down to the 2.0 gas engine:

Interestingly, the Z8 for sale has the wheels from the Alpina Roadster V8.

So you’re suggesting he get a ‘67 275 GTB/4?  May be a bit out of his price range...

Can attest to this trend. My boss’ boss (COO) traded in his Q7 for a V90 Inscription T6 AWD, and he absolutely loves it.

So happy I can finally import a Fiat Coupe. These Boadicea wheel attachments have been taking up space in my garage for far too long.

Oh kids these days.  Automatics achieving similar or better mileage than manuals is a relatively recent phenomenon.  For the majority of automotive history, if you wanted the powertrain with the best fuel economy, you pretty much always went with a manual.
