For me it's a bigger fear of man made objects under water

It’s smart business to use an Ecoboost for your flagship because flagships sell your lower end cars and it helps the more they have in common with the lower end cars.

Completely agree about the Jeep as I own a XJ and JK. I was going to ask why no Jeep until I read the explanation.

Good points, I was picking up on point that there were a lot of comments from people that didn’t understand why there wasn’t a Jeep or other popular offroader included, and the reason was the popularity of cars (“car culture”) vary in different parts of the world and when living in US or any country for that matter…

All those cars except the M2 are way more expensive and the M2 is at least $8g away. Just comparing the RS at MSRP it looks like a bargain. 40 g is a lot of money and I would like to be able to buy a Vette or Caymen with that money but those cars will never go that low.

My kids don’t care about ride quality, only my dad does. The RS is the family car of choice if you need 4 doors and a manual transmission and more then enough performance. There are a couple of other cars that are in the category like STI. An RS would be easier to live with then a coupe or a roadster. Honestly you…

I considered the RS to be a very good value proposition for the performance, the only car that was mentioned that is actually cheaper happens to be a Ford Mustang, but that’s not in the same category, IE, two doors, not performance focused like the special mustangs, and most likely needs more options then the RS to be…

It's $4000 cheaper, starts at $35900. Obviously that's the base price.

How about 4 vs 2 doors? $8000? How about resale? Maintenance costs? Weak strut towers? There are lots of reasons.

Not entirely convinced there are any faster 4 doors for the money which is $35900. I think Ford hit its performance/price target. Obviously that doesn’t necessarily make it the best car but bench comparing it to other cars should look pretty good.

The original comment was that a lot of people in USA don’t know the car culture in different parts of the world. He was not implying anybody favoring domestic cars over foreign cars, only that the popularity of cars both domestic and foreign varies from the US.

It needs a follow up video of what it was like to return the car to really get a sense of the companies business plan.

Just nit picking but the front brake on a bicycle is on the left while the front brake on a motorcycle is on the right. I guess the designers didn’t collaborate.

I was comparing the weights of the cars not the price.

Its not worthy of the SHO I don’t think based on this article, it deserves sport. Not sure if the current SHO is even worthy.

Really disappointed too, I guess it’s not a “Ford Performance” product like ST, RS so to be expected. My god it’s heavy though, it's as much as SS and the SS is much bigger just as luxurious (if not more so) and has a V8.

So how many times has he lost to his teammate? I think Button beat him once?

In my opinion electricity is way more dangerous then gasoline, especially high voltage DC. 110 AC is actually safer then 110 DC of the same power rating because AC tends to travel on the outside of the conductors (look at monster speaker wire with a non conductive core) where DC saturates the core, which is where your…

Unibodys have the potential to be lighter and stronger because you are stressing the whole body of the structure instead of hauling it around with a ladder frame. The Ridgeline weight compared to a Tacoma is a apples to apples comparison since they are two different vehicles with different features. The independent…

I enjoyed your article and tend to agree with you about unibodies. If you look at extreme off roaders they use a space frame, like trophy trucks, buggies, rock crawlers. They either are completely built of tube or tube welded to a production ladder frame. The only difference that I see between a space frame and a…
