If there’s one thing we all know about Millennials, it’s that they have a ton of expendable cash that they spend on luxury cars.

That *swooshing* sound you just heard was the joke going right over your head.
That’s how I do it. And then when I get to where I’m going to offload, I go “See, told you it wasn’t going anywhere...”
He clearly didn’t follow load strapping 101:
Same can be said of SUVs or trucks, or sports cars, or basically anything that isn’t a Camry. You’re not using the vast majority of those vehicles’ capability the vast majority of the time.
It’s not poetry. It’s facts. If you’re too stupid to see the facts for what they are, well that’s on your mom. People will adapt. Those that don’t will perish. There is collateral damage in every war. RADwood.
They would have really pissed off Elon if they called it the Model E. They blocked him from using that name for the Model 3.
if they didn’t want you to use all that runway, then they shouldn’t have paved it.
I would love to see the new Mach-E ad campaign include your glowing endorsement.
I’m in the same boat, even though it’s almost exactly aimed at me (Considering an EV for my next vehicle, 4 seats are almost mandatory, performance is desired, retro styling is interesting...)
I look at it as a huge step for Ford to take towards the future. The Mustang tie-ins are really weird, though. I don’t know that it was necessary to do that.
Count me in. Let’s be best friends!
(DT, reel it in a bit).
Maybe it’s just me, but I’d prefer the old GT period. Honestly, give me the choice between this or an old GT; I’d only take the new GT so I could sell it and use the funds to buy an old GT and have a fat stack of cash.
So your argument is “people have previously bought cars that share engines with very boring vehicles, so clearly this car sharing an engine with a boring vehicle wasn’t a detriment!” but who is to say all of the above examples wouldn’t have been more successful had they had more exotic engines?
people paid millions for paganis with the same engine you could get in a an mb that started out under a hundred k. koenigseggs first few years were with the ford 4.6 before they developed their own, same deal. the gt engine shares very little with the engine in the explorer except the block and fuel system. the heads…
Thanks Test-Driver! I decided to stick to my role as reviewer/writer here and not plug myself in other capacities, but thank you for the thought. Yes, driver training is a bigger part of going faster than modifying your car, for most. At some point, the decision on the car will apply, though.
I’ll continue to do my…
Quade, at one point, I may have agreed with you. However, the more events I go to, the more I see quite silly amounts of money that are circulating a racetrack. At this particular TrackXperienz event, which hosted Ginetta, $100k track car was par for the course. I’ve seen it in many other places, too. It’s quite…
Ford’s stated objective with the “invitation only” purchase of the GT was so that they went to people who wouldn’t hide them away in a bubble. They wanted the GT to maintain visibility, and that meant selling only to people who they felt were likely to take them out, even if only to shows.
If Ford’s actual intention was for these to be driven, their strategy inadvertently ended up making sure that didn’t happen. The limited production run and high publicity around the 2 year limit ensured that they would be selling way over MSRP once that time limit expired. Owners who wanted to make a huge return on…
