There is a huge difference between what Ford has done with the Mach E and what Chevy did with the Blazer. The Blazer is a 10 years late generic crossover - there is literally no unique selling buying for the Blazer to make anyone buy it vs the Edge, Murano, etc. The Mach E is at least a RWD/AWD EV crossover. The

I get that most ride share drivers have to work with what they’ve got, but a 15mpg CTS-V is making every trip a money loser for this guy.

The problem with the design from a “Mustang” perspective is that the rear window line doesn’t mimic the real Mustang. And the rear should have a little bit of a trunk lid look to it. Of course, then it would just look like an X6

Driver’s cancellations rates are tracked, and drivers could get deactivated for doing it too much.

You’re assuming that the app is showing you accurate information. As a driver, I frequently pull up on people who say “the app says you’re still 5 minutes away.” It’s 2019, but the internet still works like 1999.

Like you, many drivers run Uber and Lyft at the same time. You may be waiting extra while your driver drops off a passenger from the other app, or you might just get ignored if the other app offers your driver a better trip than you are taking. Zero loyalty works both ways. 

Also, Uber is now being shady with the really long trips, hiding the trip length or reverting to the old “45+ trip” to disguise the very long trips.

Since this is RWD/AWD, I wonder if this platform will underpin the next Mustang. How close will the family ties really be?

The leveling has gotten out of hand. You have the same type of monotonous “go here, get 20 of xxx, and bring them back” quests in every zone. You can level up easily by doing these, and then it becomes boring to be able to easily kill whatever monster you need to to get the items. The skills seem to be of no use

This thing will never be considered on it’s own merits because Ford has been hyping “Mustang inspired!!” for so long. 

The same thing happened in Connecticut. They opened a bunch of locations and people went wild. Then after a few months, everyone went right back to Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme died off. I think there is one left in the state at one of the casinos.

So we could see a rebadged Opel Astra (aka Chevy Cruze) come to the US as a Dodge Dart. Or maybe the Opel Insignia (Buick Regal) come over as the new Chrysler 200. My head hurts

Toyota is about to put a Lexus sedan on a Mazda platform with a Mazda engine. We will see how Lexus buyers feel about that. It should be all good, right??

You can’t take a heritage car and bring it back as a rehash of another brand’s car. There is no excuse for Toyota doing this. Toyota knows how to make a sports car, and even if they wanted to be totally lazy, they could’ve taken the Lexus RC and started there.

Sold cars for 7 years and saw this type of scenario regularly - at least 50% of the people coming in had negative equity. It’s just a killer. Even if you buy the least depreciating vehicle, you still are losing the sales tax, the dealer fees, the registration fee etc. Wasted money.

Liberal whites: the more woke they try to be, the more racist they end up being. Just stop

Quality is ALWAYS a management problem. Management puts the constraints on the design process, management agrees to the short cuts in the development process, management decides the materials used, and management decides how the factory floor is run.

So it’s going to look like every other “sporty” crossover, because there is only so much you can do with the CUV body style. 

So dumb. People with 8 year old or older cars are not going to suddenly buy $40,000 electric cars because the government gives them $3000. That still leaves a huge new car payment where none currently exists. If you are driving an old car like that, you either are a cheapskate, don’t believe in car payments, or can’t
