Well two things are probably working in Ford’s favor - they have some fairly fuel efficient SUVs and CUVs in the stable and aren’t entirely dependent on a bevy of thirsty BOF trucks (essentially all thier old SUV stuff) and they are going to continue making sedans in the Lincoln brand as well as sedans and hatches…

Might be the so called “ intelligent “ loss of sales. You trim the excess and lose volume but end up with greater profitability in the end.

Naw, its obvious Munro’s reputation is important to the success of his company and he calls it like he see’s it and for the most part if it hurts some feelings so be it although I sense some reluctance on his part to flat out call the domestic auto industry a bunch of dumbasses with thier heads stuck in the sand which…

The most disturbing trend when I watch Sandy and Autoline Afterhours -

Heh... I remember when people used to say that about anybody taking more than a 4 year note which was still considered foolish since depreciation killed value if you couldn’t pay a note off in 2 years or less.

Agreed, I’m 15 years from retirement and once my two dogs pass i’m through with pets of all sorts.

Meh.. given the looming environmental collapse and as resources become ever more scare in an increasingly consumerized world it will inevitably lead to a global conflict which as post WWII Germany shows can have a decidedly positive effect on male population numbers (IIRC nearly 50% of the males in Germany post WWII…

Man, I’m surprised all these years later they haven’t done a remake which is good I think since they would no doubt try to out do the somewhat absurd performance of the plane in the first movie.

Jesus that has to be one of the worst feelings for the 2 seconds your still conscious as your sucked out of the plane and know your about to fall to your doom.

Well not really, I think about .005 milliseconds after it showed up here and elsewhere people correctly called Johan’s tenure to be a short one.

To be fair to GM those split-bumper Camaros did really really shitty in the 5 mph test and didnt sit too well with insurance companies.

Its offered the same general sillohuete for well over a decade if you include the 1st gen cars. Its tired design language especially in light of the fact that the Camaro has a much larger design catalog to choose from if they want to remain fresh and not completely break with tradition or they could do like Mustang…

I’ve seen in the wild shots of the refereshed Camaro in grey and it looked much better than what GM provided. I’ll ultimately reserve judgement for a real live look but like the yellow hell beast Ford used to debut the 2018 refresh I’m convinced US car companies go out of thier way to shoot “err mah gawd <<insert…

Oh I do, it might not be California bad but I’m no stranger to long back ups and stop & go traffic anywhere from 10 minutes to two hours or more plus the ten lights or so on my five mile commute to work ( in my AO installing traffic lights is seen as a speed control measure and necessary evil for retail space…

Team Mustang has said they’ve benched the likes of Porsche when developing the S550, especially when it came to the GT350 ( easily the sweetest handling Mustang ever ) plus as details about the GT500 emerge they have been making jabs here and there with the most notable being “ venom kills demons “ remark made at the…

Yes, they are still in rental fleets, this past week I almost had a 6th gen rental car.

>>shrugs<< the difference in performance is a helluva lot less than the difference in sales.

When Tesla comes crashing to the ground! ICEV manufacturers and Big Oil will have secretly colluded to destroy Elon musk and doom the human race moslt likely with rumors going around that Musk was found bludgeoned to death with a “Fish carburetor” 

Alpha curse - best value for the money out of the three when you figure in total performance but just isn’t selling well at all.

Ethan Couch? Yeah that fucker still needs to get his comeuppance.
