I agree but to people who are loyal GM customers just like their parents and grandparents this will be just the thing. My MIL bought a Equinox to replace her Traverse. Never owned anything but a GM. The Equinox isn’t bad but there are many other CUVs that are nicer.

Well now it makes no sense. I thought this was a much lower price point for a much less capable vehicle. I’m seeing big incentives in it’s future.

I think this might actually compete with the Renegade which is a step down from a Bronco Sport.

Totally didn’t realize that there was a new Trailblazer that’s smaller than a Blazer but larger, cheaper, safer, and more fuel efficient than the Trax. I don’t believe I’m the target demographic for this vehicle but as someone that rented a Trax once I hope this replaces them in rental fleets.

The STs were great cars. Unfortunately, according to some, it’s all my fault they are gone. I chose a GTI instead of an FoST.

I think the problem is they are in the same North American market. Since the US is the larger part of that market they only get what sells in the US. Canadian’s like manuals, US doesn’t so no more manuals.

It’s definitely a competitive platform. The Ranger electric seemed more of a homebrew attempt at an electric. 

I agree that it’s important but I hope Ford isn’t just going for a compliance vehicle. 

Ah yes those famous nameplates of Maverick and Corsair. I’m actually really upset that cars don’t come with horsehair stuffed seats and hand crank starters. 

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of Ford’s best selling Model T,or Models A, B, C, F, K, N, R, and S.

The “we do trucks well at Ford” logic makes sense in the short term but shouldn’t they think about why Toyota, Honda, VW, Kia, Hyundai, etc... can make competitive money making cars and they can’t? You gotta give the consumers what they want but c’mon a little planning for the future wouldn’t hurt.

I think they DID forget about it. How else can you explain how it’s still around and still crappy?

True, but Lincoln doesn’t realize that any generation exists other than the boomers. They should be building vehicles that Gen X and the Millenials want and vehicles that Gen Z might aspire to. Make a Mark IX based on the Mustang.

I totally didn’t think about that, but now I believe my idea is 200% better than before.

I was thinking the same about Lincoln, only Lincoln buyers are not really trendsetters and I think that’s what this vehicle needs to keep Ford on the EV path.

I can understand the performance aspect. Tesla definitely makes the case that performance sells EVs better than efficiency. I mean look at the Bolt or the Leaf, great EVs but not attractive vehicles the same way that a Mustang is.

Now I need to go watch the video. I really enjoy watching all my favorite automobile content creators teaming up. Just need Jason from Engineering Explained and David Tracy to work on something together along with the guy from Aging Wheels.

I kinda forgot about the eStang and I was kinda hoping Ford did too.

I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled because I couldn’t remember the name of It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. 

Perhaps he should take the car to an independent shop next time he needs an oil change and see what they say. Or at the very least have the oil analysed. Typically its an oil & lube jockey changing the oil and draining it into a “pan” that he just used for several other cars. I worked at a dealership and I don’t think…
