the manual option is one I relate with you on. It would be nice to see more manual optioned vehicles, but like cars and sedans as a whole, it just isn’t what people are buying. At least not enough to justify the production overhead, labor, and materials cost. If they lose 500k car sales, but gain 250k CUV sales (at a…

PSSST... Millennials are in their 30s and buying new vehicles because they have families now. Boomers are buying the cars that weren’t practical when they had kids, but now they can justify the purchase with the kids grown and gone. Millennials are the ones buying family oriented vehicles (CUVs) 

it’s not trolling. it’s true. People complain that automakers don’t offer what they want, but they don’t buy shit when the vehicle they “want” is offered. Then the automakers drop those options because people didn’t buy, and people go back to complaining that the vehicle they want isn’t offered. And the cycle continues

They offered cars in 2017 and 2019 and you never even considered Ford as an option. So they’re not losing any sales to you by dropping those vehicles from their lineup and now they don’t have to pay overhead and labor to build those cars that you didn’t look at.

If a 2020 model year was offered you would have found another reason to not buy it. It’s the Jalopnik way

It’s not an assumption. He said they cancelled cars that he wanted to buy. Then why didn’t he buy one before they were canceled? He bought an Elantra instead. That just means they didn’t offer cars he wanted to buy, but now he’s trying to claim that they got rid of options in their lineup, and now he’s not  a…

Which means that they lost out on exactly Zero sales to you when they dropped the cars from their lineup. You said they canceled the cars you wanted to buy, but the fact that you chose a different vehicle over their old lineup just shows that you didn’t want to buy anything from Ford. They went from not having you as…

I’d say that having sloppy steering is better. The driver’s are going to be distracted regardless, and if they have tight steering, they’re more likely to not notice they’re now pointed in a dangerous direction. But with sloppy steering, they can make those small changes to the steering input without the car actually…

just shut up. You weren’t going to buy one anyways. Everybody on Jalopnik talks about how they would buy a brand new car, but only if the automakers sold it with their specific options, and then they use that as excuse to not buy a car they weren’t actually going to buy in the first place.

20 years? If you need more than 20 seconds to stop being human garbage, you’re actually too far gone

No I’m just letting you know that you’re a garbage human for making people’s lives unnecessarily more difficult and dangerous. At least if you know you’re shit you can change. There’s still time

you’re trash and you don’t belong on the road because you’ve shown that you aren’t mature enough to function in society

it’s not. FWD works well too and even better with snow tires. I don’t blame  you for not being a salesman anymore. I wouldn’t want to be the one to get people into cars I know they can’t afford. Good on you for talking sense into some people though.

I mean, if you want to risk people’s safety on the road doing 70+ mph, why limit yourself to vehicles with SuperCruise? Why not do it to little old ladies with zero active safety features, or freshly licensed 16 year old’s with high nerves and sometimes dramatic reactions?

I’m conflicted by this. In one thought, you’re a reasonable person looking to save people some money. In another thought, you’re a terrible salesman for not trying to convince everybody that they need the $4k 4WD/AWD option.

Saying “I’m not upset” is exactly what an upset person would say.

You sound upset. Don’t go taking it out on your wife and kids, it’s not their fault that not everybody likes Porsche

When I see a middle aged guy in a Corvette, I see a guy that probably worked his entire life aspiring to one day own one for himself, and because the Corvette has always been at a reasonably obtainable price point, he was able to do so.

You’re right. A $60,000 mid-engine, 500hp sportscar brings nothing to the table
