If you could stand driving a Subaru for that long, why was is this even a question. Just get another one, new or newer, with leather seats. And if the one you can afford only comes with cloth, aftermarket leather is not particularly expensive compared to the car itself, and often better quality than the crap the OEMs…

I can’t even begin to imagine being paranoid enough to see a need for this sort of nonsense, even if it worked properly. And was free.

No doubt. 100% increase in sales, whoo hoo! But if they went from 1000 to 2000 cars sold - sad trombone when you spent multi-billions to get that first sale. And even quarter to quarter and year to year is largely meaningless without more context. How many postings here about big year over year gains the past year or…

Happy to be of service!

The answer is definitely NO, they are not. And double-digit growth from tiny numbers is still a tiny number of cars, especially given the cost to develop a modern car platform.

It’s just a styling decision. There is no difference in NVH if you spend the money to make sure there is no difference.

Not just you, my favorite of the ‘80s mid-engine Ferraris too. That bit of extra space makes them a LOT more useful and much more comfortable if you are taller.

No they won’t. It’s still dirt cheap for a truck, and cheap for a new vehicle in general. As I said, Ford is selling every single one of them they can make in very short order. And the vast majority of those they build are NOT the cheap base model anyway - those have been REALLY hard to get. I have literally never…

At least the front didn’t fall off.

Good for Rich, he will get plenty of views out of this.

I hated those wheels in the ‘80s. I hate them even more in black in the 2020s.

Montana wants a word. And most of Texas. At least as far as the boredom of driving through the place - and they are both a lot bigger.

ROFL!

Repressed poor people can definitely cook. I had some deep fried pork chops in MS once that could have killed me and I would have died with a smile on my lips.

I travel all over the country for work. Been doing that for almost 30 years. I have been to every state but Nevada. There is no worst, drivers suck everywhere in the US. *Everywhere*. The places with decent roads tend to have even worse drivers, so it all balances out to a giant pile of suck from coast-to-coast.

Since when has outre styling been part and parcel of being a muscle car? The best of them were always the innocuous sleepers. Little boring Plymouth sedan (or better yet, wagon) with a monster hemi under the hood, for example. Why advertise the speed?

Frameless windows work fine if you have the engineering budget to have the automagically roll up and down into the seals as the door is open and shut. So I would call that a bit of a luxury feature - all the big German coupes have them.

Don’t attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. They can barely hire decent writers here (Tom McP *very* much excepted) why would you expect them to have decent web development talent?

I have never cared about these in the slightest, but in today’s world that is a hell of a lot of car for only $6400. NP all day long.

The absolute cheapest F-One Fiddy, which only has two doors and is more sparsely equipped than the cheapest Maverick, is still $8K more expensive. That is a BIG gap if you don’t actually need to do the things a base F-150 can do that a Maverick can’t. Comparable 4dr F-150s are more like $15K more expensive. That gap…
