If they live in an apartment with no indoor parking it might make sense to plug in at a movie theater. Otherwise it would be cheaper to wait until they got home and recharge at their residential rates. OTOH, most such people probably watch movies on streaming services at home.

Even faster than the Taurus SHO was the Lincoln MKZ when it was ordered with the 3.0-liter turbo AWD. Rated at 400hp/400ft-lb torque it could do 0-60 in as little as 4.8 seconds, edging out the SHO.

If you found an 18 year old Marauder for $9k I’m afraid it would be trashed. They go for way more than that.

At any rate, thank you very much for your animated comments and personal speculations. I will give them all the consideration they deserve. Again, have a nice day.

Unless you were a Ford product planner at the time you can’t assure us there never was a discussion about a Fusion Active within FMC. That’s speculation on your part. Clearly, a Fusion Active never saw production. I never said otherwise. Have a nice day.

Fine. You apparently are the argumentative type and insist on having the last word so we can leave your previous comment as the last word (even though you offer no evidence that what you said was true).

A quick search turns up reports of a possible Fusion Active coming from a wide range of sources, not just C&D. My recollection was correct in that this was being widely reported at the time. 

It appears I did recall correctly:

“The 2022 Ford Focus leaves me wondering why the Active still isn’t a thing here”

Next QOTD: “What is the most illiterate headline you’ve ever seen on Jalopnik?”

‘57 Chevy’s are overrated, overhyped, and overplayed. (And as a boomer I guess I’m supposed to swoon over them.) I never did get the attraction and this one has way too many warts for the price. ND.

Given Captain Kirk’s track record for destroying his ships it’s a good thing this one was on autopilot.

I see that. It looks like Ford now offers the Super Duty cab and chassis for ambulances instead of the cut away cab. it does still offer bare chassis E series for outfitting with whole bodies.

2014 was the last model year for the E series cargo and passenger vans. It is still sold as a “cut-away cab” or bare chassis to be outfitted with special configurations such as ambulances, etc. It is till in production, though.

Anyone who thinks EVs have fewer parts should watch a video of a Munro Associates teardown of a Tesla, Mustang Mach-E or VW ID-4. 

Ten horses got loose. Makes sense.

Judgement call on this one. Just my take on it but: a. It’s a trunk as long as there is a separate lid and no access from the passenger space but is a bed if the lid is removed (see Nash Metropolitan above); b. No, the lid doesn’t make the truck a sedan as sedans don’t have tailgates – it’s still a truck.

Until the discussion gets trunkated.

I had a ‘98 Explorer Sport, same body shell as Ford hadn’t changed it since ‘92. Mine had the 5-speed manual and 4-wheel drive but was pretty basic. Sort of fun to drive in dry conditions but a handful on slippery roads due to the short wheelbase and high center of gravity. Can’t seem to drum up any nostalgic feelings…

As you know, trunks are called trunks because in the earliest days of the automobile they were just that – steamer-style trunks that sat on a shelf on the back of the car (if so equipped) and held in place with leather straps. So as others have opined, a proper trunk is separate from the passenger compartment and…
