Having followed the automotive world (as well as worked in it off and on) for the last 50 years, I think Ford has made something wonderful in this properly engineered vehicle. I came here to say that IF ONLY they put half as much effort into the EV and luxury vehicle segments, they could be an all around winner. Despit…

Except for the 4 door T-Birds. Those are not appreciated in the appropriate amount, which is none.

Came here to post this. Was not disappointed.

We were all ready for Pontiac to be over. Amiright?!

There, I fixed it for you.

Please consider the press release as a pre-screening for intelligence, like the Nigerian prince scams, purposefully written with bad grammar and word choice to make sure they are dealing with a dunce. A fool and his money, as it were.

I was thinking more along the lines of a small mid-size hybrid station wagon. 200bhp would be easy from a Toyota-like drivetrain. In fact, a Camry hybrid wagon might derail this minivan craze. Okay, SUV, but they ARE minivans, Forrest.

You might want to come up with buyer information on this. How much is fleet sales and small business / contractor sales? 

To be fair, in this crash test, the engine was removed from the 59, so arguably much more damage than had it been installed.

Or, you could own a trickle-charger that monitors your battery’s charge and tops up as necessary. (apartment renters: add rip here)

Nearly all new and used cars are not investments. They are depreciating goods, and they should be managed as such. There are some “investment” cars, but those are usually not driven. The issue with new versus used is how willing one is to handle the initial depreciation. With that depreciation comes a known quantity,…

It’s got two things going for it: 1. it is not a minivan, or what some people delusionally call an SUV, and B. they didn’t call it a Gran Coupe, even though they are going for that vibe. So, those are the only two things.

Yes, and it loosely means “murderer” in Spanish, so doubly troubling model there.

The shitter’s full takes on new significance.

I voted NP, because I know for the right person with the cash, this is just the thing they want. They may even get a few bucks off. But it is not for me. Having sold these about that time, I can say this one looks very original, and that has to appeal to someone. Not me.

Big Pharma?

Hospitals are profit centers now. They need to be optimized for normal peak capacity to make the highest profit. Same with grocery stores and magical just in time inventory control. Let the workers take up the slack in both cases and throw them a little extra overtime. Viva la capitalism!

I’m all in on stocks and bonds. This is when big money starts buying (NOT that I am big money.) What is that old maxim about buying low, or something?

Hmmm, “motherfucking sundowning asshole.” I like it. I’ll make a note of it to use it more in conversation. Also, nice handle.
