Neutral: Generally, my personal experience owning a Ford and knowing many others who own them (I am from SE Michigan) has taught me a few things.

Is that a challenge? We have yet to see the new electric Hummer...

I was trying to figure out where I had seen that beltline and headlight styling before! Thank you, lol

Your comment makes sense. It’s similar to how the F-150 had those special reinforcements to begin with in 2015 and it did much better with them in place in the SuperCrew than the SuperCab did without them. And those were basically there to deflect the front wheel it looked like too.

This is something I believe the IIHS is going to start implementing. Recently I saw an article on their website that explained how they are currently conducting research to see if a new crash test should be implemented to evaluate rear seat occupant protection, or if they could modify a current crash test to evaluate…

I guess all of GM’s R&D money went to this new Vette and that explains why everything else they’ve recently unveiled is so... unappealing. At least they seem to have spent the money on something worthy. It sounds so promising, and aside from the rear end, actually looks pretty nice as well! I just hope there isn’t…

There are workarounds to seeing a HUD image with polarized sunglasses now! Lincoln uses a technology called Digital Light Projection (DLP) in their HUDs that allows for a far brighter image, and also gives the light visible to the driver a different polarization angle that is less affected by the use of the polarized…

Ford doesn’t use a Bose stereo, so try again.

I can’t help but think that some of it has to do with comfort maybe? Pickup trucks are really quite roomy and comfortable nowadays, and sedans/crossovers/hatchbacks keep getting lower and sleeker which is great for many things like styling, handling (to some extent, CoG and what not), and fuel efficiency, but they…

I’m not entirely sure why, but CR has consistently longer braking distances than almost any other publication. They also have slower 0-60 times. They tested a current gen Miata and had braking distances come in at 124ft. on dry pavement. Edmunds tested it at 111ft. For 0-60 CR got 6.7sec with the manual, Edmunds…

Lol, this was my first thought too.

I own a 2013 Taurus (the first year of this refresh) and I honestly love it. As a college student, it’s great having the massive trunk for taking trips on the weekends, the interior seats myself and three friends quite comfortably on long road trips too. I can manage over 30mpg highway (with the NA V6), the ride is…

I think that the biggest disadvantage of these platforms is their relative lack of safety compared to newer competitors. The small overlap crash test is what shows the age of platforms the most it seems.

Yes, but that’s an average of all new vehicles sold. Have you seen the MSRPs of the top selling pickup trucks recently? It’s insane, most of the ones I see on dealer’s lots sit around $50k. Not just midsize sedans are sold nowadays. Compare a midsize sedan to a similarly equipped midsize crossover which is gathering…

Yeah, it’s pretty much Toyota, Volvo, and the German luxury brands that are taking this technology seriously I feel.

And the Bowers and Wilkins audio system is amazing to listen to!

I feel like it may be a Ford problem now... I have a 2013 Taurus and was running the stereo only (no lighting, no HVAC, etc) while cleaning out the interior one day and the battery saver kicked in after about 15 minutes. I removed the key and tried to start the car to reset the system and turn on the engine, but it…

I don’t know how much I believe this... I thought the 3.0L TTV6 was going to be a Lincoln exclusive engine? And a rear drive Explorer seems like a strange thing to do with the Bronco coming out around the same time. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just prolong the Fusion CD4 platform’s life to get the Explorer off the…

As regards GAC entering the US market, I was able to spend some time in the GA8 sedan at NAIAS this past weekend and it was very strange to me. I was unsure if it wanted to be a luxury car or a family sedan. The interior had nice seats and pretty good leather, but the lower dash was very cheap plastic and the “wood”…

My only car is this 2013 Ford Taurus SEL with the 3.5L. It’s not the most exciting car, but it’s roomy, comfortable, reliable has decent power, and I can get over 30mpg highway without a problem so I love it. In high school I drove an exceedingly annoying 1997 Cutlass Supreme SL.
