Yeah but its self reported data from the sort of people who subscribe to Consumer Reports. As opposed to say going to the leading BMW forums if you are interested in a particular model. Example: I learned vastly more about the IMS/RMS issues on the 996 911s, Boxsters and Cayman models from Rennlist/Pelican than you…

Looks pretty digital to me. The ease with which he is able to extricate his had to tip his hat leads me to believe this is a CG composite of some sort.

If you want to go deep into it read this great Detroit News wrap-up, but in short: Asian plants are impenatrable, but Ze Germans have a "works council" model that they could be pressured to adopt and they'd need a union to help with it.

Counterpoint:

These "assclowns" are your neighbors who are trying to get by, just the same as you.

You can't compare a $21k fusion for a $35k MKZ. First off, the MKZ has the 2.0T engine, so right there you are talking $26k Fusion. Second, if you ever drove the two, you'd know the MKZ is a whole lot better in terms of comfort and road noise. If you're going to give crap to Lincoln about using the Fusion platform,…

So what is the Lexus ES if not a tarted up Camry?

Why is Lincoln always being put down by the naysayer's? Comparing a 35K MKZ to a 21K Fusion is absolutely a falsehood. I spent 30 years in the automobile business, plus completely restored 5 classic automobiles and I know all there is to know about cars. I carefully looked at a new MKZ at the local dealer's showroom…

The designer thing doesn't work for me. :(

$5 million a day doesn't come out to 274 years to recoup $20 billion.

I like it base on one fact : Return on investment.

I will forever think that Ford is nuts for not bringing the Mondeo wagon stateside as a Fusion:

Michelob Ultra truck...and nothing of value was lost.

Defenders (preferably the 110, because wagon)

god, can you imagine the security concerns? and the eminent domain/land acquisition costs?

Wow, I'm glad you have the ability to boil incredibly complex social and political issues down to one variable! But my only question is — why aren't you applying these amazing skills elsewhere? The world needs your brilliance! The middle east, the recession, PED in major league sports — you could solve all of these…

If you can't use MFT correctly

MFT isn't great but it isn't as terrible as people make it out to be... it's mostly just negative hype to get people to click on articles a la the "LETS ALL RIDE TESLA'S DICK" articles. My car has MFT and it was frustrating for all of 2 hours before I figured out how to use it and now I really don't have any…

I'm so sick of the whole MyFord Touch thing. Its not a perfect system, but my Mom has it on her Explorer and she doesnt mind it, the only issues she has had with it is sometimes it took a while to boot up (Fixed) and she would like some more buttons, thats it. No pre-release testing can match the size of general sales…
