You know the stories are going to be good when the top pic is a B5 S4 wagon.

This exactly.

People have known this for a while. You can get a 612 Scaglietti for 100K or so with the flappy paddle/auto gearbox ... if you want a 6 speed with the pretty gate, 300K might get you in the ballpark. You can expect a similar markup on any recent vintage Ferrari with 3 pedals.

Who could object to some common-sense Mustang ownership regulations such as a mandatory background check before purchase? So many Mustangs are bought at car shows without the seller even checking the driving history of the buyer! Fix that loophole.

I guess they really are AMG-ing all the things. Fuck the cla. Gimme an AMG A-class. America, fuck you and your (somewhat) generic car market. Eh correction, Americans, fuck us and our (mostly) poor taste.

You have to remember that Ford is owned by shareholders whose one and ONLY goal is to see a return on their investment in a relatively short span of time. They don’t give a f*ck about Ford’s long term health, the economy, jobs, or doing what is right. Shareholders expect increasing profits and ROI every single…

Full pull!!

Now that the main idiot-magnet site is gone, can we get rid of the gray bullshit already?

Totally agree, and totally why I’m considering the MKZ over the Fusion.

Fair point on the 3.7L.

Even the insanely neglected MKS and MKT have the 3.7L which isn’t available in a Ford and never was.

Let’s have some fun then. Just comparing the direct shared counterparts between Ford and Lincoln.

If the average consumer didn’t want set ratios programmed in, your CVT would be drastically smoother. Unfortunately, consumers want at least some shift shock, even if it’s synthesized.

Don’t forget that the average ignorant consumer ruins the CVT by wanting set ratios programmed in.

Err...NOTHING like that. I can’t imagine this came from the same company that couldn’t keep the auto in my 2002 Accord V6 running for more than 30K at a time without a rebuild.

I thought it was a spiteful customer who made tractors and tried to tell Ferrari how to fix his clutch problems, then Ferrari invited him to talk to the hand, since the face doesn’t listen to tractor-makers.

Especially the dead ones.

Seriously guys, this is a very sad situation. The rotor or suspension could have been damaged.

While I agree the 124 is homely, the 1.4 will be easier to get more power out of.
