A Trax (CUV on Sonic platform) gets 26/34. Sonic sedan gets 28/37. CUVs are right on the heels of “cars”. That’s negligible to the average buyer.

Ford cannot get that Bronco to market quick enough.

If Ford is smart, the vehicles they produce for the European market get certified for the US (or are easily capable of meeting US standards) so that if the oil price shit hits the fan, they can be nimble with new product. But it would still be a while to ramp up, of course.

To *theoretically buy*. They’re ultimately going to buy a RAV4, CR-V or HR-V because their wife told them to.

When you’re on a double lane highway and there’s no other cars for miles around and someone going faster than you comes up from behind and then proceeds to follow you for the next 6 MILES. WHY?!

This is a serious problem and it happens all the time at this one area of my town.

Left-lane squatters
not using the automatic headlight setting on your car
driving around with no headlights on when its pouring with rain, or whiteout snowing

Stanced (won’t dignify with a picture). Booming radio. Yes, all of us in the county LOVE your music, which is always very aggressive sounding.

people who violate the right of way rules to “let someone go” out of “kindness”

Other people.

Tailgating....... don’t need to elaborate on that one!
