The 15-17 Performance Pack was manual only with exception of the automatic being optional on the 1964 50th anniversary cars with the performance package. In 18-present the base performance package or PP1 is available with both the MT82-D4S manual and the 10R80 automatic where as the Bullitt, GT PP2, and GT350/R are…

No emissions testing currently anywhere in the metro Detroit area, and no vehicle inspections either. 

The Pontiac Vibe was a Toyota Matrix, which was essentially the hatchback version of the Corolla chassis, so in a round about way yes.

The clarity is rated at 47 miles of electric range on the EPA drive cycles and 340 miles total. https://automobiles.honda.com/clarity-plug-in-hybrid
The Volt is rated at 53 miles of electric range and 420 miles total.

Packaging constraints, and the exponentially increased requirement for battery capacity to drive longer range. The closest idea to that concept was the Volt which in later form has had nearly a 50 mile BEV only range, but that tried to use the engine only as a generator more than to drive the car, at least most of the…

The Escape PHEV is a hybrid, not a pure EV, and thus doesn’t need a huge EV range as it has a gasoline engine to power the car the rest of the distance of it’s 400+ mi combined ev + gas range, the fwd hybrid is already stated to be capable of over 550 miles of range and targeting best in class range.

This BEV SUV is a…

Nope it’s had Sync 3 for a while now.

Actually the interior is black, not grey as far as the seats and such. 

Fusion is not going to be built at Hermosillo after end of production, and the Fiesta was assembled in Cuautitlán until this year, which is where they said the Mustang inspired BEV SUV will be built, and Hermosillo would make sense for the Transit Connect in 2021 after the end of Fusion (and likely MKZ) production.

Race proven aerodynamics put to use on a road car. The larger wing assembly is from the GT4 spec race car and has the benefit of generating 550 lb of downforce at top speed.

Yeah I’ve seen several new Rangers, and not just on dealer lots either, but running around. The Ranger is on sale already and the plant’s been cranking them out on over time to meet the pent up demand.

Because he owns one.

This is the ranger sold in the USA and built right here in Wayne, Michigan, at Michigan Assembly, formerly and once again Michigan Truck.

Not moving the goal posts. Every variant of the MK IV Focus was designed to be federalized up until the moment they shut the program off. It’s not like they decided at the start of designing the car that it would never go on sale here it was only at the 11th hour after all the ground work was done when Trump…

Except if they still built them for the Chinese domestic market in China, it would be a Chinese import, not a European one should they want to turn the taps back on and contain the costs. So I’m not sure why you’re saying it can’t come from China, given they didn’t stop plans or production there, only the plan to…

The ST would be made in China for North America, which was the plan for all MKIV Focus variants slated for North America before being axed, and the development costs would already have been spent by the time they killed the program so it should have been already to federalize if not already federalized by now. The RS…

The price doesn't work that way, first of all over seas they include all the on road taxes and VAT into the price of the vehicle. Usually the closer comparison is to straight swap the currency units 1:1 so £26-28k would be $26-28k dollars before tax title and registration, not $34-36k. It would be cost competitive…

Yes, in Europe where diesels were tax advantaged in terms of fuel costs, etc, a slightly less efficient diesel DCT ST sold probably even better than the petrol version, at least to a certain subset of the market because it was more fuel efficient than the petrol version yet not more subtle looking or handling.

Yes it existed, and was available in both body styles:

You are missing something.
