Not with that graph.

Dude, that's a flat trend since 2nd qtr. 2019... Not sure that makes your case at all. Heck if you only look at 2020 its downward sloping.

That move was soo dumb yet somewhere an MBA at Ford is shouting “Ha! I was right!” as Fusion sales tank... Although I don’t think they can claim the ecosport as any sort of success.

They did plan for expansion, the Taurus was meant to fit the 4.6 and the end was already near for the 5.0 when the Taurus came out. Remember the US phased it out of cars by 1995. I know it limped along longer in aus, emissions were ok there I guess.

Yes that too, they were prettier too.

My father had a first gen SHO, I don’t think I would mind one as a commuter car. It might not be the fastest but it would be interesting.

The 302 would not fit. It was replaced by the 4.6 with the express purpose of fitting in our FWD future (cause in 89 everything was going to be fwd). This stuck the 4.6 with its odd short length and tall height proportions that limited it’s displacement and Ford only ever put it in one FWD car despite all the…

Close but not quite,

There isn’t much margin in cell manufacturing, most of the cost is coming from the supply chain below them. Ford will probably does what Tesla is doing and have the cell manufacturer co-locate with the pack building plant. They will make what ever you want if you can guarantee the sales.

Coming from the battery industry this doesn’t sound realistic. The cell manufacturing process is pretty proprietary and hyper competitive, even tesla hasn’t moved that far down the supply chain. Per their battery day Tesla wants to but everyone who is in the business chuckled, Samsung/LG/Panasonic would sell their own…

If your familiar with drum breaks and XJs in particularly... its shrug worthy. The drums are effectively there for looks. 

The LS3 is notoriously problematic, oil passageways from the head to the block tend to get cramped when you have to accommodate runners and pushrods. As my dad found out you can push an Corvette LS3 to it’s limits with street tires...

My go to as well. I can afford better but I always come back to the same quandary of “but how much better are they?” and get the firehawks again.

It really does look like a 240z body kit. I wonder if you could swap front clips with the current car.

In their defense it’s mainly a plastic extension, but yeah have to update the safety features.

It’s a 240z body kit on a 370z, none of the lines match.

Check the 370z, adjust for two turbos and their associated plumbing, you’ve got your curb weight.

It’s a face lifted 370z, same exact roof-line, wheel base, and width. They borrowed a newer motor from Infiniti and have probably bolted it to the same transmission and suspension. If the floor pan has changed I’ll be amazed. Next time someone criticizes FCA over the challenger I’m gonna point to this mutt.

The US, pointedly, is not a signature to the Moon treaty (what you’re probably thinking of). No country with space ambitions is, probably because they all imagine having an economic benefit from space exploration/colonization some day or at least want to preserve the possibility.

You posted all that, but you aren’t familiar with loctite?
