Yeah, it just seems like a hail mary attempt at getting an electric with some success, and they're trying to use the Hummer name to get some attention.

Its prob testing with the Bronco at night

The issue was never about V engines not fitting in the frame, the issue was marriage to the body and even then it was simply because that the engine bay and crash protection for V engines had not been engineered. If you're travelling to remote areas like I do, it's easy to carry tools and spare parts like a fan belt. If an electric fan dies in the middle of nowhere, it's a lot harder to fix that and get yourself out of trouble.

I can see how you might not like it, but as for it not aging well - I'm not buying that. I like it.

There are a few Tellurides running around town here - I see them pretty regularly at the grocery. Generally, it's a very successful design compared to Kia's other attempts at unique utility styling. However... the scale and vertical division between (headlight) [-------------grille-------------] (headlight) is not going to age well. The scale and layout are more suited to a concept car... a sort of deviance from the norm that garners attention on the show stand and it has served it well for launch. The more the design ages and becomes more prevalent though, the more off-putting the lack of a visual reference point on the front end will become. /soapbox

Outside of the GT350/500 and maybe the Bullitt, the current Mustang nose looks "off" to me. Its ok, but I much prefer the first gen styling.

It was never the frame, it was the body.

Yet Ford sold over 3 million vehicles in 2019 and Tesla sold 367,000. Hardly the "past". PS - Ford is profitable every quarter as well.

I only have heard of two being delivered. My November production date only slid 3 weeks to Dec 5th.

Speaking of sunvisors, one thing that I would like to see is a second thin visor behind the primary one. Sometimes, it would be beneficial to have the primary one for the side window and the 2nd one for the windshield. Back in the '80s I had a Taurus company car that had that. Apparently, It was such a good idea that they abandoned it. LOL.

Mr Dye, an electrician, might just be able to obtain one of those "up to 200" trades buyouts? Its to the point where I have no confidence in ANYTHING involving my union.The top IUAW leadership has to be replaced,for sure.A new example of good ethics must be set from those at the very top.I am also an electrician.Imagine if I was working with Mr.Dye {I dont know him personally or if any of the allegations are true} or anyone else who had such a good "deal" going for themselves. Think that they would have any concern for me as a fellow union member in the trades?I would say NO ,because siding or sticking up for another ordinary union member may place his "deal" in jeopardy.Wonder why 'some' management has zero respect for 'some' of the local unions?Let me also add the the Company is playing a big part in all this.By selectively handing out ,'The keys to the kingdom', they are purposely dividing us.I have no sympathy for anybody who gets legally punished as a result of these investigations.Jail aint nothing.Just wait until the lawyers get done with em!I hope GM wins its lawsuit against FCAU.It wont be a clean sweep until the Company is also held ethically responsible.All union members deserve a level playing field.

From the company bulletin: "In some instances, STEP separations and SRI retirements may be delayed based on the operating needs of the employee's work stations." My immediate supervisor has told me I will be one of those held beyond April 1st.

You're right, my arms sit perfectly with no discomfort on long drives. In my last vehicle I constantly moved my arm from the rest up to the window sill then back, trying to find a comfortable spot.

"Nope, Bronco is first of next generation T6 and set up for V engines 2.3 EB is base engine, all other engine options are North American centric." I hope you don't mind me quoting your GMinsidenews post jpd80

Nothing to do with drive modes but has anyone noticed how perfect the armrests are in the Nautilus (and most likely all the other Lincolns)? I swear every new car I've bought in the last 20 years either me or my wife or both of us has had a complaint about the armrests - too short from the door, too much angle where your arm wants to slide off, weird angle sloping downward, or being at the wrong place for one particular driver. The Nautilus is perfect for me like exactly perfect. And my wife says it's "fine" so that's a first for us... a little thing but on a long drive it's irritating as heck when your arm wants to slide off - that was the deal on our FPace. How can you screw that up? So really liking that small but appreciated thing.... not as annoying though as sunvisors that don't slide over. Thank God American cars do that, as all imports we had didn't... unforgivable. ?

Many years ago..I was the manager of a Montgomery Ward Auto Express. MW sent me to the Michelin tire plant in South Carolina for tire training. I learned many things about tires and what you had was known as in "impact/pinch break" to the inner rubber liner of the tire casing. it is caused by many things, chiefly curb strikes but also potholes too that were not enough to make the tire fail immediately but caused a small break in the liner as the rubber was pinched between the rim edge and the hard surface you just hit. A person so "vehiculary afflicted" would get out of the car, look at the tire and be thankful that the tire was not shredded. The problem is that once the pinch break was created, air would begin to leak through it to the outer casing of the tire and cause the slight budge (also called an egg bubble) in the sidewall. The leaking process would take 1-2 months of driving to create the bulge in the sidewall and typically, the car owner simply forgot that they hit the curb/pothole and want to claim a defective tire. PS: The last place you would take a tire for defect/warranty inspection is the car dealer where you bought the car. You should contact the tire manufacturer and ask them where (tire retailer/service center) you should bring the tire to for inspection. The old story goes that car manufacturers want three things in a tire for their cars..they want them black, round, and cheap and the first two don't really count.

Other cars pulling out in front of you is a part of everyday driving. Should Ford pay for that damage? If you hit a pothole so large that it damages the suspension it’s no different than running into a curb. Any dealer that fixes it under warranty is committing fraud. That’s an insurance claim.

Watts Link seen on mules over 12 months ago.

lol ok there bud. There's stuff going on at other locals that's been widely publicized.

Just wait until they get to the local levels. Selling jobs, forcing donations, making people take pictures of their ballots to prove who they voted for. Local 900 should be the first investigated. The two Bills are screwed

IMHO, the EcoBoost with the Hi-Po and Handling package could earn the ST badge. That is a solid combination!
