  1. If that's the case, then let's bring back the PROBE !!! 😛
  2. To add, supposedly Toyota is talking about bringing the Celica back, and somehow I believe Honda followed suit with saying they might bring the Prelude back. If I remember correctly (since my friends in HS had these vehicles), the reason they bombed in the 90s, was mainly the price. A Celica and Prelude back then could hit 25-28K, whereas a Mustang GT could be had for even less. Now here we are 30 years later in a declining segment of vehicles, and they still think they can pull it off...If that's the case, bring out the Probe?
  3. Mustang Mach-E sold more than regular Mustang...I guess the name,or the fact it's crossover looking, or not a "real Mustang" (as some claimted it), hasn't hurt it any...
  4. My city went from Explorer's to Tahoes.. mainly because of price...Tahoes were about the same as an Explorers and easier to work on for the apparatus they have to had install in them. And be able to jump a curb easily if need be. The only thing they enjoyed about the Explorer's were the 3.0L engines power.
  5. I'm amused at the Nautilus sales... It's not Lincoln's entry model, but rather the one above it, made in China, that's the best seller this year. Guess many do not care or know it's made in China... the irony...
  6. In other publications, other reviewers have stated the 2.3L in the Explorer is more than what most people will need. I'm sure it's still faster and more responsive than what the Jeep has to offer...
  7. Funny story, Picture it, 1995 Miami, first job. Owners mother comes in shows off her Lexus Es300...She hated it. She looks out the window in front of the business"OH I wish I could buy that" (it was my mothers 94 740iL-it was blocking my car in the garage so took hers) and I'm like, yeah it's my mothers, you can afford that, you own the franchise owner and own a few stores "why didn't you?" she like "I can't I'm Jewish" I'm like "Ok so splurge a little"...shes like "NO Anthony you don't get it, I'm Jewish, I can't own a German vehicle"... I'm like "hm didn't know that was a concern".... A week later she shows up with a new Ford Explorer...She was sssoooo happy...she shows it off and guess what I said "Hmm I thought you couldn't own a German vehicle"...she's says "Hmm this is a Ford" I tell her "look at your Monroney sticker, Your engine was made in Cologe Germany, as well as your transmission!"... She was not happy...surprised she didn't fire me, oh she hated me, but I was the best employee they had LOL Maybe it takes a generation but honestly after awhile, people stop caring...Look where Hyundai is today, after hearing in the 80s/90s "OH I will never"....Bad credit and cheap prices are sometimes way of converting LOL
  8. I wonder why they (the author of the article) suggested the 2.7L for the "Hot rod" Nautilus and Zephyr when the 3.0L is at play. IMO the only thing wrong with the current Nautilus (other than the touchy brakes you get accustomed to) is it really needs an extra 50HP... All this sounds great but as JPD80 says, gotta attract more buyers to the brand.
  9. Lincoln Nautilus is in the finalists round... MotorTrend.com
  10. But on a side matter, consumer buying habits.. (I think people buy more than they should or can afford), vehicle lifespans, people holding onto vehicles longer... I have friends buying their kids (on a teachers salary in Florida LOL) new vehicles...knowing her in HS where she made a 20 year old vehicle work back then... At what point does a market crash, because its not sustainable....?
