  1. Thursday, January 29, 2004 Ford loves its big, V-8 cash cows By Earle Eldridge / USA TODAY "But Ford earns $7,000 to $10,000 on each Crown Vic and Grand Marquis, which sell for about $23,000, according to estimates from Wall Street analysts. Not bad for a car that hasn't had a substantial redesign in over a decade. Ford officials won't disclose earnings for the models but acknowledge they are very profitable." I remember this article from 20 years ago, the cash cow was rolling money for Ford and if it wasn't for the fuel tank positioning, Ford would have kept it going a bit longer.
  2. I have a few friends, whose kids grew up with me, I'm the adopted uncle. And only one wants kids. Most of them cited they didn't have the patience, nor see the benefit of it, one said she didn't live in the Hallmark channel, and all those fantasies that what makes a perfect life with kids, was BS (she's my favorite), then I have the other one (who her father came out of the closet) she doesn't want the kids to introduce kids into this nasty atmosphere. One kid, his mother and I had to bully him to drive, because he didn't want to... I'm like "Your mother and I were born and raised in Miami, you need to learn to drive mthfkr! You're living in SUburbs, don't be a lil B"... he did...ironically in his household, he prefers the Fusion over the Edges...
  3. When the stock prices start dropping, then watch them share more info...
  4. If that's the case, then let's bring back the PROBE !!! 😛
  5. 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?
  6. 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...
  7. 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.
  8. 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...
  9. 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...
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. Lincoln Nautilus is in the finalists round... MotorTrend.com
