Trying to sell our 2012 Focus - how to word description about Dual Clutch transmission?
630land replied to LookingToBuyAFord's topic in Focus Forum
Wonder what DCT Focuses are now worth in this 2022 "sellers market"? -

Retained Customers When Ford Cars Are Gone.
630land replied to Bob Rosadini's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
The days of hoping, praying and wishing for a Ford "Camry/Accord killer" are over. Those who still want a true car, get imports, due to better and resale. DCT repairs and relying on "fleet sales" killed Ford car resale values forever. With all the SUV recalls, looks like they may lose that market, too. -
Rumor Dodge is doing a truck go against the Maverick
630land replied to jniffen's topic in Competing Products
By the time it appears, it will be 2059. Given how long it took for a full sized Jeep SUV to come out. 😉 Allpar fans are still whining about the Dart/200. They still claim "a full line up" of Dodges and Chrysler cars are coming from [now] Peugeot, after years of expecting new Dodges from Alfa-Romeo. Expecting "coupes, sedans, convertibles and wagons!" If they took an old Yugo, and put a Dodge badge on it, they'd be happy, at this point. -

Ford lost a lot of good will with car buyers, with DCT Focus, and Fusion suffered. But also, suburbanites said "cars are out of style and too small". Can't sell a "tiny car" [even if a mid size] to a Mom/Dad who have tons of "stuff" to haul for the kids.

to those complaining still about "why can't Ford still sell Fusion sedans"? Well, just go to another brand. Can still get a Malibu, for now. Or, get a Maverick, with a bed cover, and "voila!" a sedan!

When 1970 Maverick was new, 1930 was closer in time, then 1970 is to 2021!

Hardly anyone under 40 remembers the 1970-77 Maverick, so will be no association with 1970's cars. To Millennials, the 70's may as well be the 1930's, far far in the past.

All Stellantis brands will be funded for next 10 years
630land replied to rperez817's topic in Competing Products
Agree, Chrysler hasn't been a "premium brand" since the K-car days. I bet name will be gone by 2028. Opel/Vauxhall are now just badges on French cars, nothing GM anymore. Don't expect "the return of Opel to US", ever. And 'FCA' is defunct. Funny how Chrysler/Mopar/Dodge fanbois love using the term, but then complain about Fiat. -
Oh, and how long will Mopar car guys keep using "FCA" term (since merger is done)? They complain about Fiat products, but gleefully say "FCA" as if the 'F' means "fun". LOL Hard to say Stellantis quick, though. 😉
-
Over at Allpar, they're still expecting "a new car line up from PSA", to replace Dart, 200, etc. And, some claim "Opels will be sold as Dodges". Umm, it's been 6 years since Sergio killed off Dart/200. They are not coming back. Any new Dodge/Chrysler will be a CUV, no "new Intrepid/Concorde/Stratus/LeBaron" cars.
-
Here is your modern day "Ford compact sedan", folks. Many will get bed covers, so that will be its 'trunk'.
-
Ford killed the Focus name in US, with poor DCT quality, thus it is same as Pinto in buyers minds. So, dream on for any 'return of Focus ST/RS' or imports from Spain. But, what about that new Fusion wagon "Outback competitor"?
-
"Who cares?" Paying customers who want new product.

Return of the Thunderbird?
630land replied to mackinaw's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
If they do, it will be a 4 door CUV. Since that is what sells to new car buyers. Example; Mustang Mach E. -
Fiat Guts U.S. Lineup, Only The 500X Will Remain For 2021
630land replied to Dequindre's topic in Competing Products
"...if FCA had a do-over, they would have never launched Fiat as a standalone brand in the US..." Then, what would 'F' in FCA mean? FCA is used over and over to mean Mopar and will most likely stick around, like DSM for Mitsubishi cars. Now the company stock market name is STLA.
