  1. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2017/12/dont-gentle-rental-nissan-boosts-u-s-sales-numbers-flooding-americas-fleets/
  2. Actually, BMW is still passenger car heavy......regardless you have a point. Sales have shifted from cars to SUVs/Trucks so why not offer more options to keep and/or reign in new buyers.
  3. Fair enough and makes sense. I'll admit that I am not well versed on what makes an 'ST'.
  4. Agreed. Makes you wonder why they didn't just slap a 'Sport' badge on it and call it a day.
  5. The rear valence panel of the ST appears to be slightly overwrought, outside of that it looks pretty spot on. Curious to see how the performance improvements translate to real world driving.
  6. I loved everything about my 12 Focus, except for the Powershift transmission. It ruined a perfectly good car. The fit/finish, handling and feature content rivaled some of these so called premium brands.
  7. So long as the rotary is mechanically operated and not electronic. E65 7 Series have those silly stalks. Everything else has the "joystick"
  8. Very well done. Everything from the powertrain to the seats seem very well executed. I am looking forward to getting behind the wheel of one.
  9. I believe the Fusion was ranked number 3 out of mid-sizers by C&D too.
  10. Yes, 55K is a bit on the steep side! That's 5 Series/E Class/A6 money....albeit with less feature content.
  11. This car without the pano roof (and added weight) probably would have faired better performance and efficiency wise. Yes the car is slow, but who in their right mind shops a hybrid with the emphasis on off the line performance?
  12. Vehicles as a whole are expensive. All of the tech that has trickled down over the years adds up when you start checking option boxes.
  13. I thought that there was a compass read out on the radio display as well.
  14. Maybe this is happening already, but Ford could stand to do a better job selling Lincolns to exisiting Ford customers looking for a premium nameplate. I will say this much, at least a boat load of money wasn't dumped into the brand only to net nothing from it (like Cadillac).
  15. I'm surprised that more units of the MKC aren't moving (unless I missed something). I find it to be very competent and class competitive
  16. I agree. The 4Runner is yet another example of Toyota's heavy handed styling attempts. It looks ridiculous.
  17. An over styled disaster. What gives with Toyota/Lexus and these massive "maws"?
  18. Quite a few hotels actually do, at least in their lobbies.
  19. Agreed.....FCX's fragmenting of Chrysler/Dodge vehicles hasn't helped much here. As far as the other brands, they've been pretty stagnat when it comes to new product.
  20. NM the fact that there has been a signifigant software revision for the Focus' Powershift.
