J-150

I must be mistaken. I was pretty sure it was here that virtually everyone hailed Mulally as a savior when he "right sized" and said "profits over sales trophies" Did we revert to bad habits like Ford management did after Alan retired?

Time to start conning Chinese investors.

LX mafia?

Theres really nothing out there like it.

What fleet buys these over an SUV or van?

The Venza didnt sell worth beans while Toyota sold tons of Highlanders and RAVs

What many dont realize is the volume of Toyota workforce that are temps that make far less than the quoted hourly rates.

And call it a Capri?

So do the p/u thing again. VW rebadges a Ranger as the next Amarok.

New one. 2018 "North" package.

My company vehicle (RAV4) is in the body shop getting new paint from wind storm damage. So Enterprise gives me a Jeep Compass as an equivalent. No its not. This thing is garbage. 6 months old and the drivers door has a sag. The power mirrors go up but not down. The tranny up shifts to 2nd at 5km/h creating a huge power lag from a stop. The seats are abnormally stiff and angled upwards causing a great deal of pain in the legs. The ride is overly bouncy yet extemely stiff. The interior materials are cheap. Underpowered. Tinny sound from the speakers. I could go on. I do ask why this even sells. The KIA Sportage is light year ahead of this for similar discount pricing. Rant over.

30 years ago, we called them station wagons. Thats still what they are for most owners. We're just not allowed to call them that.

Of course they would say that. Do you really think they would admit what they're being accused of?

You make it out like its a NASA moon mission. Oakville went from Tempo to Windstar to Freestar to Edge/Flex. Smooth transition each time.

See Audi, BMW and Mercedes...

Just like the trin mevel namining convention of: ST SLT Laramie Longhorn (for a saddle leathered truck) For decades now, i dont think Dodge/Ram has innovated anything in pickups or vans. They seem to spend their time copying Ford and GM.

Keep the 300 and sell it as an Alfa

I actually saw one today with a short box. Current model. They look so strange now. Like somethings missing.

Replace "own high end truck" with "use work truck for work" and you just described yourself.

My question is where the Board is in all of this. Historically, the Board has wielded significant power at Ford as the family wants input into the long term success of their fortune. It's great that Bill thinks Hackett is "da bomb" but where is the rest of the Board and family in keeping this sinking ship afloat?

Versailles... LOL

Not hogs. Pigs. Drank like pigs. Handled like pigs. Accelerated and braked like pigs. No wonder so many small contractors went to pickups with cargo trailers.

Ford gets to look like a hero by applying HR rules to executives while keeping Nair working for them.

Maybe his parting was amicable after all. No way he would be at a supplier without Ford's approval.

Luckily, the same thing is happening to Silverado and Ram owners. Ford picks up those customers
