  1. They don't need to make any of those items. They only need to package them into a final product with a name of the grill.
  2. How many classic names has FCA dusted off for Ram models with no downside? Hemi? Super Bee Daytona Etc. Most people really don't care.
  3. No. Not the reason. How often do you see crew cabs loaded with 5 workers? These days, trucks are rolling offices. Foremen use the back seat for carrying tools and excessive amounts of paper. Go to any job site and look at the back seat of these trucks. The reality is that vans are better suited for most commercial pickup drivers. But no one wants to drive one.
  4. Hyundai will be inheriting a really nice truck.
  5. I would imagine they have perfected their responses to disgruntled buyers
  6. Vs the previous 20 years of styling, this one at least makes an attempt at standing for something.
  7. The secret is there for all to see. It's called a car. People want Escapes and Explorers. Not Escort wagons and Taurus wagons of the 90s. Even though they had more room, better fuel efficiency and better ride quality.
  8. Brampton Assembly, just outside of Toronto.
  9. How would GM cover up lack of product development?
  10. IMO, a Lightning should have a unique engine, like Mustang does with the GT350/500. Maybe the 5.2 FPC? A modified, high revving V10?
  11. Lincolnized Everest as the 3rd vehicle on T6 at MAP. RWD would make it competitive against the German/UK SUVs
  12. The Everest will still be around to satisfy the pavement poseurs.
  13. Fields is the one that got the financial house in order before Mulally got there. Maybe Fields was overly cautious, but at the same time he was creating a financially stable company that could survive an economic down tick.
  14. The architect (Fields) and executioner (Mulally) of those plans are now gone. I don't have faith in Bill Ford or the board to do the right thing. They were the ones that gave Nasser full access to the bank account. They've now done the same for Mr. Silicon Valley. Nasser and Hackett. Two guys intent on spending lots of money to make Ford something it isn't.
  15. I see Global Ranger. Right down to the six sided grill.
  16. I wonder how many taxpayer dollars will subsidize the truck.
