  1. Record loss looms at Tata as buyers shun Nanohttp://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130529/BIZ/305290031/1148/auto01/Record-loss-looms-Tata-buyers-shun-Nano
  2. Truly wealthy people are not impressed with the car you drive but with the Jet you own.
  3. I have an SEL with 18" wheels and it rides like a limo. Very smooth.
  4. Haha, my buddy in HS had a 69 impala ss with a 427 and 410 gears. We used to say it passed everything but gas stations. Green with a white roof too.
  5. I have a coworker from Ireland. He thought Ford was a UK based company. He is a bright fellow but does not follow the auto industry. I would not read too much into Europeans not buying US brands.
  6. It looks like a rear view on i think page 19 . Its the only vehicle viewed from the rear.
  7. Its like the man step. sounds stupid until you use it.
  8. I would like Lincoln to throw out a rwd sedan concept just to have everyone foaming at the mouth. The fall out would last the entire year..
  9. here is why this happeded "The Ford family, which owns more than 70 million shares of the Ford Motor Co., stands to make $28.3 million this year with the news that the automaker is doubling its quarterly dividend. " http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130111/AUTO0102/301110333/1148/auto01/Ford-family-collect-28M-dividend-rise
  10. I think the b-max would a better fit in the US if they could price it right.
  11. If I'm spending $200 on a phone or $1000 on a PC i'm not happy when I need to pull the battery or do resets. If I'm spending $40,000 on a car and its having these problems I'm pissed. Most people don't even know how to open the hood on their car let alone pull fuses. They have problems they take the car to the dealer. Dealer cant fix problem people go on the internet and complain how the system sucks and the dealer can't fix it. Thats why this is a problem. It may be a small technical problem but its a very high profile system and problems with it are dragging down fords quality rating. I have a 2013 Flex with MFT and I think its great no problems so far. But there is nothing worse then coming home with a new , big ticket,purchase and having problems. G
  12. I am pretty sure you cannot sell a car built in 2012 as a 2014. The model year must cross the first of the year and only one year. So you can build a 2014 on Jan 2 2013 no sooner.
  13. I have a 2013 Flex and the only problem I have with MFT is the text on the presets goes blank every once in a while. If I switch modes, SIRIUS to FM, they come back. Otherwise its been rock solid. G
  14. Then just quote the rules. No need to deride anyone. Try to rise above name calling and "calling people out". I was taught to behave decently to other people, whether they deserve it or not. Lets try elevate the spirit of the community instead of dragging it down. Ridiculing people is what I would call below the limits of civilized discussion.
  15. I was here, been a member for a long time. I was here before Richard started posting. I come here for Ford news not to bash posters who have been banned. If the moderators think he should be banned , just ban him. These kinds of theads don't accomplish anything. G
  16. You should lock this lock this thread again. A private mesasge should remain private. Second, why is this in the Ford Motor Company Forum. Third, moderators should be above this type of behaviour.
  17. you cant argue with Richard, he is always right :slapfight:
  18. RJ - I know what's behind it, and I know how useful an air intake would be to 99% of the drivers, and the EPA test. Also, here's a thought: The next time you gripe about weight or how cars are getting bigger, compare the original 911 to the current model.
  19. Bikers list is actually the cheapest car each manufacture makes. So they are grouped by price not by size. I think its a valid comparison. When people go to buy a car they don't say I'm going to look at B-cars. They shop on on lots of criteria but price is one of the biggest.
  20. its pronounced gay viter . long I like in Budweiser.
  21. I had an 89 probe gt. After about 5 years my insurance went up. No accidents. I asked my agent , she said its because the original owners sold their cars and "young" kids buy them used and wreck them. So the claims on that model jumped and affected me. I was like WTF. Pissed me off.
