  1. I agree – my mother-in-law bought a bronco sport six months ago, and I doubt she could tell you how many cylinders it has. All she cared about is that she liked the way it looked,how I drove, and what it cost. As long as it drives well I don’t think the specifics of the engine matter for a mass market vehicle.
  2. I’ve been very pleased with my wife’s Maverick. It’s a bit loud, and sounds a bit like a sewing machine, but in part I may just be too used to my Lightning.
  3. Seeing as it hasn’t been built since 2023 I think the Bolt will be hurt the least.
  4. Is Tacoma counted in the Hilux? Impressive if not. The Corolla Cross seems like a nice little CUV.
  5. The R2S will be in the running to replace my wife’s Maverick in a few years.
  6. One of my concerns with Rivian is support. Would be interesting if this leads to Rivian vehicles being serviced at VAG stores. Could do the “ghost kitchen” model. I had hoped that they’d do that when Ford was invested in them.
  7. Did they have decent pre-tariff stock of the Nautilus (or is it exempt?). If not that’s going to eventually sting, right?
  8. Happens all the time. https://www.drive.com.au/news/2023-ford-everest-wildtrak-patents-surface/
  9. Ever seen a Toyota Venza? It’s a secondary model like the Bronco Sport that’s a more interesting model that's sold in limited markets.
  10. I love when states rights folks are against states rights.
  11. I am still surprised they don’t have a BEV Prius. The current Prius is actually pretty good looking and could build on the brand.
  12. Is that with or without the 258 million fentanyl deaths Trump prevented in the last three months? how anyone could believe these people is beyond me. https://www.factcheck.org/2025/05/bondi-far-overstates-the-impact-of-fentanyl-seizures-on-american-lives/
  13. Both my previous Mach-E, and my current Lightning have them.
  14. While it went on sale in December of 20 it was very limited availability. Mine was the first Mach-E my dealer sold, and it was June of 21. The Bronco (T6) has had fewer updates than the Mach-E and is a similar vintage.
  15. They’ve done more updates to the Mach-E than the Bronco (Raptor doesn’t count).
  16. It’s practically an electric Panther at this point. It’s ancient. I am surprised they didn’t design the 3/Y to grow into a new S/X. I wouldn’t be shocked if eventually Tesla becomes a powertrain and software supplier. Would people turned off by Musk be less turned off by a Mercedes powered by Tesla (batteries/motors and/or FSD)?
  17. Stainless is stainless, but I can’t see why Slate doesn’t offer multiple colors composite panels (Black for instance).
  18. Im not sure the wraps are installed for you? Both Ford and Tesla offer wraps from the “Factory”. (Or at least did. I wonder how many of the planned 2k they sold). https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44890474/2024-ford-f-150-lightning-platinum-black/
  19. My first car had a removable pioneer headunit. The whole thing came out and you carried it with you like a lunchbox.
  20. I would assume there’ll be a more conventional plug in infotainment system too. My concern with the iPad is potential for theft.
  21. I asked ChatGPT to put an Everest front end on a Durango and Durango front end on Everest. (In fairness ChatGPT could have cheated, but you get the point)
  22. The Falcon was pretty cool too. But like the Falcon it’s a generation behind in styling. Put a Ranger front on a fifteen year old Durango and BOOM you get an Everest.
  23. How can a slab side Lincoln not be continental based?
  24. https://www.theautopian.com/the-new-slate-suv-reportedly-funded-by-jeff-bezos-was-just-revealed-in-the-most-insane-way/ Here’s the SUV.
