  1. I understand. I’m hoping the Chinese production is a stopgap measure until they can prepare a NA production location. Time will tell I suppose.
  2. Yes, this is very frustrating, and in my opinion, it doesn’t make very good business sense. It’s very disappointing that they have prioritize the Chinese market over our own market and a number of models.
  3. I understand the apprehension of having similarities between the Nav and Expy, but I have felt that using the F150 interior on the Expy was a hinderance to sales. If I care to guess, most drivers of full size SUVs are woman and I would anticipate the Tahoe interior has been more appealing to women. Regarding the coast to coast screen, the Chinese Explorer has a version, and as does the Nautilus. Obviously these are not the same model but they reflect different executions of it. The Explorer screen terminates early and looks blockier while the Nautilus flows cleanly into the doors. I think there’s room for Ford products to have it while not affecting the Lincoln models. Nautilus: Explorer:
  4. Only a purist will understand it. Everyone else will be like WTF is that. I personally don’t think it’s great marketing.
  5. I suppose you have to be at Mopar fan I understand what that symbol is.
  6. Rivian styling is decent, but I’m starting to get tired of the front end styling even though it hasn’t really been out that long.
  7. I posted this in the Ranger forum but didn’t get any feedback so I’ll post it here as well. 2024 Ford Ranger Production Increased, But None Were Sold: https://fordauthority.com/2024/03/2024-ford-ranger-production-increased-but-none-were-sold/amp/ I find this situation to be odd. This truck was supposed to go on sale last summer. As mentioned they had the strike and all, but they should have been ready to ramp up production after it was resolved, but something still seems to be wrong.   Fuzzy, can you provide any insight on this?
  8. Perhaps the dealers are stocking up because they need a reasonably priced vehicle to sell, and recognize there’s going to be a hole in the lineup soon.
  9. I just don’t see how you can define a $38,000+ vehicle as a commodity. I feel like you haven’t done something right as manufacture if your vehicle is a commodity at that price point. If this is truly his view, I think that’s pretty ridiculous position to take that I just cannot wrap my mind around.
  10. That seems like a substantial downgrade to me. What is the draw for you?
  11. I think they should go back to the drawing board. Is that a Mitsubishi symbol in the grill 🤣
  12. I also think they have gotten carried away with pricing, which has impacted sales.
  13. 2024 Ford Ranger Production Increased, But None Were Sold: https://fordauthority.com/2024/03/2024-ford-ranger-production-increased-but-none-were-sold/amp/ I find this situation to be odd. This truck was supposed to go on available last summer. Now I know they had the strike and all, but they should have been ready to ramp up production after it was resolved, but something still seems to be wrong. Fuzzy, can you provide any insight on this?
  14. Me either. I actually like the outgoing Challenger and Charger, but I personally don’t like the two styles combined together. This thing looks generic to me.
