  1. Give me a break! I’ve NEVER had my range cut in half due to cold on any ICE vehicle I have had, unlike my Mach E I have been driving. I’’m not an EV hater, but perhaps it’s you who should stop with the misinformation.
  2. What is not misinformation is your range being cut in half in cold conditions. That is a fact based on my personal experience, and it sucks.
  3. Wow, I wasn’t sure Hyundai styling could get any worse. I’m getting some Mitsubishi vibes (not a compliment) with those ugly ass big lights in the lower corners of the front fascia. I’m also not a fan of the stacked pixel looking lights. Just horrible.
  4. I am hoping for the new expedition. I like the Mustang but I really hope it’s not some Mustang variant.
  5. There’s nothing particularly interesting about this vehicle. It pretty much reminds me of Wagoneer aside from the obvious concept vehicle type of features.
  6. Some insight from Jalopnik for what it’s worth… https://jalopnik.com/lincoln-dealers-still-have-over-33-000-unsold-2022-202-1851359374
  7. They probably could skip the supercab if they added a 6’ bed option to the crewcab version. I would anticipate that’s one of the main appeals of the supercab.
  8. The new Kia design language did not translate well to this smaller class of vehicle. This vehicle is unattractive to me.
  9. My first thought was 2007–2017 Jeep Compass.
  10. Same here. Makes no sense. The dealer said they have had long lead times to get anything. I don’t understand it. It is a standalone Lincoln dealership, which is paired with Volvo and Mazda.
  11. I think this would generate some buzz and would be a welcome addition.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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:
  15. Only a purist will understand it. Everyone else will be like WTF is that. I personally don’t think it’s great marketing.
  16. I suppose you have to be at Mopar fan I understand what that symbol is.
  17. 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.
  18. 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?
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. That seems like a substantial downgrade to me. What is the draw for you?
