  1. New carbon tax on gas and diesel fuel will increase the government rebates on electric vehicles. Any guess how much it will be after the election?
  2. In 10 years..we will find out.. or soon after private tech companies make space travel available to the public.
  3. Apple has enough cash to buy GM and Ford and FCA. The next car makers are on the rise.. car production and sales will be different very soon.
  4. Opens up slots for the new Apple cars in a few years. Apple just bought an old Pepsi plant recently. I know they do not want an existing UAW plant when Apple starts production. If they can sell their products at FCA dealerships.. that would solve a lot of logistics issues..
  5. I know that the 2017 Mustang is not on the market yet.. but does anyone know if the 2018 Mustang will be the mid cycle update MY and if so, what changes could we expect? I'm looking to purchase a 2017 Fusion Sport or a 2017/2018 Mustang. Thanks..
  6. Will a two gauge (tachometer / speed) IP be available on the 2017 Sport instead of the "cyclops" MPH IP. My 2014 Fusion has the two gauge IP and I prefer it over the center MPH IP cluster.
  7. I have weather tech mats in my '11 and '14 fusion. The floor mats fit well.. but I do not like the trunk floor liner.
  8. Make the 2.3L the base engine and replace the 3.7L with the 2.7L. Any idea if this change will happen at the mid cycle update?
  9. I don't want "all seasons" floor mats... I just want the "winter floor mats". They should cost <$70.00. Am I right?
  10. Not sure if this has been posted.. Netflix has a documentary about the 2015 Mustang and the history of the Mustang titled "A Faster Horse".
  11. How long does it take to get a BMW in after you order it?
  12. Good read.. Thanks for posting.. I find it ironic that quality was and still is an issue with the 'vet.
  13. Sure would like to see a Thunderbird as the flagship replacement.. Looking for a full size touring car soon..
  14. Maybe Google or Apple will buy Chrysler.. Now that would be a true game changer..
  15. It will be interesting to compare the engineering and designing details between the CT6/Conti. Who raised the "bar" the most?
  16. lol.. 1. My Conti did have bench seats.. In fact, I like them so well I ordered it on my '16 F250 and my old '05 f350. 2. What I see in the '17 Conti is a makeover of the box looking MKS. 3. I have not looked at the specs on the two, but the '97 model seemed to have a longer and lower hood. 4. I hope the '17 sells well... but it does not beckon any passion from me to buy it. I like the MKZ much better. Maybe the coup will look better... I hope so.
  17. As a former FWD Continental owner.. this new Continental is disappointing in the pictures I've seen. I hope it looks better in person at the Chicago Auto show next month. I have seen the '17 MKZ and like it more than the <'16 models. Of course, 400HP, 3.0L helps..lol
  18. AWD.. if a sports car is to be taken seriously in Europe and soon in the USA.; Look for the current group of "sport cars" sold in the USA to offer AWD very soon.
  19. The out of alinement on the trunk lid is equally impressive. I don't understand the logic.
