Mine either. Checked on their inventory and nada, nothing there in person when I went for an oil change either (they did have an absurd $50k markup on a several $96k GT500s though...) .......reminds me, I forgot to drive by their get-ready lot..... This dealer group is weird - since they took over from AutoNation a few years ago, they run things strangely - they have half their lot empty right now, and find it hard to believe they sold all those trucks at once.

BRONCO.

Looks like it gets factory fogs now too.

No problem, and thanks for the pointer! I'll update it for next month/going forward.

For those that like nice colors:

This is about where I am too - if Ford had offered a hybrid Bronco (either regular or PHEV), I'd go with that now, but they don't, so normal ICE it is for this one. I have considered a MME (and I'd be lying if I said the tax credit doesn't make it more appealing), but I just don't know if I'm ready for a full BEV yet, with an uncertain housing situation going forward (may be moving soon and don't know if it'll be a condo without chargers, or a house where one can be installed), I don't think it's feasible to make that jump just yet.

F-series is the crown jewel - it basically gets whatever it wants/needs to be successful. Another thing with the 7-10 options - there may technically be 7-10, but I think at least 4 of them are the same with different color surfaces/finishes (i.e. body color bars vs. chrome bars).

I don't know if there are climate change "deniers" here, as much as being more realistic with analysis of it - in that it's been a "sky is falling next year" thing for 20-30 years (first global cooling, then it's global warming, now it's just "climate change"). Not to get off on a tangent, but I believe it's both naturally cyclical and that we have an effect. I see deforestation as a big problem, and that obviously affects the climate because of oxygen/co2 production/"scrubbing". Plus the fact that EVs are not all roses - maybe they're cleaner on an individual level vs ICE emissions, but that ignores the additional power generation needed (which, I'm sorry, is not all coming from renewable - not feasible right now) and the mining for the elements to make the batteries - factors that are conveniently ignored by EV supporters. I'm not against EV, just the negatives need to be pointed out too, and not ignored. As for EV adoption - naturally percentages will increase from the 0 they started at.......but when you have governments subsidizing their sales, and mandating EVs, obviously sales will have to increase and have "no sign the market trend is going to reverse" - government literally won't allow it lol. Or you can still buy or have an ICE but you can't drive it to X, Y, Z locations... point is - it's not 100% organic growth. This is a big issue too. A buddy of mine was considering a Tesla, but lives in an older condo building, with nowhere to charge it. It just really ties in to the overall electric/charging/infrastructure issue.

i agree. I want to see that Lincoln BEV that Rivian was to build

“Everything else” has shrunk every time there’s news about Nikola.

So, I ask again, what is Nikola providing here? If GM is providing the powertrain?

Seems strange, especially with it only being 2 model years old. I didn't think they've changed anything on the XT4 since then, have they?

I mean, could the same not be said of most of the compact class?

Who knows. Their (and GM's) plan seems to change daily.
