  1. Did you take a photo?..answer----no...deal with it...sensitive types may find this offensive
  2. Sammich maker wants the mazda gone after viewing the hyundai truck-let.....interesting how the demographics might shake-out with sammich makers being majority of reason there is one in the driveway.....
  3. Agreed....buyers know going in what there lifestyle needs are......its just the ford sales team (and dearship owners) here throwing-up more garbage to discredit a rather cute looking mini....an upscale base interior would nicely complement/distinguish this mini from other base models
  4. Ranger should have been F100.....look to harley and buell for how well that worked out.....
  5. Hyundai "youthful", "sporty"...impressed with there williningness to push design dynamics and envelope Ford "boring", "generic" - old gezzers preferred with ford still showing no balls to push design dynamics...
  6. Rural farm store dealer Couple BS's (area 51 and plain vanilla grocery runner - not impressed - cheap looking interior but area 51 was eye appealing sans horrendous puke color) Chassis cabs F250/350 lariets and plantinums with duals Used trucks with little passenger car selection (as expected) Amc heep trade-in with sprayer in the rear - most impressed....simple as hell and no crap to clog-up the works
  7. What cars are meant to be....now if ford could only deliver a lariet single cab f350 with long bed..
  8. Not going to argue against that...other reason is there crap (yota) is worth nearly as much when purchased new....ford cannot help but drown in comparison to depriciation between the brands
  9. More likely low T buyers out number those that want a manual (ranger bronc)...overall low T correlates directly to the escape bronc buyers, hence automatic
  10. Definetly agree positive claims will be the norm....but its those that push the limit with soon-to-be parts busted that will win the day......edukatin the owners is just laughable thought process.....i would put a sticker in the glove box warning owners vehicle is not trail rated.....
  11. Is this the "protected forum"......lotta crying back then to remove alternative viewpoints as i remember......employee owned companies have a dismal record of survivorship......i would strongly urge ford to add capacity in mexico and let the uaw work with mexican gov't....may be reality needs to sink-in and that might do it....
  12. Spread out over everybody in the state (granny gets in on it too)....."driving privledge tax"....
  13. MFT....motor fuel tax....be interesting to see if this trend holds going forward....otherwise look for a greater push with a "mileage tax" placed on everybody
  14. Ford should build more plants in mexico....gnashing of teeth sure to ensue
  15. Then it will all leave the country.....its just cheaper to leave detroit, cut your liability and quarterly costs (human resources) and forget it...
  16. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ford-move-900-million-plant-ohio-mexico-report
  17. No, you dont run lightweight garbage intended for the escape then claim off-road ability via marketing advertising......
  18. I would not rely on eletrification to retain usa jobs...dearborn may become corporate office with all other moved from usa...usa may well end -up the net-importer...where those workers go for employment may well become the "political warfare" for the next 20 years.....ohio assembly is not getting product..ford announced today it is moving product (900 million investment just evaporated) to mexico...
  19. Its coming and going right to mexico.....it started day 1 with pipefiters being tossed to the curb (pipeline)
  20. Ohio is about to lose another manuf-facility (press release by ford this date)....there is no "progression" with exception of "political progression"...ford needs to control where the liability issues reside..
  21. Some form of "assembly" may stay in usa..but its far cheaper to produce south of Laredo and ship by rail....ford needs to cut employees and replace with robotics....lose the "liability" and watch "F" stock rise.....i would "reduce the problem" which is where "blatently obvious" the liabilty resides
  22. Well, to be fair "brand image" is likely in the brain of those buyers....personally, my OPINION albeit useless, is there does appear to be a push by ford marketing to gain inroads into the "bro-dozer wannabe lifestyle" by use of the iconic "bronco" name.....boils down to an escape here that has been guised-up to not appear to be the "laxative of choice" for the over 65 female buyer...
  23. "Marketing"...may be they should have just called it an escape from the start
  24. Has eye appealing design..looks like it may find garages
  25. Sweet karma.....what the hell did ford expect when they put bronco name on the piece of crap escape based underpinings..fords awd system even on the explorer will not get you thru 7 inches of unplowed road...its for gaining traction on snow packed roads that have been plowed and not much more...the blue drug is very addictive
