  1. Any guesses as to what platform this will be built on? https://blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/75669-second-generation-ford-e-transit-may-be-built-in-ohio/
  2. https://fordauthority.com/2023/11/second-generation-ford-e-transit-may-be-built-in-ohio/ It will still see production, but wonder what bearing this may have on future E-Series output. It also seems like the E-Transit will be split from the mainline Transit and built on a different platform.
  3. Malibu made the top 25 best-selling vehicles of 2023 list: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/g43553191/bestselling-cars-2023/ https://blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/75551-the-25-bestselling-cars-trucks-and-suvs-of-2023-so-far/
  4. Only two Fords. Shocked at Tesla's placing... 25. Chevy Malibu (111,449 units sold) 24. Chrysler Pacifica (112,198 units sold) 23. Subaru Crosstrek (114,632 units sold) 22.

  5. Reminder that the current Malibu is more than 8 years old and is still selling in large numbers.
  6. Strong Chevy Malibu, Toyota Camry Sales Show Sedans Aren't Dead: These two sedans account for nearly a quarter-million sales through 2023 https://www.motor1.com/news/675819/chevy-malibu-toyota-camry-sales-sedans-not-dead/ Chevy Malibu Sales Place Third In Segment, Outpacing Nissan Altima, Kia K5 In Q2 2023 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/09/chevrolet-malibu-sales-numbers-figures-results-second-quarter-2023-q2/ I dunno.... I still think getting rid of the Fusion is a mistake... Seems like the segment is a pretty sizable pie to not be getting a slice of. And it's not like GM, Toyota and the like have stopped selling trucks, crossovers and SUVs.
  7. Thoughts on the new M2 Plus, especially in comparison to the F650/F750? https://www.ccjdigital.com/trucks/article/15294574/freightliner-reenergizing-its-vocational-line-with-m2-plus-sd-plus https://www.freightliner.com/trucks/m2-106-plus/ https://www.freightliner.com/trucks/m2-112-plus/
  8. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/27/ford-pushes-back-ev-target-warns-of-wider-losses.html "While Ford overall was solidly profitable during the second quarter, the Model e unit posted an operating loss of $1.8 billion." Yikes...
  9. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/volvo-ford-and-lotus-designer-peter-horbury-has-died https://www.motortrend.com/news/volvo-ford-geely-designer-peter-horbury-passed-away/ RIP
  10. From the the comments section of this article, a look into the mind and tastes, of a "typical" non-fleet van buyer: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/06/chevrolet-express-sales-numbers-figures-results-first-quarter-2023-q1/ Do any of these comments track?
  11. How long can they keep this up? https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/26/23738581/tesla-model-y-ev-record-world-bestselling-car-electric
  12. Damn... https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/26/23738581/tesla-model-y-ev-record-world-bestselling-car-electric
  13. 6 vehicles in particular, and stated plans on how to achieve this: https://fordauthority.com/2023/05/some-ford-vehicles-to-have-best-in-class-quality-by-2025/
  14. (Rest of the article): https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-test-small-uk-fleet-hydrogen-fuel-cell-e-transit-vans-2023-05-09/ Same reasons given for why Ford is forgoing BEV instead for fuel cells for the Super Duty. Though, I don't understand why it's a "hydrogen fuel cell E-Transit" instead of simply a "hydrogen fuel cell Transit".
  15. https://www.ctvnews.ca/autos/gm-passes-ford-to-take-no-2-spot-in-ev-sales-behind-tesla-1.6342348 This is just one quarter. I didn't realize Teslas sold that much. Pretty crazy...
