  1. This place is a whole lot less interesting without him. He was a counterpoint to the half dozen or so anti-EV zealots. Without the handful of actual insiders, this forum wouldn't be worth visiting.
  2. I never said otherwise, they obviously need a broad product portfolio. The fullsize truck segment gives them a nearly unassailable profit center that the Japanese automakers lack, save for Toyota.
  3. If Ford and GM can eventually convert their fullsize pickup and SUV customers into EV buyers, they'll be fine. The companies that are most threatened by the Chinese are the Japanese automakers, except Toyota. The main reason Toyota isn't as threatened is that they're sitting on massive cash reserves.
  4. I don't know, I'm not an expert on FRAP. But here's a few more vehicles previously made there: 2013-20 Fusion: 58.1" tall 2017 -20 Continental: 58.5" tall I do know that Mike Levine stated emphatically that the Evos would not be sold here, but we all know about Ford and plans...
  5. Based on what we know about FRAP and from Fuzzy's clues, the only vehicle it could be is the new Mondeo(China)/Taurus(Middle East). Don't caught up in the $50M figure in the new CBA. The way that was worded was opened ended; the $50M is what they'll spend if only the Mustang is built there.
  6. The pictures are of the CURRENT GOLF. You know, the ICE version... ? The all electric Golf doesn't come out until 2028.
  7. Nope: Volkswagen might retire the ID.3 when the next-gen Golf arrives | Top Gear
  8. If they were going to do a sedan, it would far easier (and thus more likely) to have the new Mondeo manufactured at Flat Rock. A Mustang sedan is close to Fantasyland at this point.
  9. The IIHS wants to lower speed limits so more people will get speeding tickets. Then the insurance companies can jack up their premiums. The first I in IIHS stands for Insurance. The IIHS is bought and paid for by insurance companies. I don't believe their studies.
  10. Nope, two different things. The Honda Prologue is going into production next year. He's wrong, like he usually is.
  11. The only thing it will get me to do is lump you in with the other anti-EV zealots and just scroll past your posts in the future.
  12. No they didn't, that plant is being delayed, not canceled. Jeez, there's lots of misinformation in this thread..
  13. Just to clarify, BOC and its SK battery plant are currently on schedule to open on time. It is one of the two side-by-side battery plants in KENTUCKY that is being delayed. Ford will postpone about $12 billion in EV investment (cnbc.com)
  14. GM Begins Planning Next-Gen, 2025 Chevy Malibu: Exclusive (gmauthority.com) Let the attack-the-source and/or GM-is-stupid posts begin...
  15. Or, maybe GM found that after Ford and Stellantis dropped their midsize sedans, they had the market to themselves and could make a profit on the Malibu. Since they're going to have at least one more generation of the ICE Malibu(rumored to be followed by an EV Malibu), that's more likely than your scenario. And that is the second time in this thread that you have stated that totally unsubstantiated speculation about the next Malibu coming from Korea, no doubt pulled from your nether regions.
