The Honda Fit was a terrible vehicle and never really competitive. The Yaris was a penalty box as well. My point-they stopped selling two vehicles that by any stretch were not great.

A Land Cruiser buyer is a totally different demographic than a Bronco buyer. As far as the 4Runner-people buy the 4Runner for what it isn't. They want "old school".

You really think a 4Runner and a Land Cruiser will be cross shopped with a Bronco?

I don't think they are going to have any issues selling them.

They would do well not to call it "EcoSport"......

Let's take two uses that trucks are used for and take them out of the equation. Those are for towing and for work. The rest are lifestyle. That's why you see these new EV trucks being designed the way they are. If they solve the range and recharging issues- then that RAM as a lifestyle vehicle hits the mark. Ford played it safe and made their EV truck look like a regular truck- the issue being is that it can't be used like a truck as towing leaves an abysmal range. And a work truck- that's a small niche with the EV limitations.

There are basically no hatchbacks-because the market (for the most part) doesn't define them as such. Younger buyers will have no recognition of a "hatchback". Just like they call limited (release LPs) "vinyl" because that is what they are now called.

Even though the 2.7 has good numbers-the "faithful" have a hard time getting past the "4 cylinder thing". Then you have the "You Tubers" bashing it as well because.....it's a 4 cylinder.

The Maverick is selling in part due to it's price point. We will see if guys will lay down significantly more dollars for Maverick design language on the '23 Ranger.

I just saw the 2024 Ranger over on TFL truck. I disagree. GM's faux offroad packages have proven to be very popular. Many of these are with the bashed 2.7 because that's what the dealers are getting. The design language of the Ranger on the front end is not great-IMHO.

Doesn't it have about the same numbers as the small Ford 2.7 turbo?

$16.67 an hour is terrible...especially on an assembly line.

Make a sedan that people can actually get in and out of easily and not call it a sedan. Sounds like it should sell.

When Toyota does it will be class competitive.
