Read the article, interesting technology based on steam propulsion? It's the Caddy that zaps...

Short answer is yes. F150 is a fully boxed frame whereas F250 SD use a C-channel for aftermarket flexibility that is shared with F250s higher GVW brethren. Ford could take F250 downward and back into the F150 arena with minor beefing of F150s already stout frame....Ford could then create a version of F100 on essentially an F150 frame with lighter duty (read: weighs less Lbs/Kg) with powertrain options targeting higher MPGs....F150 would still remain the stalwart of the lineup.

I would say it is more like 80% to 20%...but there is only a 70% chance of that

Then Ford should just re-name any possible Ranger replacement F100 so it can continue to add to the F-Series sales....my god, if it was actually a good design and people bought it in droves, it could possibly replace F150 as sales leader so Ford still retains the sales crown anyway....win-win-win for Ford.

:beatdeadhorse:

Sounds like the new round of negotiations for a replacement contract.....

With a VW badge and a nameplate like "Fox"....they would sell 'em by the boat load...literally.

And Ford can intro the same "clean diesel" technology into the Lincoln lineup....

A prerequisite will be that Fiat/Ram must first build them in China so they can showcase them in Walmart

:beatdeadhorse:

And since the plug is a standardized unit...it should easily work with Leaf, Volt, and other electrics as well....

I have a stack of 45's from back in the day and I went to the music store in the local mall to see if they knew of anyone that was interested in buying 45's....kid behind the counter looked at me all quizzical and said, "Whats a 45?" ....I shrugged my shoulders and left.

Saturn 2.0?

Her insurance agent must have ordered a case of Maalox......

One GM??

Not a storied brand? Hmmm, lets see, the guy the created Cadillac, did so out of the bones of the first company Henry Ford created, then he sells Cadillac to GM and creates Lincoln...then Henry Ford buys Lincoln to slide it into his stable....interesting story indeed.... As for Cadillacs "world standing" , that was created by an ad agency....Cadillacs today are much more competitive against rivals such as BMW, Audi, Benz, et al and so will Lincoln as long as Ford keeps going in the right direction with Lincoln.....

I agree....I really like the look and function-ability of the hatch design...

Not a NASCAR entry but a foray into SCCA would be nice.....go head to head with BMW, Lexus, Cadillac et al....

If he is doing a 65 mile a day commute and it is highway driving, the value of a Prius (or any hybrid for that matter) diminishes greatly. He would be better off in the aforementioned Focus or similar sub-compact hatch with an efficient 4 cylinder / manual transmission setup....Have you considered a Used I4/manual Fusion or older Focus...say one or two years old?

So, two tacos instead of one for lunch?

I wonder if anyone has put the vehicle on a frame machine to check to see if it is "square"......my guess is that this is a design flaw in the chassis architecture and they will not be able to correct it until the next model change over...

I am sure it will be a darling down at the Avis/Enterprise/Hertz /Dollar/Thrifty lots...next to the Altimas, Sonatas, Optimas, and Camrys....
