  1. What's your source? Every public outlet I know of lists job 1 for 2016 Taurus as TBA
  2. Unless the current car carries over for another short model year in NA, then we get the one being shown in Shanghai for MY2017, like what is happening with the '15 and '15 C-Max in North America
  3. I know it's late in the development of the new camaro, but that doesn't bode well, especially since the challenger passed the camaro in sales in March.
  4. Yeah, you're probably right. And people say Lincoln is a rudderless ship.
  5. Well put all of that in the 'no shit Sherlock' category Stumbled on this little nugget too Doesn't that directly contradict what DeNychenn said just a few days ago?
  6. Is it a standalone Caddilac dealer? Because I've heard stories of combined Caddilac/Buick/GMC or Chevrolet/Caddilac dealers having the same problem as the combined Ford/Lincoln experience you described.
  7. I can tell you that most of the PHEVs we have been building lately have been for Europe. Though usually he build mix is usually 3:1 FHEV:PHEV
  8. 2015 edge has barely been in production for a month, relax
  9. FWIW it also says CD4 platform
  10. Also, by the time CD6 is unveiled, we could also see the next major upgrade of the C platform to accommodate the rumored "extensive" use of aluminum in the MK IV Focus.
  11. It's a combination of ageing cars that need service or are retired, combined with several hundred that were modified for and being used only for the medium/tall roof Transits. On top of it, there's a nationwide shortage of locomotives as well, which is why down south along the border, a few of the railroads are using power leased from Mexican railroads (NAFTA at its finest). Railroads are having to prioritize even more now, especially with the boom of oil trains coming out of the plains states and central Canada. It's a perfect storm, and it's actually hurting the growth of the economy as a whole.
  12. I disagree with you on the Focus. They made the opening more porportionate to the size of the car. The Fiesta looks like a chick doing a duck lipped selfie.
  13. because the IMO, the Fiesta makeover looks like ass. The Aston Grille looks awful on it
  14. Hah, I wish. C-max is a sinking ship if I've ever seen one.
  15. There isn't enough rail cars to handle the shipping demand of the auto industry as a whole.
  16. You missed the point. There's not enough rail cars to handle the demand. It's also effecting GM and Chrysler too.
  17. Too bad neither plant in Kentucky is set up to build the Focus of Fiesta. Part of the reason for the shortage on inventory too isn't just at the assembly plants, but with shipping. Most of the cars are shipped via rail and there is a nationwide shortage of auto haulers and motive power to pull said cars. The problem is exacerbated by Ford having to modify a bunch of railcars to fit the tall bodied Transit vans. Until either more autoracks are put into service or Locomotive orders begin to be filled for the major class I railroads in North America, the problem is going to continue.
  18. Her point is the department heads weren't being the leaders they are supposed to be.
  19. I do see her logic behind it, forcing the issue into the hands of the managers when are supposed to be leaders. Unfortunately for Johan, he's the last person in the company who needs any sort of autonomous control with no oversight.
