He was wandering around MAP trying to convince us that jobs wont be lost this year.

Ive heard a few designers and engineers call him that too. Company morale is extremely low right now. Ford is great at decontenting. Theyre even better at disguising the fact that theyre decontenting. The people in your example that noticed it should feel cheated. My 2008 Focus, a car that through its entire production run (MY2008-2011) never made a profit, has that.

Thats not an issue Ive personally heard of being common.

Not saying that Everest mule is an Explorer in disguise, but its definitely 100% not a Bronco.

Yeah. Ive been saying that the whole time....

if theyre just now building full prototypes that means theyre 18-24 months into development that has been seen before. Its a platform mule.

Im the same way. My older Focus is the car Ive owned the longest out of all of the cars Ive ever owned, and I dont plan on replacing it for another year and a half at least even though Ive been ready for something new for at least 3 years.

only 4? Lol

whats sad is if it didnt have that shitbox transmission it wouldnt be much better

I think he means manual? But unless he did a trans swap Im pretty sure the Mustang didnt get a 6-speed manual until 2015.

oh its going to take probably 2 coast to coast trips to come close to hitting the 36k, Im at 23k(ish) right now. This is what our sales rep told us when we looked into it a month ago. We were hoping to get in on the 2017 Fusion fire sale going on, but thats not going to happen.

Im 8 months from the end of my lease on my Focus and its completely upside down. Residual is so bad Im probably going to have to pay out of pocket to trade it early if we decide to try.

Per the contract, the week of Christmas will not exceed 40 hours of holiday pay

wow get a clue dude

starts production November 26 of this year

FTFY

I dont believe that they wont give it some luxury features for this market But if it has none of that Ill go get a Chevy

I dont have a problem with it myself, but I do see it as a sign that Ford still thinks its 1995 in a lot of ways.

Focus is like 29/38 or something like that

I agree, but I think plug in hybrid is a better solution than a regular hybrid

Undoubtedly. Bronco still has about a year and a half (at least) until production.

Makes me wonder if its really so cheap in China that its not worth building both in Hermosillo. Unless they have other plans for that plant none of us are aware of.

As of right now a Ranger lariat has everything I want. Technically I could get the 150 in my garage but I wouldnt be able to fit a second car in because of where the garage sits in relation to the house. Its hard enough to fit 2 Focuses in there and be able to use doors on both sides. I wouldnt be able to park the truck straight enough to squeeze the other car in there. Street parking is out of the question since our neighbors across from us have about 40 cars, only 3 of which are capable of moving without a tow truck and theyre all parked on the street. Once I blow out one of the cabinets and move the work bench over the garage should be more functional.

an F-150 wont fit in my garage.

. For anyone that wonders why I dont believe them when they say there wont be job losses, its this right here.
