  1. Tesla is doing it because they (most likely) can't afford that expensive new technology GM is just keeping pace for now
  2. That's a Lincoln thing. They're doing that across the whole brand.
  3. I'm pretty sure the auto trans they use on the 1.0 is straight from the Fusion/Escape Ecoboost engines with many some ratio tweaks.
  4. Is that really all that unique anymore? Maybe if it were 1999, but isn't that an option that you can also find elsewhere?
  5. High gas prices (at least until the last quarter of 2014) helped a lot.
  6. It's hard to say. They're pretty quiet on when exactly stuff is supposed to start showing up on dealer lots.
  7. I'm amazed they're even still bothering with the Durango....
  8. I've heard good things about Daredevil on Netflix. I've been meaning to check it out.
  9. Deadpool was f***ing awesome! Marvel movies also have their serious moments too, they're not all fun and jokes. Except for Deadpool for reasons that should be pretty obvious.
  10. Late availability. Start looking later in the summer for those to start popping up.
  11. I test drove the 1.0 (albeit with the manual as the 6f auto wasn't available for that engine stateside yet) and I was impressed with it. We wound up going with the 2.0/5 speed manual because it's what my wife had her heart set on despite my not really liking the gearing of that transmission. Like Anthony said, it's not a barn burner but it's definitely going to surprise you for being such a small engine. There's a tread with my immediate impressions somewhere in the Focus section on this board about it.
  12. That's not even what I'm saying So suggest that Ford and GM (and even FCA-NA) is solely dependent on Michigan and Ohio couldn't be more wrong
  13. I'm not even going to begin to get into just how wrong this is....
  14. No GM is not more profitable than Ford. GM sells more than Ford across all of their brands than Ford does with their 2, yet their net income is pretty close to the same every quarter.
  15. That's what I'm saying, I'm pretty sure the center caps are the standard wheels
  16. Not to mention Ford engineers are heavily involved with the GT racing program IIRC.
  17. I think it's just the opposite. I think those cheesy ones you mentioned that the Mass State Police use are the optional ones. I've only seen the ones pictured in the wild myself.
  18. Your car is still unscheduled because it's a retail order. Retail orders aren't scheduled until the OK TO BUY is given, which is usually 3-6 weeks after production begins. Only dealer stock cars are built to start.
  19. given the past 2 model years and the fact that none of the big 3 give a crap about small cars anymore, i would imagine that would come out as late as absolutely possible.
