But a plant that only produces one vehicle is useless, don't you know that?* *thats when you ignore DTP, Louiville, and the individual lines in KCAP and KTP. Might as well close Avon Lake as well since the e-series died

I'll answer for him Edge, MKT, MKX, MKC

Yet some on this site were using the Crosstour and is mere existence as reasoning as to why Ford needs a wagon.

What the hell is HR-V? Never heard of it.

But Ford should sell a Fusion wagon in North America. Yeah right.

And how did you come to that conclusion?

It means it's scheduled to be built on April 27th

I have no grounds to compare the two, I've never even ridden in an Edge, let alone driven one

My fiance's dad has a Mazda CX-5. It's not bad on the road noise front, and not much engine noise for being a manual either.

It's been pretty well established that most of those sales are to fleets

its called S550

its a clean slate redesign

Option 3 sounds like the best, most cost effective option IF the next 250 shares a cab with the 150

honestly, i don't think there's anything wrong in being confident in your products, that said, there is a way to be confident and not overhype

indeed. I've been bitching to my committeeman nonstop for a year now since we on door line seem to have the worst problems with attendance. The attendance policy is already pretty lax and for them to not even bother to enforce it is a damn joke

I see your point man. Don't get me wrong, I was very upset about the whole thing at first too, until I sat back and thought about the situation. Keep in mind, the plant in Germany has been building the '15 Focus since last spring. It was delayed for us at MAP until December for god knows what reason. that means that they will be switching over to '16 models sometime really soon, if they haven't already, meanwhile we are struggling to even build the '15 cars. If anything blame the fuckers that can't be bothered to show up to work (don't get me started on that rant) for us losing the RS, not the UAW (even though there may or may not be blame there) or corporate, because quite frankly, its kinda easy to understand why they made the call they made.

Most of the tooling for the platform was already there from when Mazda was still making the 6 there. The don't make hybrids or plug ins there and as far as I know, they don't do any of the high end all wheel drive models either. Don't kid yourself, those jobs were going to be added for the new mustang with or without the fusion volume.

If you want 2 months of downtime to retool for a low volume niche product, then by all means. You do realize they would need to completely reconfigure the entire suspension lines, install new dynos that are meant for all wheel drive, as well as new tooling for engine line. The plant in Germany already has all of that.

That's a HID light. It can look blue at certain angles.

I agree, and that's what I was getting at earlier. However if a 7 passenger Edge does make it here, it should definitely NOT be called Edge+. This isn't Apple.

How? The doors are shaped differently?

They don't? I thought they did

I know what he's talking about, there's a lip at the base of the bumper cover (not seen in his pictures) that's supposedly for aero purposes, not the mouth guard looking thing

Chevy Sonic

In fairness biker, I don't think CT6 can be compared to Continental yet because of the latter being a concept at this stage. Yes it's pretty much what the production version will be but how much of the bells and whistles make it to production, as well as engine choices and other specs aren't available publicly yet.
