@RMC...the passenger variants drive SO much better than the Econoline Clubwagons did/ night and day...plus 3 lengths/ heights and engine choices. Haven't had a diesel to drive yet, but the eco-boost is an animal...ever driven a full size van and jumped out with a grin?....that said, Wards is lambasting Fords 3.2 for mileage....eeek...personally I think Ford should have gone a slightly different route with the diesel and gone larger with more power...but I remain on the fence, take rate will prove its worth if in fact it has any....as for the TC..BIG miscue there IMO, Tataniums only avail with a 2.5 regularly aspirated???? 2.0 eco would have been the ticket.
Maybe the 20EB will be added to the TI trim late model 15 or for 16.

Only the body shop is flexed, from there the bodies go to their own assembly and final trim lines
Nope. I have friends that work there, they share a line beginning to end.

I was under the impression that the E-series cutaway would only last through MY2015 to give KCAP time to ramp up to full transit production. I know Avon Lake is currently or about to start renovating for the new 650 and 750

Whatever they call it, I still think it will debut late this year and production in Flat Rock will be announced as well

People have been saying they've experienced similar percentage power loss on the Focus ST since its launch.
It's like taking the powder load out of a firecracker. Doesnt make quite the same bang

And I would add, the
AltimaNissan is the poverty queen special which is catering to high credit risk consumers. It's not because its THAT great of a product.Ford core products had a good year and increase sales, but it's all the other models that are experiencing the drops. Fiesta/Focus/Flex/Taurus that obviously need a freshening. And some just need the ax (MKT)...

Wow VW, so much for their goal of being the worlds largest automaker.
And I would add, the Altima is the poverty queen special which is catering to high credit risk consumers. It's not because its THAT great of a product.

Fiesta already had its refresh, I think it's probably at its sales ceiling. Especially if gas prices stay low for a long period of time.
Focus is in the middle of launching its refresh, TBD if it helps, I'm guessing it's going to be held back my fuel prices and a general lack of features vs. the competition.
Isn't flex due to get the axe soon, and likewise MKT?
I would guess we see a new Taurus debut sometime later this year as MY2016 as well a formal announcement of shifting production of it and MKS (which will probably debut this year as well) to Flat Rock.

Well, the press is spinning more negativity at F Series....only 5% December F-Series sales were 2015 models.
Consider the source. Motley Fool is not a good source.

I've seen a few in u-haul lotsTransit definitely catching on - saw a bunch of them on the road configured for shuttle service between Denver International and I-70 Ski Country over the Christmas and New Year Holiday.

apparently, they did and he/they dont care

Can't tell enough from that picture to make a judgment call on the styling. I will reserve my comments until after the NAIS introduction since the car will also have technical changes.
My opinion is that a separate series of hybrid/electric vehicles is a tough sell these days (except for the Prius). If the same technology could be incorporated into an existing car's line up (like the Malibu), then maybe they should drop the Volt altogether.
Does anyone know how sales of the Fusion Energi have been? Does the Energi have the same range on electric power as the Volt?
I'm not sure of the exact numbers, I thought pretty much every hybrid has better electric only range

But that was for Christmas Eve & Christmas. New Year's Eve & New Year's were in a different pay period. We should get a check on the 9th, no?
Hypothetically, and it should be a full check too, but The way labor has messed up so much of our pay this past year, anything can happen

-
So are we getting short work week for this week? Wed. & Thur. were paid holidays. Does that mean C-crew gets an extra 16 hours?
My committee man said that after Monday it was basically like getting paid for 5 8s. My Paystub showed some kind of goofy adjustment but it all added up
-
^^yup, probably screwed
-
It was almost immediately though, right down to how many I saw come down the line the week after the adjustment came throughHybrids in general are down and with the gas prices remaining low for the foreseeable future, don't expect that to change much

Romo has been good, now let's see if he can come through in the playoffs. History tells me he won't

or they lacked capacity to export to the US. this doesn't prove anything. in hind sight was it any more logical to retool MAP to build a product that barely sells over 40k per year?
They were selling better. MPG adjustment killed sales

Sometimes mistaken for a 50th anniversary badge...
Ok how do you f*** that up? It's been the same since what, 1988? Probably longer
-
I saw my first one on the road and it looked great, don't know how you tell the difference between the V6 and the Ecoboost but I know it wasn't the GT. It was also white.
Last night there was a white one sitting at the restaruant and it could of been the same one but I don't know, I just know it wasn't the GT.
I know the v6 version doesn't really have any extra badging on it, I would have to imagine the ecoboost version has ecoboos badging on it somewhere
