  1. Their pricing isn't so much lower than comparably trimmed mainstream Canyorados, Tacomas and Rangers, which many here and generally feel have risen too far. And they appeal to folks who don't want a turbo. There is good aftermarket support for them, Also, they and Tacoma offer a crew cab w/6ft box, and the Frontier is the only midsize truck currently offering a King Cab with opening rear doors (SMH Taco). Tacoma is now built in Mexico, an important factor for many in this market segment.
  2. Must be a barn fan blowing cropped out of the photo; the article says it has no drivetrain.
  3. Ahh, Flex. Alas, we hardly knew ye.
  4. ..."BlueOval City in Tennessee, spanning 15.53 million square meters... 출처 : Businesskorea(https://www.businesskorea.co.kr) That's nearly six square miles; City, indeed.
  5. 10-4. Ford Popular or Consul don't sound like £40,000 -£60,000 cars.
  6. Much the same was true for the advent of CSI questionnaires mailed out in the 80's- back when we had to wear a blazer and a tie.
  7. The Mercury (US) Capri name was first used for the top Lincoln model above the Cosmopolitan. It was available in 2dr hardtop coupe, 4dr sedan and a very handsome convertible:
  8. We've had some fun mocking the Neue Klass for its almost retro look, but you can only do so much with aero design and still have a practical machine. I don't think aero uber all results in a good design direction for an automobile. Even commercial aircraft have run up against this; Cx can only be reduced by tiny amounts now. Other than having four engines, there's very little visual difference between a 1959 Boeing 707-320 and a 2018 Airbus A220-300:
  9. My neighbor has one and he just got done washing... oh, wait. That's his '89 Datsun 240SX.
  10. I am noticing that 91 E0 is running at 70-80¢/gal more than 87 E10 in @ice-capades area, although the latter is consistently higher . Around the Greater TC Metro, 91 E0 is 0.90-$1.05/ gallon higher.
  11. The kids have left home, time to trade in the Beewick for something they've always wanted.
  12. I perceive a cooling or change in lifestyle starting to gain traction. As we travel throughout the Midwest, I'm seeing an increase in the number of RVs of all types for sale in people's yards; they can't all be upgrading. What I'm hearing from neighbors and acquaintances that own RV's ranging from van conversions and single axle hitch mounts and larger is, that it's getting harder to find or reserve camping spots, and insurance has gone up like auto insurance has. All this will have an effect on large van and Super Duty-type truck sales, new and used. Maybe a tandem axle, twin pull-out yanked with a 13mpg dually isn't as relaxing as it first seemed. I think economics and logistics are beginning to have as much impact, more or less, as government programs aimed at electrification. A PHEV and hotel points might be worth considering for some. Included hot breakfast and somebody else does the dishes and makes the bed. Works for me.
  13. I recall @ice-capades posted an article shortly before the contract vote outlining Fain's ties to Socialist movers and shakers. In it, he was shown in accompanying photos with them. It was as alarming as it was enlightening.
