fordmantpw Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 No, I've never used that. Like I said in the previous post, I pretty much just stick to the Ford discussion and competition section. Does the new content feature show any new post? Dude, you HAVE to use the 'View New Content' feature. That is the only way to read the forum. It shows every thread that has a post that you haven't read yet. With the latest update, you can now filter by forum. This feature is awesome, BTW, because I can now filter out the Ford Employee forum. I just have a bookmark on my browser that takes me directly to the new content page.

akirby Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hmm. Perhaps I'll look into that haha. You'll never go back. I didn't know you could filter it now based on forums. That will help a lot. Bookmark it and you get one list with all the new threads at the top. Read the ones you want and skip the ones you don't care about. You can tell in one click if there is anything new to read. Just try it - one click away on the main page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I expect a significant refresh to bring it in line the mkx and mkc along with additional features. Maybe it even gets the Ford Performance AWD system. And the 'Nano' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 And the 'Nano' Maybe, but the 2.3L would be quite a jump from the current 2.0L. Maybe the 2.3 is the Fusion ST and the RS gets the 2.7EB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Nano would replace the D37 eventually in Lincoln. The EB23 would replace the EB20 perhaps. Just MHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hmm. Perhaps I'll look into that haha. And after you are done reading what you want and skipping what you don't want, you can mark all content as read and the list will be empty. That way, when you come back next time, you won't have to skip over as much stuff that you don't want to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 C-Max sales started dropping when the fuel economy adjustment was made. IIRC, they were selling around double their current levels (I think they were up around 3,000/month). Once that happened, they dropped, although it seems as though they've stabilized around the 1,300-1,600/month level recently. One factor on C-Max sales that we rarely see mentioned - right around the same time MPG was revised, Transit Connect started showing up for taxi fleets and Ford pulled back on C-Max going to NYC. If Ford is going to do a real Prius or Volt like dedicated PHEV on the next generation C-car platform (as oppose to C-Max, which is the wrong form factor for the US market), they might as well start thinking about putting a non-hybrid version of C-Max out there with lower MSRP.

Eh, I don't know if I really see TC affecting the C-Max too much. Though on the NYC taxi fleet topic....I never understood why they went with that Nissan over the TC. And yes, I think the current rumors are that they were going to work on a hybrid family. What form those vehicles take, I'm not sure.

Or just filter on the few forums you do care about. It's handy to at least see everything (except maybe the employee forums and vehicle locater stuff) because you never know when something might get posted that interests you. If not just skip it.

fuzzymoomoo Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I don't think we will see the non-hybrid C-Max in the U.S. when they already have the Focus hatch. AFAIK, the only reason the C-Max hybrid is here is because they couldn't get the hybrid powertrain to fit in the focus without an extensive rework.

buddysystem Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yank the hybrid crap out of it and it'll sell better. MCE wouldn't hurt either. AWD might be nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I definitely understand wanting to be able to find past sales figures easily (I've dug through threads to find them before a few times), but the main discussion forum and the competition section are pretty much the only sections I check on a regular basis, and are definitely the most traveled sections - I just think the threads would get lost and have low traffic if they get moved all around to many various subforums. For instance, when a few threads got moved a few weeks back, the threads died. Great suggestion from PD! I think that works perfectly, as we can have the typical discussion in the high traffic forum, and then after we'll be able to go right to the new sales subforum to find past threads. I think you're right about the change on the C-MAX's fuel rating effecting sales in a negative way. Dude, you HAVE to use the 'View New Content' feature. That is the only way to read the forum.
