rmc523 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I stopped reading his rants a while ago. While sometimes interesting to hear thoughts, his cycle of “harp on subjects Xyz (namely Sergio, Musk, Farley) for the month” got old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 His hatred for Farley is over the top and even worse than before. How is this a “Bronco launch” failure when it’s 18 months after launch in the 2nd model year AND it’s an engine that’s been in production for over 7 years?

It appears that Autoextremist is reiterating Ford's history of disastrous product launches and then going into his well-known tirades criticizing automotive industry executives. As you mentioned, it's been over a year since the Bronco launch, so Autoextremist used the recent NHTSA investigation of Bronco V6 engine failures as an excuse to attack Jim Farley. In this particular rant, Autoextremist also managed to take a jab at Elon Musk yet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Mary3 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 In all fairness, Peter didn't like Farley when he was at Toyota either..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He liked him less when Farley cancelled the advertising contract for the company that PDL owned. Pete’s just an old man yelling at the wall and wishing it was yesterday 1960s glory days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
