Or maybe just do a GT3 based unlimited class, so same chassis but fewer restrictions on engine size and power and other components. Active aero and suspensions. Supercharged V8s. More exotic materials. And no freakin’ BOP adjustments.
You do have a point there, they could be recouping costs by probably making that "power roll out tray" an added option... I can see that...people like to be wowed by the little things... add to it an optional "puppy staircase"...
dont forget stock ordersare effected by commoditie issues...all fine and dandy getting inventory...only to find its missing a really popular option....Hardtop anyone?...Sasquatch anyone? V6 engine anyone....
I just looked and could not find a single 2wd F150 XLT within 100 miles.
I paid $37K for my loaded (back then) 2wd XLT Supercab 3.5l ecoboost. Due strictly to inflation that’s $46K today. Add back the $10k I got in rebates and discounts and you’re at $56K. It’s a combination of more features, less or no discounts and simple inflation.
Well, we'll have to agree to disagree. I feel the detailing on the Ypsilon is terrible. The green Peugeot is by far the best of the bunch, IMO....(except those ugly wheels lol). The Opel is next with the Citroen and Ypsilon are tied for a distant third.
I've always preferred cleaner designs.....they look more elegant to me - adding a ton of trim, extra shapes, etc. tells me they're overstyling it and that the base design wasn't good enough, so they tack on "look at me" elements to overcome it.
Hopefully they do a quick turnaround between the debut and on-sale dates instead of the usual long drawn out waiting period. I've never understood why they debut something and wait a year to put it on sale, killing the initial excitement of the new model's debut.
These, especially the green hatch, are great examples of the sort of styling direction Ford should strive for with their future affordable compact EVs. Sharp, eye catching, but not over styled.
I had a 75 Pinto Wagon for my college years. It was reliable for me also but also had rust holes in body. Lots of good memories. My friend had a Chevy Vega and the Pinto was far superior.
