Yes it is-I work in building that is roughly as old as I am that is maintained by the government and was built by the lowest bidder. I've only been back in the office a full week since the Spring, and the building had to be shut down a couple of times because of mold and HVAC issues that never get taken care of. Its a bad work environment and people are getting sick from it.    If your going to force people to work onsite, they better have decent/good working areas or they are going to leave or find a job that allows them to work remotely. 

I somehow didn't know about the emissions scandal.  How many truck brands can any company own before an antitrust suit kicks in either nationally or globally?

Yeah I just read this yesterday. Was this necessary? Is it necessary to destroy a landmark?  Nowhere do I see the cost!  Where did they get the money? With EV sales not that great; recalls breaking the bank; and the UAW planning to ask for the return of pension plans for ALL workers and also everlasting medical care, I think it was a bad decision.

I’ll buy that for a dollar

Waiting on the 4V 4.6 was my assumption as well. Sales of the Mark VII had really tapered off by the end of its run so you would think they would have replaced it sooner.   I thought the first car to get the 4.6 2V was the '91 Lincoln Town Car?    Anyway, I also looked at several Thunderbird SCs before settling on this Mark VII which is ironically the exact opposite of what I did in 1989. The SC that I bought new in 1989 was super reliable but I have heard lots of horror stories about blown head gaskets, etc. The resale value on those is horrible as well with even less parts availability compared to anything with a Fox chassis.   Hard to beat the reliability of the good old Windsor small block but I wouldn't be at all opposed to an eventual Coyote/10-speed swap on this one. The cool factor would be awesome.

Of course it is. It wasn’t when I read it 😒

Every time I raised the question his reply was it was never requested by North America. North America paid for development of Bronco and as the lead T6.2, it also picked up all the costs with gasoline engine packages.  

Indeed, RAV4and its hybrid version are very popular in Australia, so hoping change to low Sulfur fuels in December opens the door to more products for Australia 

This is where all the money derived from decontenting is going🤣

In the Philippines it gets a Hybrid (non-plugin) powertrain, it's a series-parallel type with a 215hp electric motor paired to a 148hp 1.5 turbo. Ford Territory Hybrid Titanium X: Premium SUV | Ford PH
