Dude, you have no idea.....if she is warm, she'll turn it all the way to "LO" and a few minutes later when it gets cold, then it is up, Up, UP to "HI" to warm up....I tell her that if she kept it constant and one set temp, she would be fine...but, I'm just a guy...what the hell do I know as my temperature stays at a nice level 68 degrees....maybe if it is sub-zero, I might nudge it up to 70....lol
Like what if the road going Mustang had the low-slung stance/profile of a Mustang GT3 race car.
The GR GT and the GR GT3 race car are almost identical (sort of like the Ford GT).
Don’t be thinking the current production limit is a true hard point.
During the Fusion / MkZ days, Hermosillo was punching out well over 300,000 annually
and Louisville achieved 430,000 in one year thanks to upgrades for Corsair production
Smallish runs of something like vans could be set up and run on super saturdays
where they are run through in batches so as to not disrupt regular production.
Hello everyone.
Just bought my first pony. I have wanted one for over 40 years, but life just seem to get in the way.
Just got a grey 2014 GT with less than 2000 miles. Get to pick it up in a week!!
Any way, really excited and looking forward to it.
'I'm hot natured, wife is cold natured and our vehicles have had dual climate control forever. But we only use it once or twice a year. Could easily live without it.

It's not that difficult... Ford needs 2 different size compact CUV. A short one and a long one. That's the competitive landscape.
~4.4 meters/175 inches: Bronco Sport vs. Corolla Cross, HR-V, Crosstrek, CX-30, Trailblazer, Encore GX, Taos, Qashqai, 3008, Karoq, Compass, Grandland, C5 Aircross, Austral
~4.6 meters/180 inches: Escape/Kuga/Territory vs. RAV4, CR-V, Forester, CX-50, Equinox, Envision, Tiguan, Rogue/X-Trails, 5008, Kodiaq, Cherokee, 5008, Espace
The fact that Bronco Sport was North America only and come exclusively with AWD was just a product planning mistake. It works for the US market and is a very well presented product but it should have been rolled out to other markets. Same with Maverick.
Who knows what Ford is really planning on doing next gen but it is very obvious why it's market share is plummeting in Europe, China, and few other markets. A brand that is known for SUVs does not have enough SUV for sale... How to fix it is also very obvious.
The Bronco Sport I almost bought had a single temp control as well (..and it was a Badlands trim to boot!!) I was really concerned about that because the g/f is always adjusting her side and I would likely end up breaking her arm to leave the controls alone.....lol. Not a good option.
