Yea, exactly. Remember what Ford's head honcho said back in August?   This is a Model-T moment for us at Ford. A chance to bring a new family of vehicles to the world that offer incredible technology, efficiency, space, and features.   Jimbo and Billy Boy also used Model-T moment theme in their statement about F-150 Lightning start of production in 2022:   As Bill Ford said today, “This moment [F-150 Lightning start of production] is every bit as important to the company as when the Model T first started rolling off the assembly line.” He’s exactly right.   Of course, we all know how disastrous FoMoCo's handling of that product turned out to be. The credibility of Ford's big shots is now worse than that of politicians. If Ford doesn't deliver with Universal Electric Platform and Production System, they won't have a another chance.

It'd be hard not to!  lol

And next year should be way down as a result.  

Yeah I forgot about the GM version! Thanks for refreshing my memory!

The old Conventional Wisdom was to wait until the second year to buy a new model- let them work the bugs out. The new CW is, best to buy the first year, because the following years will have less standard equipment, or moved to a higher trim and the series will likely have recalls anyway.

More like the 60's GM B Series (top) Ford N-Series (bottom)  

Ford Ends 2025 With 100 More Recalls Than Crosstown Rival   According to the latest data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Ford has issued 153 recalls as of this writing, which is exactly 100 more than its cross-town rival, second-place Stellantis, at 53. Coming in third place is recreational vehicle maker Forest River (36), followed by General Motors (27), International Motors (26), Volkswagen (25), Hyundai (21), and Honda (21).  

Meh, Subarus have historically been anonymous blobs, IMO, until they've recently become more bizarre looking.

According to the Stay Connected: EV Monthly Recharge report for December 2025, EVs accounted for 9.5 percent of U.S. new vehicle sales through November 2025. Since about a quarter of new car shoppers are very interested in buying an EV, there's a lot of unfulfilled demand.    And a great opportunity for automakers, especially those not named Tesla, to take advantage of that demand (the report said Year-to-date, market leader Tesla sold roughly 30,000 fewer vehicles than at this point last year and has ceded about 2.3 percentage points of EV market share, equivalent to a roughly 6 percent decline in share.)
