Hi Monics. I second akirby's recommendations, and would also add Zeigler Automotive to his list: https://www.zeiglerfordesp.com/warranty_plans/?plan_id=2130&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1702246218&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkfyc3fSmkQMVAUX_AR0DLgz2EAAYASAAEgJ3bfD_BwE   Check out all three, and sign with the one offering the best price. Also, be sure to compare apples to apples, since there are various plans and options ... i.e.: - A basic powertrain plan up to the full Lincoln Protect PremiumCare plan). - Year/mileage limits. - Deductibles (from $0 and up). - Optional coverage choices, such as LED lighting, Key Coverage, Extended Rental Coverage etc.     Let us know how you make out and good luck. 

And another one.... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ford-recalls-nearly-109-000-144249718.html

Yeah I'm digging it. If you kinda split the difference between this, and the s650, and landed somewhere in the middle, that's kinda the styling direction I'd like to see the mustang go in, it just has a ton of road presence.   As for price, people are quoting 120k for the road car in multiple articles which wouldn't be terrible to be honest. But I don't know if that's a price Toyota has actually thrown out there, or if it's just speculation. 

It'll be interesting to see if CE1 style designs can accommodate ICE powertrains. A potential packaging issue is if the truck and other models have a cab forward, short hood look, it might be really challenging to package an ICE powertrain and other necessary items in there in a way that doesn't make it an absolute nightmare to work on. 

I think it's more likely we'll see a HEV/PHEV small truck or suv based on ce1 Design and Manufacturing techniques to lower costs.  If the EV starts at $30K then an ICE version might come in closer to $20K.

Will we see the return of the 13k Ford fiesta? I strongly doubt it. Do I believe this increases the likelihood of Ford bringing a new fusion here that starts at under 30k? Yeah I do. 

@DeluxeStang should have a field day with this one.  😎. Styling is very AMG GT.   Looks like Toyotas version of the mustang GT3/GTD.  I heard rumors of a $500K price tag which I don't believe.  I think $200k-$300k is more realistic.   Interesting that they went front engine and not mid engine.  Performance should be stellar.

There is a huge difference between affordable and cheap cars. 

It makes it possible whereas the old rules made it almost impossible.  Someone will fill that void but don't expect to see $11k Nissan Versas.  Affordable doesn't mean cheap sedans or tiny cars.

They do it because they get away with it.  Most buyers either don't know or don't care and the few that do are offset by the cost savings.  For us it's frustrating but we're the tiny minority.
