Ford CEO Jim Farley Says Puma Would End Up Like Flex If Sold In The United States   In a recent interview with Car and Driver, Farley was asked what he thought would happen if the Ford Puma did indeed come to the U.S. "Too expensive, too small, I think. You and I would love it," he said. "The question is, would it be like the Flex, where the people who owned it loved it, but there just weren't enough of them?" Notably, it was back in 2021 when Farley publicly expressed his desire to see the Puma sold in North America and other markets.       I think it would've sold decently because it had style to it, unlike the EcoSport.

Highlights:   -Mustang has seemingly rebounded for whatever reason.   -Bronco Sport isn't absorbing most Escape sales.   -EV sales continue to be in the toilet   -Expedition and Explorer are doing well   -Ranger is doing better, even with Maverick below it   -F-series still down, but I'm sure inventory is still affected by the fires.   -Over at Lincoln, they had a great month overall, aside from Corsair, which will obviously decline throughout the year......I wonder if we'll see anything happen with importing the Chinese model or not.

That's why I loved X plan.  Not only was there no haggling on price the doc fee was limited to $100 and the dealer could not keep incentives or dealer cash.

Yeah, I don't think CD6 has anything to do with D3.   It may have some relation to CD4, but more in electrical components rather than the platform itself.

You tube is your friend...

I too am a Ford loyalist. That's why I get so upset when they make some of the decisions they make. Like dropping Taurus, Fusion, Escape. I won't go into the EV debacle. 

I remember all the speculation over GRWD chassis....then, D3 appeared and POOF....it was gone....

Hey!! Bloated / stubby was a nickname I had back in junior high school....😅

My dealer tries to add the fees on.  I just say that I'm not paying it.  Then we argue, they complain about not making any money, I threaten to walk, they so "OK, but state law says we have to charge at least $49" and I say "no it doesn't, but I'm not going to argue over $49 on a huge purchase, let's get this over with so I can get away from you slimy bastards."  Or something like that anyway...
