The rumours for CE1 was mid sized pickup first, then Utility (Tesla Y product space?) and a van for Ford pro but I wonder if the order is different, still maybe one vehicle launched per year?

The gas tax indexed to inflation would handle most of this naturally. The federal gas tax hasn’t gone up since the early 90’s. Everything else has gone up in price significantly. Creating a much smaller pool of real world dollars for transportation projects. 

Kinda like how I wouldn't want to market a mustang by calling it a real hit with the crowds. 

It's well documented that strict emissions regulations played a sizable role in brands like Ford phasing out smaller, affordable cars over time, it was just too difficult to make money on them. I wonder if they'll be thinking about bringing some of those models back to the states with these changes. 

Not sure you want to use that term in describing a car....    

That was exactly it.  Why this concept is so hard for some to grasp is beyond me.  If I have $10k to invest in stocks and all else is equal are you buying the stock that pays $50 in dividends or $100 in dividends?   It should be part of every business case but it’s not always the primary decision point.  There can be other factors such as regulatory compliance (current and future), capital investment, budget, strategic market positioning, suppliers, PR, etc.  But in cases like class 8 and focus/fusion they have 2 choices with one being clearly better financially with only minor drawbacks.

Yep. Then you have that SCEecoboost dipshit who is like obsessed with being negative on every article FA writes. Like he's a prime example of the kind of person you can't please. He keeps saying bring back sedans, but was also bitching about Ford offering a new affordable EV performance sedan, and a mustang sedan, it's so stupid. If Ford made a new affordable gas powered sedan, he'd complain that it was turbocharged, and if it was naturally aspirated, he'd complain about it being underpowered.    I'm a huge car enthusiast, but I'm getting kinda tired of these sorts of people. I'm just thrilled about the prospect of a sedan making a return, even better if it's something sporty. Far too many people just can't be satisfied these days. 

The first comment is why I give zero shits about internet comments about cars LOL

A big shot here, a big shot there, who cares? It's obvious this is a political stunt
