Man. they can't go too much cheaper. Looks like a kit car cluster.

Yea, I understand what you're sayin' jpd80, though some of the cancelled products were shithouse TBH.   It ain't just Australia and Europe where Ford is becoming more, uh, focused with its product lineup.  It's happenin' almost everywhere Ford has a presence. And it's the right thing to do. Ford can't afford to piss away precious time, money, and other resources on products that aren't in the five categories I mentioned earlier.  Body on frame Truck/SUV/Van "Passion" or "iconic" Electric/New Energy Commercial

Not asking for new products, just please expand those existing products into our local market. Yes, RHD is a big issue. As I said above Aussie market is  down to Thai built Ranger & Everest plus a few Mustangs and Transits. In spite of that, Ford Australia sales is in second place behind Toyota who is more than double those sales. Down here, Ford leads all other brand sales in spite of nothing else available to sell.

I’m no saying the products are shithouse, I’m saying the effort to supply anything more to the Aussie market than Ranger and Everest is extremely piss poor. It’s like Ford has given up trying to sell anything else

If Bollinger ends up in the commercial vehicle manufacturer graveyard, Harbinger Motors may be a good alternative for Class 5 (and Class 6). Harbinger is gettin' a $160 million infusion in Series C funding from FedEx and others.   GARDEN GROVE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Harbinger, a leading American-made medium-duty electric and hybrid vehicle manufacturer, today announced it has raised $160 million in a Series C funding round co-led by FedEx, the world's largest express transportation company; Capricorn's Technology Impact Fund, a multibillion-dollar investment firm backing leading companies in electrification; and the world's largest recreational vehicle (RV) manufacturer THOR Industries, known for its operating companies which include Airstream, Jayco, and more. The round also featured major participation from Ridgeline, a longtime Harbinger investor backed by FedEx. Additional previous Harbinger investors that participated in the round include Tiger Global; Leitmotif, a U.S. venture capital firm backed by Volkswagen; and venture capital firms Maniv Mobility, Schematic Ventures, Overture Climate, Ironspring Ventures, ArcTern Ventures, Litquidity Ventures, and The Coca-Cola System Sustainability Fund, managed by Greycroft. With this round, Harbinger has raised $358 million to date.   "Any vehicle that holds up to our rigorous on-road testing and offers state-of-the-art safety features with lower total cost of ownership is win-win for drivers and for our business," said Paul Melander, Senior Vice President of Safety and Transportation, FedEx. "As we work toward a goal to electrify the entire FedEx pickup and delivery fleet by 2040, this trifecta of performance, price, and operational resilience is what we need to be able to continue to scale. We look forward to bringing these Class 5 and 6 units into our fleet and seeing electric medium-duty trucking options—like what Harbinger is offering—become more accessible in the marketplace for commercial fleets of all sizes."    

This happened probably 30-35 years ago in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A sedan with four women were traveling someplace near Marquette when they hit a deer.  The deer went through the front windshield, killing the gal riding shotgun, kept on going into the back seat area killing another lady, and exited out the back window.  I didn't know any of the women killed, but vaguely knew some of the other family members.  I always think of that whenever I see deer near a highway.

I had a good friend from high school who lived in California.  She had a law degree from Harvard and was starting a new job.  12 years ago she drove up to a railroad crossing, got out and walked right in front of the train.  To this day nobody knows why she did it or saw any warning signs.  Bizarre and very tragic.

I didn't even know about the B4 and B5.......so, D) all of the above.  lol

Only costing me $100 😂

I once saw a guy get hit by a car on the freeway. It was headline news that day because of the circumstances. MSP investigation determined it was intentional. That image of him flying through the air will forever be burned into my memory.
