I decided to find info on the Shark Hybrid truck mentioned in the article, it's not what I expected (some Subaru Brat type thing), it's a real BOF truck:
Looks like BYD is full speed ahead for Mexico and South America, regardless of whether it can import into the U.S..

Handling on crossovers and even trucks is so much better than it used to be, plus 99% of drivers never push it hard enough to notice a difference. Outside of true sports cars and a few Caddy and German sedans it’s just not needed.
Then you have Edge ST (dead now), Explorer ST and Aviator GT and Raptors with plenty of high performance. Performance is not just cornering.
New update on my F350 limited.
i ordered the truck on 20 April 2024 and my truck has arrived at my dealership in Ocala today 21Jun 2024. So two months and one day from order to dealership.
We ordered ours in February. Said to expect delivery in July, and that's what it still says today. Not a big deal for us as we have only charged outside of the home twice in the 7500 miles we've had it, but it will be nice to have the flexibility when the charger finally arrives (if we can get the Mach-E to update to the latest version to be able to use it).
Agree with the sentiment. Ford took away the handling as an option, unless you want a Mustang. Crown Vic and Cayenne an interesting comparison. Price points are radically different. It seems premium products from Ford (Lincoln) are not oriented in the direction of performance.
