Crossover. The sedan is for sure flat rock unless they move the coupe and shut it down. Cuautitlan might handle all 3.

So offer an upgraded version for those who want it but keep the entry price low with 250 range. Same concept as offering base cars with anemic engines and offering the customer the choice to upgrade.

ExplorerDude hinted at it very strongly and it makes sense.

I forgot it was Bezos.

It does for what the Edge ended up as which was expensive to build and lacking a hybrid powertrain. Instead they'll replace it with a mustang crossover offering high performance and styling. Had they moved it to C2 with updated styling and a hybrid powertrain like Nautilus then I think both would still be in Oakville. You can get away with higher costs if you're not in a competitive segment like Maverick and Bronco sport. But when you're competing with 8 other blobs you better have super low build cost if you want to make money because the price pressure from the Koreans and Nissan is relentless.

Yet revenue and profit stays the same or goes up. That tells you everything you need to know about those vehicles.

Both Valencia and Cleveland produce the 2.3L so it's probably limited to one or the other.

Remember it's an E-cvt not a regular cvt. It's more like a traditional transmission.

Just wait until they find out exactly how much companies are willing to pay for that anonymized data.

Well this is a new one. Good that it only affects 1500 vehicles, but also puzzling since the range is 3 vehicles over 2 years and that's the base engine.

That article is about oems selling in china. And it doesn't account for all of the various subsidies including battery production and other suppliers and raw materials. They also inflate sales with artificial demand which lowers unit costs. When 35% of your income comes from the gov't that's huge. Selling in China is one thing. Selling in foreign countries is entirely different and nothing is stopping the chinese govt from doing more subsidies on top of what they were already given. That's not to say they don't have cost benefits from other things as mentioned, but that is clearly not the entire picture.

Oh but they've already gotten over $230B in subsidies from the chinese govt who has also encouraged massive overproduction. Combine that with China's subversive activities and it's easy to see where they might try to take over foreign markets by selling at or below cost. And the govt would gladly apply more subsidies to help with that.
