Right on cue......

Yeah that is odd. I still maintain that a sunroof should always ALWAYS be a standalone option.

That's like automakers only offering manuals in stripped out base models then claiming nobody buys them duh!

Good point! I never did like any of the chrome laden models of the new Chevy, but I didn’t mind the monochrome versions. With that said, I have now seen a number of them in the wild and I have since changed my mind. But in person, It is a very oddly proportioned vehicle with weird lines. If I were a Chevy guy, I would have to pass up the Chevy dealer and drive straight to the GMC dealership. The Sierra is at least tolerable.

If there's one thing the Euros do good, it's racing. Whoever invented drag is honestly a weirdo.

You know, the other problem is dipshit salespeople who can't be bothered to learn their products are going to tell people the number means horsepower which is going to cause it's own set of problems.

It's good for a few laughs if nothing else. My wife was telling it to our mechanic when she was in his shop a few weeks ago, and he was just dumbfounded. Then there was this conversation I had with my salesman yesterday after he called Ford after realizing we were 2 weeks past the latest delivery date that he had been told: SM: "Hey, how are you doing?" Me: "Living the dream. And yourself?" SM: "Me too. Hey, we saw your car was well past the estimated delivery date, and called Ford to find out why. You won't believe this." Me: "What, that it's sitting in a parking lot at Flat Rock without a steering wheel?" SM: "You knew?" Me: "Yeah. Came off the line on 2/18 and has been parked for a month." SM: "Um, yeah. Seems there was a part supply issue" Me: "Yup. Strike in Mexico resulted in them shutting down the line for 3 weeks, then making 8000 cars without wheels." SM: "How many??" Me: "8000. That's going to take a while to fix. Could be weeks. Could be months." SM: "Uh, yeah. The regional rep says they should have it 'worked out' by April 5, but that might just be the supply issue." Me: "Yeah. Who knows?" SM: "Well, you said you didn't want it while there was snow on the ground." Me: "Absolutely. April would work for me." As long as I had him off guard, I got him to agree to get me a hard copy of the brochure to keep along with the car.

I liked the simple alphanumeric models then throw a 4 or a V to designate AWD or performance models. Most non car people won’t get it or care about if a XT5 has a 400 next to it. This reminds me of the “let’s put the GM square logo on the fender of everything”. Unlike most folks on here, I welcome change and new ideas, but I don’t think this is one worth the effort. Even Ford’s major loss in the “mobility” stuff, ie chariot. If you don’t try new stuff you will never change. I feel that’s what happened to sears. They had the biggest catalog sales of anyone. But instead of keeping with the times and taking some chances like amazon. They stayed the same and lost it all.

What's the automatic thinking about a 4-door Mustang-based/theme car would be called "Mustang"?. Torino, Taurus, Fairlane other names can be used for this car which is probably the plan. IMO Ford will need 2 sedan/hatch from this point forward, a Foucs (sedan/hatch) and a CD6 "Taurus" (sedan/hatch).

Such a fun movie back in the day, lol.

Maybe the frame couldn't handle the stress of putting gas in the gas tank.
