  1. An optional engine that gives you 30 more torques, a tailgate that people are making a big deal over for some reason, and a phone app. Good luck Lincoln. You certainly need it.
  2. The facts are (and you know how much some are bothered by the use of facts) But GM has "stuck" with the small block because they have had no reason to change. The modern Ford V8s are and were so uncompetitive they were laughable. There is a reason the mod V8s were nicknamed 'boat anchors'... Because that's what they did best. And now, those small block V8s get better mileage than a Ford V6. Ever since the modular family hit the market, GM has been lightyears ahead of Ford engines. The small block is sunrise reliable, cheap to make, very efficient, compact, cheap to repair (rare), etc. The only competition GMs engine family has had was from the 5.7 from Chrysler. And as good as the 5.7 is, the GM small block is a better engine.
  3. There is a reason why people use GM small blocks. They're very reliable, they're very cheap, they're compact (unlike any modern Ford motor) and can make great power for very low cost (unlike any modern Ford engine). It's very simple really.
  4. Hopefully this gets approved by the censors. Heard this on a local radio station: It's amazing how inept Bam Bam and his administration. Not taking responsibility for Fast and Furious. Not taking responsibility for the IRS scandal. Not taking responsibility for Benghazi. And now, not taking responsibility for the complete disaster that BamBam care has become. And you have to be seriously deficient in the IQ department if you believe that his NON-APOLOGY was sincere. Not only was that NOT an apology, he didn't take responsibility for anything. He is a liar....but that's nothing new. And FWIW, I work at a damn hospital. My insurance went UP!
  5. About time they get some decent gauges in there. The current gauges are terrible. Horribly hard to read and the stupid, fat needle takes up a very large amount of space. gauges that bad should have never made it past the post-it note they were jotted down on in design meetings.
  6. As is typical of Ford's of that era, the transmission was the weak point. They were known for going out.
  7. And Escape, Focus, Flex, heck, even the Fusion is just a mess of many different design elements. Styling and design are certainly not Ford strong points.
  8. A moron that is a realist and isn't fooling themselves as to Lincoln's place in the market?
  9. You're obviously one that will not let facts get in the way of your beliefs. "Climate change denier"? Is that what you call someone who simply looks at the facts and comes to the common sense conclusion that the entire 'global warming/climate change' hysteria is complete nonsense? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2485772/Global-warming-pause-20-years-Arctic-sea-ice-started-recover.html Don't let these 'inconvenient facts' get in the way of your inconvenient "truth".
  10. God I hope not. I know people here are advocates for building cars for the lowest skilled drivers that shouldn't be on the road...but if you keep your vehicle out of the water, you should be fine. If not, a vehicle does not sink fast, you have time. Break a window, stay calm, and do what you have to do to survive.
  11. Leave it to our inept government and their disgusting diesel regulations. First off, most of the diesel regs need to go away ad they make no sense at all. Second, if they insist on continuing with such stupid regulations, maybe make emergency vehicles exempt from them so as stupid crap like this can be avoided. And way to go Ford. Way to stick it to your customers. That's how you run a good business.
  12. All because of this nations insanely ignorant diesel regulations. And vehicles like this should not have to comply with this garbage. All emergency vehicles should have a 'hippy-liberal government' override that will allow the vehicle to function without all of the garbage. http://www.leftlanenews.com/ford-recalling-f-series-ambulances-over-stalling-engines.html
  13. The Dodge Ram received an extensive update for 2013.
  14. Thank you. This is a non-story. It's advertising disguised as a press release.
