same as the Fusion.
They invest to get IP rights and then put the better design cues into their line.
They invested in LR and Rivian and their B-Sport def has some new defender visual cues in it.
It makes people associate the Ford line with the more 'upscale' competitor without actually...
OTD Price and I finance through my Credit Union.
If it helps them justify their OTD price, I will take the loan with them for 3 months so they can get their manufacturing finance kick-back and then it is on to my credit union for the remainder of the loan.
Group buys are great.
But need the...
I just reached the point of being able to buy an old EB?
Decision Making
EB:
Nostalgia
Appearance (maybe)
Home Mechanic Upgradeable.
Bronco/Bronco
Payment over Lump Sum
Warranty
4 Doors
Modern Safety
Modern MPG
To name a few
I'm on the Bronco/Bronco bandwagon.
EBs are awesome. But with a...
I want to believe that is just camouflage.
The Bronco looks lame with those small SUV tires next to the Wrangler.
If Ford is stealth driving the Wrangler, it was a weak move to put these two together in front of the public.
They are lame. Good for sedans I guess. Hated the "puck" we had in an insurance covered rental.
Sedan's it is 'ok'. Definitely NOT for a truck/SUV. Like going back in time to push button vacuum shifting on old Scouts.
2007 Highlander with 150k+.
I would like to make available as the "Kids Around Town SUV" for them to get to work or whatever.
Bronco needs to be
1. Awesome
2. Priced within range of the Wrangler.
I am leasing a Top off for summer next year as a family fun culture activity.
Hope it is the Bronco.
EV-HY
Yep. Hybrid EV is where it is at. Won't buy (will lease) until they have one.
An overnight charge for even 40 miles would give me 80% of my weekday driving "free" of Petrol.
As long as I can merge on the highway and take a reasonable pace down woods roads, the overall weight does not...
I lost 30lbs last year. Finally got back into Mt Biking at 47.
But, a few outliers do not a trend make. Maybe a slow leveling there as we moved into 2010.
Fast search did not show more recent data.
Not everyone likes "Twiggies" anyway. Being slightly heavier is not all bad.
Sorry, not going to happen.
Crossovers and SUV gets 50-100% better MPG than sedans from a decade or two ago.
PLUS, all that sweet storage space and riding height.
Americans are not getting any thinner either.
We looked at FusionS, SHO, and WRX.
17yo sons opinion?
- Fusion: Balanced
- SHO: You are not a grandfather yet
- WRX (disclaimer, it had a wing): Midlife Crisis Much?
Heck, if the Fusion feels dated, go into Collab with Subaru and offer a Ford/WRX Variant like SAAB did. The Saabaru was awesome.
