I agree. People tend to oversimplify what is required to add just one other cluster layout. It's actually quite a bit of work and like with any company nowadays IT resources are limited and 'just for fun' projects go to the bottom of the priority list.
That being said it would be interesting to...
I'm just glad to see more people are coming around to the fact that S650 is basically a glorified S550 refresh. And mind you I totally understand why Ford went this route, the market is shrinking and times are uncertain at best. So from a business point of view this was probably the only way to...
Correct
Not entirely true. The MSRP over here contains between 12 and 15% dealer margin that they can play with to either jack up their profit margin, spice up the value of a trade in, or use for a discount when there is no trade in. The agency model prohibits the dealer from charging anything...
Various spy pix suggested that the export cars will get red taillights for this generation. However after last weekend in the first 2023 Supercars race in Australia all Mustangs featured clears I am not convinced anymore that this is going to be the case.
No they are not, which has been proven for many years now by Tesla. It does however make sense to tie delivery and service together, as they require local brick and mortar locations with branding. And so that is also what Tesla does.
The agency model that Ford wants to pursue makes a lot of...
The two year factory warranty is valid Europe-wide, so that should not be an issue. My 2016 came from Germany too and I've made one warranty claim on it in Netherlands which was validated without issue. Also you can buy these additional warranty packages everywhere too, so I'm assuming those are...
Just go to ford.de, download the 2023 price list and add EUR 3.000 to the base price of the vehicle of your choice. That will give you a pretty close approximation of the 2024 model price. The 2023 prices in Europe have more or less already been adjusted for the recent inflation and exchange...
Last year we all wrote a long topic about the loss of physical buttons for HVAC and major settings like drive mode/steering/exhaust but even after seeing these videos I stick by my opinion that this whole setup is a major step backwards, not just in the way it looks but also ergonomically. From...
Actually both cars and both engines are completely new for this year. The vehicles used in the series are only loosely based on road-going cars. Cars are custom made using a control chassis, with only certain body panels being common between the road cars and race cars. In a way they are more...
You should check out the HVAC controller in the new Ferrari Purosangue. That is so seriously clumsy that you need to stop the car by the side of the road to change temperature setting.
When Ford introduced the S650 they showed an animated video with various racing derivatives. One of them is bound to go racing in the Australian Supercars championship and this weekend it's on with the first race, the Newcastle 500.
The first videos from the Practice sessions have been posted...
As soon as you drive through your first corner you know you want the Recaros, they are that much better. On top of that the heating and cooling functions work pretty lousy, so you're not missing much there. Lastly the leather on the normal seats wears quickly, the Recaro leather stays nice a lot...
