you know where I saw a whole cavelcade of Ford high performance vehicles, good road and interior shots and "oh my, I want to check those out" advertising? Freaking lighting fixture company. Sounded similar to Mishimoto. GT500, F150, F150 Lightning, and Escape. I was on the edge of my seat...

not really, or not by the rest of the industry's definition of the term. The are MASSIVELY heavy. And if you look a them they don't have any of the appearance characteristics of ACTUALLY FORGED rims. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of the split-5 but don't delude yourself. If there is any...

another opportunity missed because of miopic cost-cutting/inertia. When Caddy and Chevolet offer them and the vehicles are priced "same" Ford has no leg to stand on.

AL chassis :) Ok on a more realistic stance, put some effort into Magneride and make it the default, so too the standard GT brakes. Git rid of the vast majority of artificial trim level differentiation.

yet aother techwriter gaff. Ford just needs to put this out in a CMS and let the Internet edit it for them. They clearly can't be bothered to proof-read.

and @Blueberrystang2000 dealership has something cooking. Rockit(?) too?

the front office is being slow on price strategy, I don't know why. They cleaned up last year at least matching Granger's strategy. And yes, @zstanny I totally think there should be a program to "say matt's name and get $3-400 off" deal. All I got from them last year was a $50 pre-paid gift...

if I remember my time in a 100A/101A eco correctly, the 'M' is 'S' in those cars. I agree it's just !STUIPD! what Ford is doing with idiotic feature delineation between trim levels. Every A10 should come with paddle shifters. 99% of the people never use them but the inventory management and...

At the risk of necro-threading, you do know that Ourisman Manassas does similar, right?

we've got a fistful down here in Ol' Virginny but there should be plenty to choose from up and down the coast.

You'll want to place that order soonest before Nite Pony gets allocated out. FWIW Ourisman Manassas has a large allocation of both normal and DH. They are actively taking orders - call/email Jason Clark. The front office is so far not telling me what the ## are but there's a plan afoot to pull...

You probably need 40,000 LUMEN light to see the 'blue' I reckon. It's probably like BlackHole Blue they did last year, it was black to anyone without a piece of white paper to put against it in full sunlight. I figured the indigo was more about accent stiching than the belt.

Price Shock PSA: admittedly this only applies to left over 2022 (and NOT Mach 1, as yet) but Ford is doing 0/60 and 1.9/72 for EB/GT for the month of March. So you get an "impossible" APR on a car MSRP priced considerably less than the MY23 hike and less than the MY24 hike(s). In case anyone...

you can buy the Brembos for $1000 new, retail. The PP very likely includes the Brembo, it would be utterly whack for it not. But $5000 is still highway robbery. It used to be $2500, then 3000, then 4000. Things get cheaper the more you make them. Not 25% more expensive one year to the next.

dealers don't actually pay the "invoice w/ holdback" figure except on paper. Ford throws various things like advertising and unit performance awards and other such things every period (month or quarterly) that lowers the price of goods they remit to Ford. But even if you discount those extras...

I think they rack up 500-1000 miles/yr driving to show after show after concourse. Seems to me the primary demographic is north 60, definitely over 50. There are some 40's with children under 15 but not often the ones spending the big $$$$. Aside from a handful of Silly-Con Valley "grossly...

mods should lock thread and/or mark it with the "Fake News" stamp.

and 10% of world market Lithium supply going off immediately for some number of weeks/months. You know it's bad when the CHINESE actually investigate their own (illegal) mining operations. I'm waiting for FTC to halt all import of cobalt from Congo - hey, the ban is on the law books. Why should...

Ace wants to give "us" an opportunity to once more re-open that can. The 650 bashed-in rear gives the duck-tail look without actually being one. Hello Hyundai Elantra styling element - much barf. I want "that guy" fired whom apparently Ford hired away from the Koreans, and the hiring manager...

correction, when Ford PR/media-relations faxes everybody their talking points, THEN the media will mindlessly repeat the platitudes without questioning any of assertions contained therein. This is how 'News' is done.
