I prefer to use the term, "quaint". LOL. 😁 I think every generation of every model goes through a "blue" period where it's just not "in". Things fall out of flavor. People look to the latest. Thinking long, long-term, some models and their characteristics become welcome again, some don't. A lot...

I've come to love my car's imperfections. Good for a laugh. :giggle: Whomever was working on my car on the left side was either tired, recovering from the weekend, facing unemployment, or under the influence. :crazy: - Driver's side door a little off. The upper part of the door is a bit more...

If you go back and look at the GT PP vs. Mach 1 vs Mach 1 HP, there were subtle physical differences between the suspensions. IMO, the Magneride units installed to support those different suspensions operated differently, with different car suspension tunes supporting those uniquely-optioned...

If she hasn't taken it already, confirm your e-mail with her. As your build moves through the different stages, Ford will send update e-mails (Scheduled for Production, VIN, In Production, etc.). Dealers often send complimentary e-mails as well. Post sale, e-mails can continue from Ford, for...

I don't mind the all-digital displays a bit. My concerns are of styling and lack of integration. Multiple screens and features: great. But don't just 1) throw a second screen inside and 2) place it in an interior with throwback bits from the 80s. A more consistent interior theme and appearance...

Check with local, county offices where you live. When I was considering an out-of-state purchase (NV-to-CO), I reached out to my DMV. They directly cited the law, provided me with forms, explained what I would pay and gave me options as to how to pay. It was good way to grease the skids. I'm...

I have Recaros and love them. Fit and appearance is excellent. Very comfortable. I felt they were worth it. I wanted an enthusiasts' seat in fit and finish, with weight reduction (non-electric, no heating, no cooling).

I'm surprised as well. I'd have thought Ford would have already fed a 650 to at least a handful of reviewers to get some feedback posted and pique interest. Maybe they have a timeline, but we're just not there yet. The Order Guide, as published now, does not list the RSD as an option.

People do trade-in and trade-up all the time, are happy with and enjoy their cars. Good on them. But doing so often hands all the advantages to the dealer, who wins on both sides of the trade. If financing with that dealer is involved, even more so. Dealer wants and accepts a person's trade-in...

The numbers I posted are the real numbers, as part of the required Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). You can double-check any of Ford's financials by looking at the SEC filings or the Ford web site...

A link to an inflation calculator follows: https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm A link to Ford's financials follows: https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/F?tab=financials Revenue was $155B in 2019, took dips in 2020, 2021, then recovered in 2022, to $158B. Ford has spent $7B on R&D each...

The Gas Guzzler tax has its origins in the 1970s, from the Feds and EPA. It is related to mileage standards. Cars not meeting certain mileage standards are taxed accordingly.

Larger dealers have Internet Sales and the floor folks. They often do not work together directly. the dealer I worked with, they were over a 1/4 mile away from one another and rarely interacted. One advantage of Internet Sales is you can set everything up via phone and e-mail, then go in and...

Welcome to the forums. :clap: My experience in 2022... The Gas Guzzler tax, $1000, is charged by the Feds. The Mach 1 was subject to this tax. I'd expect it on the DH. I can't speak to other models. Destination and delivery, $1395, was charged by Ford, in '22. You can clarify with the dealer...

https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/your-dealership-does-have-allocation-for-your-sold-order-not-shelby.154821/ A bit more detail, but things may have changed. I will defer to @Granger Ford for the latest insight.

I can appreciate your concerns, but it generally comes down to the points above. To the Alfa in-particular, it's: 1) available in May, 2) an SUV, 3) a hybrid/EV (or offers those options). Plus, like supermarkets and other shops, MotorTrend and other platforms receive something for their...

I can think of a few reasons for lack of ads on TV: 1. The car is not yet available. You can't walk in and see it. Ford has not announced pricing, changed its web site or produced an Order Guide. 2. Advertising has changed over time. Before YouTube and all other media platforms, you paid to...

A high-quality wrap is probably the best option for this MY. Gloss could be awesome. Matte anyone? I've seen some great matte wraps in different hues. If you can wait, Ford might rotate to that color, in later MYs. IMO, you'd have to be a high roller, with both $$$ and influence. Jackson of...
