why do people persist in asserting LTH are beneficial? Short of an excuse to remove cats, they provide next to nothing in HP anywhere in the rev range.

but since the ME is failing to sell, does that mean we'll be rid of it soon?

speaking of' 'D-Fence GPS' Ourisman Lexus of Rockville installs IKon GPS tracker on every car new and used and says they can't take if off. It's just a small plug in your OBD port to which they may have run a battery line, and fished an antenna wire into the dash. They brand it on the buyers...

well that explains the prominence of the eyesore. Just put a HC Charger WB next to the GT500 in a poster and call it "dead coups rolling".

you can (always?) go back to finance and have them strike this or that add-on. Esp inside of 30 days. For example I bought the Ford ESP at the dealer, then got educated and bought it from outfit in CT for 1/3rd the price. Marched into the dealership and had them strike the almost $3000 charge...

You'd think with the power of the Internet this nonsense would have been stopped cold in the 90's... Saw another dealer put $2000 "pre-sales prep" on every new car. It was 1 tank of gas, some window tint, and that most elusive of gasses, N2 filled tires. And that's before the $1200 doc fee.

at the risk of necro-thread... The default wheel/tire choice Dodge uses is as bad or worse than Ford and the Mustang. 10.5et22 fit just fine in the recent (2018+) NarrowBody cars so I run 305 tires in mine. I'll give you the Charger looks "better" but it only comes with an auto so is...

Even the stock system drones at that range. It's Ford Engineering's way of smacking you across the face for driving in such a manner. 2000 RPM or more, everywhere, always. Tape your Tach so you can't see the needle below 2000 and you'll unlearn this horrendous habit. If you want to drive...

really? You're $20 Amazon purchase away from a silly cable and pad shoved under the rubber mat in the console. In S550 land the 300A was perfectly fine. In S650, you get a mechanical seat with 300A which is just nuts. So 301A to get motorized. I put no value in the Premium trims. The MyColor is...

"Is 'Dark Horse' just another meaningless Marketing term"? Heh, guy likes to play with hand-mixed Nitro it would seem. I agree the acting is over the top and annoying. But information content and presentation is admirable. So I guess we shouldn't be surprised or annoyed it costs the same as...

to review the S650 from a S550 owner's point of view. That should have been self-evident. And no, I don't own a klingon sward. Geez what kind of loser do you think I am? Since you're in VA we could meet up.

And yet the recidivism rate is almost 25%. That's frightful and means plenty of people found them unworkable or the tradeoffs insufficient. Just because we haven't yet run out of fools doesn't mean it's a good thing. :) What's the saying? Never underestimate the infinite supply of human...

as the legal "mandate" evaporates, so will the timeline. This is all just pie-in-sky virtue signalling. Not to say decisions toward this goal haven't been made, but if the business is going to fail in the face of "mandates" or other nonsense, they will gladly spend the money to sue the gov't...

Ford loses something like 30,000 on every Mach-E it sells. Not 'paper loss' REAL loss. They can't sell any if they actually charged labor+materials+overhead. clearly you haven't been paying attention. The car can't remotely self-drive - it gets confused routinely and even deliberately tries to...

originally Ford OE wheels in 9" wide (?) that were then powdercoated? Nice job on the color. What is the color code?

FINALLY! He should be sued for false advertising and forced to refund every penny and then civil penalties/fines on top. And frankly every death that arose from "self driving" should also garner a payout - not a huge one, say 50,000 to a charity because most the fault is the moron at the wheel...

Norway has a miniscule population highly concentrated in small locales, and immense gov't wealth from state oil company and can jury-rig EV support without ANY concern for economic fallout. and should NEVER be used as an example of real-world adoption. Saudi Arabia and other countries can...

except just because a short segment of the graph as a slope of X doesn't mean that the future slope will be >=X. X can go negative. Which is what Ford is being slapped in the face with. What's the sales rate of cell phones? It was rising rapidly too, untill it just flat-lined and hit...

rent one for 3+ days and make sure. I was "enamoured" to a degree as well till I drove one. Nyet!
