Firstly, I like some of the changes to the S650 and a few not so much. The dash is one I am not a fan of. I am ok with digital displays and screens, but really hate the way a lot of new cars have them implemented . Case in point, any vehicle that has a tablet type screen not integrated into the...
I think it is great that Ford will keep the Mustang having an ICE option, hopefully one of the options will be a V8....for the next 10 years at least. I might be ok with a turbo V6, but I draw the line there. Anything below a V6 forced induction is a no go for me and would rather just keep...
Most likely a hybrid Mustang will cost more to maintain. A pure electric will be much cheaper. I am not a fan of EV's mainly because of the ugly interiors (most models) and a lack of real engine exhaust sound (for sporty models). A hybrid V8 Mustang would be ok, but the cost to performance gain...
Not sure it is American arrogance due to someone else doing something first. It is a fool's errand to think that going to EV's will save the planet. Why waste your time on the little fish that will get caught on its own and dismiss the whales that are going to net you much bigger gains. I am all...
In the US, residential cars (including SUV's and pickups) account for about 14%. So even if you remove that 14% with all EV's you still will have a problem...yes? The reason cars are the big thing is that there is money to be made. In almost every other major area that produces CO2, there is...
Don't think anyone is saying it is not "happening there" as it is happening to some degree everywhere. To say it is the right thing to do is something else entirely. Also, if it was so great the the people of Norway were all for it, why is it only 54% of new car sales? Why isn't 90% or higher...
What exactly is the benefit to the population to mandate EV's? The examples you cite actually kill people. Some on contact. How exactly is an EV saving you?
Agreed. This is not the same everywhere in the world. At least in the US at this moment, a person has the choice. We are a country of laws, so this can change with new laws, but if most people do not want to adhere to said laws they can be discarded or amended. Also to put a law in place that...
I think it may be possible for a few EU countries. The ones that are a bit more lax on the democratic process and allowing people to choose what they want vs what they are told to do. I agree, all of the EU will struggle with it. I think 2040 is more realistic. Of course this does not cover...
I agree with you. Look at how many Accords and Camry's are out there. They are all about just getting there safe and sound. Those folks generally care about cheap and plain. EV's though are not cheap, but they are plain. Once the cost for a Accord type car is in the 20 something thousand, you...
You do know that Norway has a tiny population and it is cold there most of the time right? The state of New Jersey where I live has nearly double the population in a much smaller area. I cannot imagine the power grid holding up with more than 15% of cars using electricity every day especially in...
I have been watching this thread for a while and I have found many things stated rather funny. Just want to provide my opinions on EV's vs ICE before I respond to some posts. In my heart I know that an ICE vehicle is destined for used cars only. It will come sooner than it really needs to, but...
His reply is not baseless as it most likely will be auto only. Look Ford already created a new dimension with the Mach E being a Mustang. Making the Hybrid version Auto only is not a big stretch. I for one would be interested if it does indeed have a manual option. So hopefully you are veracious...
You may want to be careful. If you wait too long you may need to get a 2020 and you probably won't see it until Oct. Just basing the time on how it takes to get one now.
Most are delivered in 3 months on avg. Dealers like to tell you it will take about 8 weeks, but some will tell you 12-14. Just depends on how good your dealer is. No Mustang will be built special order and delivered in 8 weeks since the build scheduling itself is almost 8 weeks out. GT350's are...
