![]() I totally agree. He is committed to profits and profitability. This short sighted moron will be the death of Ford. But he will not give a ****. After he runs it to the ground, he will get replaced with his golden parachute and move on to ruin another company. He will make short term profits, but car markets are NOT stagnant.
One final note: Calling an EV crossover a mach 1 is pure freaking blasphemy. I hope this guy gets a kidney stone the size of a ford pinto. |

![]() Since customers aren't buying enough EVs we'll just make one that is a Crossover and they'll have to buy it.
I've just given up at this point. *starts handing out black pills* |

![]() nothing stupid about increased ride height and more room if the penalties like poor fuel economy can be minimized if not eliminated. I get sedan sales are slow, but they will make a come back like all things, the automotive trends are cyclical. Guess they are counting on the CUV thing running strong for at least 15 more years.... Still think they are messing up.

![]() crushed Focus and will even look worse when produced. Will Ford be around in future if gas pops up and F150 sales stop.

I thought about including average vehicle price, average income, fuel economy, adjusted for inflation prices, and dumping the data into a spreadsheet and making some pretty graphs, but I'm not getting paid for this. F-series sales per year (in thousands) vs. average US gas price, note: this is f150-f350, not the commercial stuff. thirteenth gen (2015-current) 2018 - 909.330 gas: $2.79 2017 - 896.764 gas: $2.47 2016 - 820.799 gas: $2.20 2015 - 780.354 gas: $2.45 twelfth gen (2009-2014) 2014 - 753.851 gas: $3.37 2013 - 763.402 gas: $3.55 2012 - 645.316 gas: $3.64 2011 - 584.917 gas: $3.53 2010 - 528.349 gas: $2.79 2009 - 413.625 gas: $2.35 eleventh gen (2004-2008) 2008 - 515.513 gas: $3.27 2007 - 690.589 gas: $2.80 2006 - 796.039 gas: $2.59 2005 - 901.463 gas: $2.30 2004 - 939.511 gas: $1.88 tenth gen (1998-2003) 2003 - 845.586 gas: $1.59 2002 - 813.701 gas: $1.36 2001 - 911.597 gas: $1.46 2000 - 876.716 gas: $1.51 1999 - 869.001 gas: $1.17 1998 - 836.629 gas: $1.06 ninth gen (1992-1997) 1997 - 746.111 gas: $1.23 1996 - 780.838 gas: $1.23 1995 - 691.452 gas: $1.15 1994 - 646.039 gas: $1.11 1993 - 544.396 gas: $1.11 1992 - 472.475 gas: $1.13 eighth gen (1987-1991) 1991 - 432.644 gas: $1.14 1990 - 495.977 gas: $1.15 1989 - 540.739 gas: $1.00 1988 - 564.471 gas: $0.90 1987 - 550.125 gas: $0.90 seventh gen (1980-1986) 1986 - 544.969 gas: $0.86 1985 - 562.507 gas: $1.12 As to the mach 1 concept here, I'm not a fan of the name, but I'd like to judge it on it's merits as an EV, not what the marketing team came up with in an attempt to induce nostalgia/boomer appeal. When an actual vehicle lands we will see how it is. |

![]() Honestly, that's not terrible looking. I'm wondering if this will be a ford body on top of the VW MEB EV chassis (given the development of the VW ID Crozz, another small crossover, and the ford/vw team).
If this thing came in a "performance" variant (IE sub 4 second 0-60 with good handling), this could very well be my next car. But I'm not a fan of the mustang and mach labeling on anything CUV. Maybe bring it under the Taurus name? Since they decided sedans are a losing battle. CUV's are the new sedans. |

![]() Yeah, that's not bad at all. I wonder if ford is moving to a new logo away from the blue oval with that too.... I don't think they can call it a mustang EV.
