Lets talk about new vehicles

[Zee09]

So you're getting rid of the Accord and buying a Ford?

No Ford.
I may buy nothing right now

No Ford.

Sounds like a plan.

I got that kind of MPG in my Civic for a 50 mile stretch today The last ten miles pulled it down to 55.5 because it was uphill and then I had a few stoplights heading into Niagara Falls. I get such good MPG from my Civic that other tenth gen Civic owners accuse me of lying because they don’t come even close to me. I’m the MPG whisperer

Buyers remorse....
I watched this college graduate lady say nobody told her you have to pay for electric charging on her new Tesla.

She may have heard about the earlier years of Tesla where buyers were actually given free supercharging for life on their Model S.

Companies expect you to pay back what you put on your credit cards too.

Crazy times we live in.

Yes I thought that but she thought all makes and models got free govt sponsored charging

I’m sure she was shocked

I’m sure she was shocked

She called the dealer to return it...
No dice....

I was at my local multi dealer
Many Durangos for sale.....
Does anyone care for the base model anymore? They have been off my radar for years but they seemed priced to sell...

Anyone here own a newer one???

Durangos have been off everybody’s radar for years.

You should have traded the Maverick Hybrid in on a Escape Hybrid.

The seats were like the Maverick but I may take another look

I'm 6'2" and the seats aren't too bad in our 2025 Escape ST Line.

Durangos have been off everybody’s radar for years.

Around here, most Durangos are running radar and have flashing lights on them.
Even then, that's not a whole lot.

Cool spaceship

I really like the look of Mazda CX70 & 90 but the crazy decisions for the transmission and the inline 6 engine are making me gag. Who would sign off on copying Audi with the timing chain at the back of engine and the HP fuel pump mostly at the back of engine?

I might have to consider a Pathfinder with the trusty 3.5 VQ engine with the 8 speed? or 9 ?

I agree, the powerplant is a servicing nightmare... complexity for no reason is usually a German forte

I literally was getting a tour of my son’s Explorer 10 minutes ago. Has a lot going for it, which is why you see so many of them. Great at nothing, but good at a lot of things.
