    Mercedes-Benz Vans are the fastest growing brand.  Could be a sign that crossovers are done and commercial vans will take over the landscape.  People like boxy vehicles that haul things to suit their "active lifestyle"

    Mercedes vans was the fastest SINKING brand- they conceeded HUGE majority percentages of the segment to the competition from nissan, Ford, Chevrolet, RAM, etc. The rest of the market simply passed them right by and they are lingering in the cellar.

     M-B vans are up 16% year to date over last year, and up 71% in Oct 18 compared to Oct 17.

    MARKET SHARE. They owned the Euro van market in the USDM outright but have conceded the majority to their competition since they've come online.

    This is definitely one of my favorites.

    Just like Jeep can't... 

    I would upvote this by at least a thousand if I could.  If Ford can keep up the corporate attitude I see in these videos and focus on what they do well they will win me back.

    In any relationship the key is to define what will make you happy if you are unhappy. In the case of Ford...build what you are passionate about. 

    Jeep analogy is very well placed. I could see myself loving a Ford motor company that was passionate about Trucks...Mustangs...and SUVs...maybe Edge and one other.

    If they can stop trying to be all things to all people...they will win me back.

    Love...love...and love the new videos by Ford!

    I like this commercial especially, but Ford cannot afford to be a BOF Truck/SUV firm only.  Mustang aside, Ford needs more and better products in the unibody side of things.

    I disagree. Trying to be everything to everybody is what has held them back IMHO. I really like the idea of a strong lean and Focused (pun not intended) Ford motor company.

    • I just talked to a Filipino named Fabio in financial services customer service.  These can't be their real names. Remember "the" Fabio?  Obnoxious.
    • This is so SPOT on and we should cut off the Billions given to the Oil Industry. The $7,500 EV tax credit is gone, but each gas car still gets $20k+ in subsidies
    • This is so scary as this person is spot on, many of us are now considered Terrorists by this administration. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPRaDC0jiCR/?igsh=MXBtbTNhdHFqY3BueA==
    • I do not think that this current administration will respect such a thing to happen.  To let a blue wave in the house exist.  I hope I am wrong.  I sadly agree to this... That is why I compassionately keep on posting political shyte.  Not just for our little community in here that posts stuff, but for the silent lurkers that read.  Another venue to read that is not misinformation.  Another venue to get the courage to fight for your country.  
    • The F35 is falsely called a 5th gen fighter.  It is suppose to be a 5th gen fighter. And it will be soon enough.  But there are many 5th gen features missing from it.  Not the stealth stuff but some radar technology on it  that was mentioned in the video is missing.  Even for the US Air Force.  Lots of engineering delays and mishaps...    Making the F35 slightly better than 4.5 but not quite 5th gen.  The Rafale is a 4.5 gen fighter from France.  Is capabilities mirror those of an F-16.  The Viper version.  But better.  The Rafale is a newer fighter and has quite the radar capabilities but not stealth tech.  Making it a 4.5 gen.   The USAF has phased out the F16 for its fleet, but there are many nations that continue buying it and flying it.  But those same nations also have bought the Rafale and use the F16 Viper and Rafale tandemly.  Truth be told, the F16 Viper version in certain combat situations is better than the F35.  Its in the communications and fighting alongside in tandem with other military weapons where the F35 shines and the other 4.5 gen fighters lack.  The Eurofighter is a 4.5 gen fighter.  Very capable.  In some cases batter than the Rafale and F16 Viper and in some cases on par.   The SAAB J39 is a 4rth gen fighter.  But the way the video explains how the F35 will be using drones to do combat, this is a fairly new way of doing air warfare and the Ukraine war accelerated the tactics.  But the Swedes that engineered the SAAB J39 have had that type of warfare in mind and the J39 is equipped radar and communications wise to do battle this very way already.  Yeah...like the F35 is supposed to do. To do battle in tandem with other military weapons on the ground, in the air or at sea.  In tandem.   So the J39 has that capability...   Seeing that all nations in Europe have been threatened by Trump in one way or other, all 3 fighters could be used jointly to do a better job than what an F35 could be used for.   And when the other nations, including Canada, will refuse to buy the F35, lots of billions of dollars lost. Not counting the billions of dollars of developmental monies already poured into the f35 program.  But those monies have been deduced from the books already I suppose.  I could get slapped with another face palm emogi or a negative one, the shytes about to get real for you guys... Wake the phoque up!!!
