Watch the Ford Mustang Mach-E Unveiling Live, 9 PM Eastern: Comments
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in LA Auto Show
No worries there. https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2019/10/17/ford-introduces-north-americas-largest-electric-vehicle-charting-network.html https://electrek.co/2019/11/18/ford-mustang-mach-e-home-charging-on-par-with-tesla/ "The Ford Mobile Charger with its 14-50 plug, on a dedicated 40/50amp circuit (so, an electric-oven outlet), will pull 32 amps, giving the Ford Mach-E Mustang RWD 22 miles of range per hour. That’s 264 miles of range over a 12 hour period, surely enough for 99%+ of drivers. BUT, if you really need more, Ford is also offering a hardwired, 48 amp wall box, which will get you 32 miles of range per hour."- 179 replies

For as pretty as the coupe is, the convertible doesn't so anything for me. This doesn't surprise me though as i'm not a huge fan of how convertibles look.- 11 replies

2021 Toyota RAV-4 Prime has 302 Horsepower: Comments
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in LA Auto Show
Perfect daily for many many people, other than price. I don't know what this will be priced but I have to believe it's around the 40k mark... I'd drive one of these.- 8 replies

I just wasn't sure because this Mach E isn't about to be on sale anytime soon so the underpinnings could have engineering yet to be completed.- 179 replies

Oh yeah, I should have known it wouldn't be in something this size compared to what they made the skateboard for.- 179 replies

@dfelt do you think this could be a Rivian skateboard or Ford's?- 179 replies

ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in LA Auto Show
On automotive pages, it's the cool thing to do to hate on Mustangs, EVs, and SUVs so this is just fuel to the stereotypical member of an auto page. The same people that are complaining about the naming are the same ones who wouldn't consider it even if they made a whole new name for the vehicle. Three of the most internet auto enthusiast triggering words were all put into one product, Mustang + EV + SUV. People can't help but hate on it. There has to be something else on this new platform.- 179 replies

Well, you're up in arms and you're not a Mustang customer... so... Just like we've all discussed GM should do with the Corvette and I still think they could/should. It's a little ugly but 500hp+ would fix that!- 179 replies

If people can swallow the price, there's no glaring downside to it. Heck, even in the Edge-sized price range this isn't really "out there" in pricing. They mortgaged the pony during hard times. All things are on the table for a business. Remember when everybody was like, "Corvette should split off and create its own brand and have a Corvette SUV"? Because I do.- 179 replies

Watch the Ford Mustang Mach-E Unveiling Live, 9 PM Eastern: Comments
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in LA Auto Show
I think it is an all around interesting move that their first real EV(excluding the joke of a Focus Electric) is near coupe-like and performance oriented as opposed to something basic as sht like an electric Escape or Fusion sized/shaped vehicles. I have a feeling the massive tablet is going to become more and more common as it reduces costs and people like big screens, in general. Enthusiasts notice it doesn't flow well but AverageAshley just sees something that looks highly technologically advanced because big screen and sees fancy.- 179 replies

While I'm not a huge fan of throwing Mustang on the actual vehicle name I think people are missing the point in why they're doing it. Balthy can probably understand as EV sales really aren't much of anything. They're using the name to grab attention and attention they got. Chevy came out with the Bolt and hardly made a splash and it's a very adequate EV with no real downsides outside of price.. and 'looks' but those are subjective.- 179 replies

Personally, I would not say that trails out of the headlight cluster until the 2013/2014s.

They started that in 2013 in the ATS and 2014 in the CTS.

Toyota News: Toyota Introduces Camry and Avalon with All-Wheel Drive
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Toyota
And the two "big hitters" are: Corolla: down 0.3% Civic: up 0.6% They really aren't missing out on anything, yet, at least. Equinox: up 2.29% Trax: up 82.04% Ecosport: up 10.7% Escape: down 7.2% -
Those don't even sell at reputable brands.

Toyota News: Toyota Introduces Camry and Avalon with All-Wheel Drive
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Toyota
I couldn't agree more. It isn't like it's a small blip on the radar at this point. The SUV/CUV/truck market has been growing and growing for decades. Once SUVs/CUVs bridged most of the fuel economy gap, it created the huge swing that we're in right now. People can easily pull 30mpg in their compact CUVs. -
Toyota News: Toyota Introduces Camry and Avalon with All-Wheel Drive
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Toyota
I just found out that it's had AWD basically the whole time. -
I really don't. And absolutely, the CT cars definitely look better, I just don't see a resemblance. Also, the LED curling up the fender was already designed by Kia before the CT5 was released.. It wasn't something they threw together in the last 2-3 months.
-
The CT5's trunk is anything but huge, it's 11.9 cubic feet. For reference, a Corolla's trunk is 13.0 cubic feet. More appropriately; C Class trunk volume: 12.6 cubic feet E Class trunk volume: 13.1 cubic feet 3 Series trunk volume: 17.0 cubic feet 5 Series trunk volume: 14.5-18.7 cubic feet Audi A4 trunk volume: 13.0 cubic feet Audi A6 trunk volume: 13.7 cubic feet
-
I genuinely do not see any of what you're seeing. All of those things you pointed out see like such a stretch to say they took those design cues.
-
I really don't think this is much smaller than any compact CUV. I'm surprised how large they are when I see them in the wild, not that they're actually "large" but that they aren't near as small as I think of anything with the Fiat 500 name.

GM News: Lordstown Sold to Lordstown Motors Corp

39 years is the amount of time a business can amortize/depreciate the expense. That's both property and building(done individually, obviously). Depending on the equipment itself, they're depreciated over 5-7 years.- 21 replies
