    Exactly my point.. That's roughly a month of driving taken away.

    Yes, please explain a better way to get information on a vehicle that you did not own from the beginning? It lets you know if the vehicle was in an accident or insurance claims against it along with maintenance. Personally, the maintenance side isn't an issue as I prefer doing my own work which wouldn't be on them anyway nor am I buying a car with 100k miles so under 40k miles There isn't a whole lot of required maintenance other than oil changes.

    It kind of is though. I mean people buy EVs to save money not because they are just awesome vehicles to drive. Until the Bolt they were small, compact, not much space and cost a good premium over a similarly sized gasoline car so to tax them more per year is only making it harder to justify the purchase. I know it is a really small amount(I think they said like $30 a year) but it's something and I don't know how far $30 in electricity will get you but it's probably a good distance.

    It isn't easier than just not making a product. It isn't like any of these companies NEED to make small Diesel engines. Or it isn't like they don't charge a premium for them. Just make the product compliant or don't make it. It's pretty much the most simple concept out there.

    I agree but that doesn't mean companies should put out products knowingly failing emissions testing(without a form of cheat). That's just stupid.

    This popcorn?

    So don't make a diesel vehicle if you can't follow the laws put in place. Nobody is forcing VW or FCA to produce a diesel Ram 1500 or Golf with a TDI engine.

    Somebody trying to drive a vehicle for free for a couple of years, get a settlement check, or a new car on the cheaps.

    Great call! They had the "auto check" that is essentially the same..I think.. for free. This is what I currently have my eyes on..CAR

    Oh I've always gotten one with a purchase but I was hoping to not have to drive like and hour and a half to get to the dealer. It's an hour and 41 minutes from my house via googlemaps. 109 miles. I could always just tell them I kind of need to see it before driving that far or considering the car too.

    Does anybody subscribe to Carfax?

    Yes, back in the 80's, 90's and early 00's there was shet management from them all and that's why everybody needed money to have their asses saved in 2007-2009. This is a different era. This is an era in which companies needed to trim fat and streamline manufacturing. Become efficient or go under. Adapt to the market or go under. Adapt to regulations or go under. Make products that people want or go under. They learned so much with the Dart that they..nope.. did the same with the 200 also.. Maybe they didn't learn yet. Maybe they learned enough from those that they could release the Renegade/500L without issues...nope.. not there either.. Maybe they learned enough at this point that they can make a good product AND get it out on a reasonable schedule. Reasonable, as in, not years of delay.

    Luckily the delays you showed us aren't a sign of a shet company/management of said company but rather production or supplier issues of a completed product. 30 days is acceptable... 1-2 years.. eehhh
  14. ccap41
    No offense to Stew but I don't think he read the articles but rather found the first Ford articles mentioning delay and went with them. The RS and Raptor were also an issue like the SD in which the PRODUCT was completed not delayed. Yes, technically it was delayed but there is a huge difference in how/why those Fords were delayed and the FCA products were.
  15. ccap41
    Special editions? I mean I guess they are delays but it is after the F150 and Focus have been out. In FCA's case they would be delaying the Focus and the F150 from the beginning. That Super duty article was delaying the launch of it but the product was completed and driven in a review. Not pushing back the whole Super Duty project a year or more.
  16. ccap41
    They just so happen to FCA more than anybody else... What was the last GM or Ford vehicle delayed?
  17. ccap41
    I have to agree.. too much here-say to believe anything to the 'T' at this point. Because there is a Ranger/Bronco vehicle already out there that they are utilizing for the 2019/2020 vehicles. So the test mules are likely either; not needing additional testing as they already have a Ranger or completely undisguised in other countries with different things under sheet metal(aluminum?). It isn't that they are putting them out together it is the fact that they had to delay yet another product that is worrisome. I have no issue at all with them coming out together or the timeframe in which the current gen has been out for. It's that it was scheduled for a certain length and got pushed back like a few other products have been as well.

    Those aren't Italian.. well the Renegade is. But get on some other public forums/groups where somebody owns one.. I'm a part of a facebook group where two people have Fiat 500L's and they're big-ole-pieces-of-shet. They always have issues. One got rid of his for a Beetle, actually.

    I have not seen a good report of reliability coming from Italy.
  20. ccap41
    Hellllllllo Reliability!!

    Me too... This was one reason I wanted to pay off my Escape and just keep it so I could have a gnarly daily like an SS one day.
  22. ccap41
    IMO, only if they're purposeful because they aren't that cool to me. They aren't "uncool" but they don't do anything extra for me. Just tell us what's wrong, bud. It helps to get things out and vent. Of all places, this is probably one of the easiest because... I don't know any of you! Just start with the issue next time though... lol
  23. ccap41
    And it pains me when people make blanket "feel bad for me and ask why" posts. Just say what's wrong. You're asking for somebody to say "what happened?".. Just say it. It's like Facebook posts saying, "That feeling when you want to punch holes in the drywall" That was a post of a good friend of mine the other day. I hate that crap. Say what you're pissed about. I did not respond to his post, fyi.
  24. ccap41
    Oh the Edge looks waaaay better than the Escape, IMO. Escape has always been "ehh" to me. Pre 2013, 2013-2015, then 2016+. None of them really looked great to my eyes. That was actually my biggest fear when I bought mine.. I would get sick of its looks too quickly.

    AWESOME! You're the man! Thank you!
