Interesting..odd to hear of automatic without normal off also. I think my sister's STS and Trax have automatic w/ regular off also. My old Jeep had automatic and off settings also, I quit using the automatic setting after they started coming on randomly when parked. I've been using the automatic setting on my newer Jeep, and have the DRLs enabled as well. Get enough cloudy weather I like having them on. -
Automatic lights are a setting, though. My Jeep has automatic lights, but if I have the light switch in the off position then they work like old school lights and you have to turn them on and off. (automatic is a separate position from off).

It was pretty soft..was a 2006 IIRC.

I rented many Town Cars over the years...when on vacation in So Cal or back in Ohio visiting my Mom. Rented many Grand Marquis, Dodge Intrepids, Chrysler 300s (Ms and Cs), etc...always liked getting the big cars. I once rented a Town Car in LA and had a fun drive up twisty Angeles Crest Highway...

At least he didn't rent a Versa or Sentra.. I still remember my first car rental...'95 Olds Ciera, in Washington DC...was down there in April 95 for a brief vacation from grad school.

Was in the drive thru at Dunkin Donuts this morning, behind a Ford Ecosport. Studying the rear, I realized the portion of the right taillight on the rear door has a door handle built into it... the rear door is side hinged like the old Rav4 on these, i think. But behind me was a more interesting car--a maroon w/ white top early 80s Olds 98 4dr...appeared solid.

That's pretty f'd up..

No reason to leave. The US is one of their biggest markets and they have many employees here.

I'll be 50 in about 20 months. Got to work on getting fit. I'm really physically feeling my age.

The Yaris sedan is a Mazda 2 variant, and the hatch is a Toyota-origin model. I think.

H-D realizes they have to evolve if they are going to survive long term. Their current nostalgia focused product is appealing to a smaller and smaller base of customers and not bringing in younger buyers.

October 2018: Ford Motor Company
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Sales Figure Ticker
Nah, G-wagens are for going to Dairy Queen in Scottsdale. (True story--I was in the Dairy Queen drive thru in Scottsdale a few years ago---G-wagen AMG in front of me, one behind me with an SL AMG behind it...) -

When I was at Porsche Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca in 2011 and 2014 I recall many of the racecar haulers being Suburbans and Escalades. Same thing at the San Diego Coronado Festival of Speed (those were really fun events)... -

Happy Birthday!

The hatch would be the engine cover on a mid engined car (though there may be another cover under it). Frunk, hatch, retractable top...very interesting implications from this, if it's not someone's Photoshop fun...
-
<speculation> The particular functions seem to imply a retractable top mid engined convertible. It could be Cadillac's Ferrari 488 competitor based on the C8. Seems like it would be a nice home for the V8 TT from the CT6 V-sport. Who knows... </speculation>

And it's 2500 sq ft on the first floor, and 2300+ sq ft in the finished basement. Would be fun to set up a home theatre and hobby room down there.. I'd go for more MCM looking front doors in orange or red, with little rectangular windows set in...(which is what I'm thinking of for a new front door for my current house...my current front door is very generic).

Well, they already have several Euro sedans in their line...the Fiesta, Focus, the Fusion/Mondeo, and the current Taurus is on a old Volvo-derived platform.

Yeah, not a fan of the kitchen, but I love the location on a bluff overlooking the river and woods...and all the glass..enough room to build another garage also.

My kitchen looks like it was remodeled maybe 15 years ago. it's cherry wood w/ beige corian beigish countertops, stainless steel appliances. It's ok, don't plan on remodeling anytime soon, other than replacing the light fixtures and adding a disposal. In keeping w/ the randomness, whilst browsing Trulia I found this home nearby that I absolutely love...great location, views, layout. https://www.trulia.com/p/oh/moreland-hills/120-skyline-dr-moreland-hills-oh-44022--2045327133

Replacing one largish fwd sedan with another largish fwd sedan, seems straightforward enough. And there have been Fords rebadged as VWs and VWs rebadged as Fords in S America, so not a new concept...

Maybe Ford could get a badge-engineered Taurus from the new Arteon.
