Based on your words my impression is that you had a problem with anything other than Tremec and tequila made in Mexico. I find it humorous that Mexico can build a great transmission but their cars are junk.
I hear you BigD. I am actually interested in the Mach-E as a replacement for my wifes Escape in early 2021. As someone who worked for a global electronics company with factories all over the world i do not care where it is built. Funny that we all bitch about the quality out of Flat Rock. Built by American's in America. As far as the name, yeah certainly would have preferred something else but we'll see, maybe Ford will reconsider. Either way if this is what my wife wants it doesn't really matter.
One could say that you have binders on. Why do you think it will not be a pretty decent vehicle? I've owned ford's for decades as have many people on this forum. Wouldn't it make sense that we believe the company we have been giving our hard earned dollars too is going to make a pretty decent vehicle. Just remember the engineers and designers that build this vehicle didn't name it. We need t separate the two and thrust or anger on the Exec's that made this decision.
0-60 is not that important to me but it is to the automotive world. Its the first spec anyone asks about. As far as other vehicle dynamics again I say look at the engineers. I do not expect GT350 handling but if its as good or better than my wife's Escape I'll be happy.
I understand the sentiment but we already pay our taxes. I do not mind getting something back now and then.
Thanks. Now I can't unsee that...Built in Mexico eh? I guess that explains the giant mustache at the front.
