$25k actually might be doable, depending on the dealer and how eager they are to sell. If you're looking for a late model 2018, I would say you'd have no problem (a dealer might even offer you more than $25k to get the 2018 off of the lot before the 2019s arrive). If you're trying to negotiate...

You'll get hosed on your 2016 trade - it only has 9200 miles, but depreciation is a #$%&. With that said - is there a specific reason that you're looking to the 2019 and not some aging stock 2018? The 2018s will be much cheaper once the 2019s start hitting the lot, and there are very few...

As mentioned above, the 6MT gets rev match, which is a pretty significant addition to the transmission. Still waiting for a nice review thoroughly testing this feature (Please help me here, Matt! :D ). If it works like my mind thinks it should, then it'll be a hard decision between the 6MT and...

The colors on the site seem extra awful this year. I was looking for oxford white but could only find two levels of silver :p

I wouldn't call those deals, but yeah, it's pretty big that they're even offering a Ford backed lease on the GT. If I can negotiate a starting lease price to $5-8K under MSRP, I might seriously consider going that route.

With a few Bullitts rolling around across the country, has anyone come across video taken from the interior showing the new 6MT downshifting in action? I'm curious about the rev matching, if it's simply a "blip" (fake rev matching), or a true RPM hold as long as the clutch pedal is depressed.

A lot of dealers will offer the first oil change free - I usually take a new car in early for that change (2-3K miles) to get rid of any metal from machining imperfections. After that first oil change, I do my own, and pull the oil with a fluid extractor. Both of my vehicles currently have...

Is this the same fiance that told you to get rid of the DIB Mustang that started all of this? I don't want to give relationship advice, but...

If I was in Texas like you, I wouldn't mind 20s. Being in the northeast, 20s would make me cringe every time I approached damaged pavement (every 100 yards or so). In my case, I'd be looking at no bigger than 19s, and would likely settle for 18s to save the wheels.

It's likely that's just the sound of the injectors. Direct inject engines are known for "ticking" :)

In this case, size = volume, not mass :)

So for the 2018, does no lift simple disengage the throttle when the clutch is fully pressed, and then modulate power as the driver releases the pedal?

But Norm, you're missing a key fact - the majority of drivers don't want sedans. They want AWD vehicles even when they drive in conditions that don't require 4 powered wheels. They want to sit higher off of the ground even when they drive on terrain that doesn't warrant that (and in many...

The Focus did have a bad spell with the DCT, but that's long gone. The new auto transmission is a lot better. You can also spec a new Focus with a 1.0L EB and 6MT - I'm sure it's under powered, but likely more fun than the DCT. With that said, the past issues that Ford had with the DCT is...

Infiniti's powertrain options are really odd. Their 3.0T makes almost 100 fewer HP than the 3.0T that Lincoln is putting in the MKZ, but with the same fuel efficiency. I can't figure it out.

My point was simply that there was a time when vehicle size was directly related to the MPG that said vehicle achieved. That is no longer true. Many, if not most mid size cross overs (Rav4/CRV/Escape/Forester/Rogue/etc) can achieve 30MPG with 2.5L engine displacements and AWD. Toss in a turbo...

Are you going to drive the car in the winter? If so, you'll want the fastback in NJ (which should be totally doable with winter tires).

The won't have to hybridize every trim - my point is that it'll be offered for those that seek 40+ MPG, and won't be necessary for those that don't. Ford is already creating 30+ MPG CUVs with a 2.0T powertrain. Similar engines in the active lineup (1.5-2.0T) will produce high 30s. Vehicle...

Ford's ultimate plan is to hybridize everything, so gas prices are completely irrelevant. All of these SUVs/CUVs are going to get high 20s to low 40s in MPG.

Anyone want to go out in their 2018 and test to see if this is there at the risk of overloading their powertrain? :D
