So, what do you figure the range of the Lithium would be at full throttle?
Very disappointing... the new Mustang Mach-E is an SUV!

 

Yeah, my youngest, who is on his second GT (2015 & 2019) is highly p*ssed. Ford calling that thing by that iconic name may be enough to keep him from the GT500 he has his eyes on.

 

Again we see manufacturers mistaking corrolation with causality. Maybe the low take rate is because of perceived problems with Jag's MT reliability. Or the fact that it is not available in the V8 because its too weak. Even if the rumors are not true, they could be the reason an MT doesn't sell.

Yes, smokers don't get altzimers but cigarettes are not the cure for old age. Corrolation is not casualty. Car manufacturers don't seem to even realize there is a difference. They are making all sorts of stupid marketing decisions based on misinformation of a lack of information.

We see the same thing with sportscar sales dropping and SUV sales rising as a percentage cars sold. Any shinking pie shows the larger slices holding up better than the smallers ones as a percent of total.

 

Strangely, my local dealer doesn't even have new F-types on the lot. There is one in the showroom and that is it for inventory.

 

At least JLR called it F-pace when they did it to F-type.

 

Mustang brand, RIP.

 

When last I was at the dealership I was told by a salesman that they only stocked the 2.0 model. I told him I may be interested in a 5.0 and asked him to give me a heads up should one come in, either new or used. I haven't heard from him, and sure enough, I just checked and there are four in stock, all 2.0s.

 

Could this be a disaster on the order of the Edsel or one on the order of New Coke?

 

I was hoping they were introducing the Mach-E as the production version of the Lithium. I was thinking of adding a sixth vehicle to my stable.

 

The new C8 Z06 is almost as bad...

 

Yep, my take as well.
