    Bellanca, an old M/T Moderator, ordered his Lincoln Continental Black Label. Its White Platinum, Chalet Theme with every single option.

    Ram folded easier than French Soldiers. I took away a positive vote...I downvoted.... Why? Other than WW2, French Soldiers over the course of modern history have been a very strong formidable force. I believe, the French Armies have been the armed forces that have seen the most battles in the modern era and I also think that the French Armies are the forces that have had the most successes and victories.... I may have to do research to back up my claims, something tells me Im right on both accounts though... So...I took offense by that comment.... Im sick and tired by fellow Canadians and some Americans continually making fun of the French Forces... If one took the time to read history, one would not laugh so hard at the French Armies... Takes balls to attempt this...and the French NEVER hesitated to protect itself... I see the Russian Armies and the Israeli Armies doing this, nobody else....no Canadian or American.... Its a modified Simpsons line from the " The Blunder Years ". Lenny, as a kid, was standing on the edge of the old quarry and was about to jump in. He looks down and says.... " I'm shaking like a French soldier ".

    No you're not wrong. " The steel firewall, by the way, is used because steel has optimal noise, vibration, and harshness–quelling characteristics. " http://blog.caranddriver.com/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-2015-ford-f-150/

    Going by these results, aluminium ( body ) fared better than steel ( body ).

    The lightest truck, F-150, is the safest truck and highest ratings! The heaviest truck, Ram 1500, is the least safe truck with by far the poorest rating. Granted the Ram is the most dated truck, but it goes to show how far more advanced the F-150 is. Hail the King, the F-150! Ram, bow your head in shame

    Ford has gained a big advantage in one of the most competitive segments in the auto industry. The company's F-150 SuperCab was the only one of nine pickup trucks tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to earn a "good" rating on an influential new crash test. The vehicle joins its SuperCrew sibling as the only large pickups to earn the organization's "Top Safety Pick" award when equipped with a collision warning system. "Ford is leading the way among large pickup manufacturers when it comes to protecting people in a range of crashes and offering technology to warn drivers of imminent frontal crashes," said Raul Arbelaez, vice president of the IIHS Vehicle Research Center. This is the first time the overall pickup class has been put through the new small-front overlap test, which evaluates how vehicles withstand crashes in which their front quarters strike a fixed object. Except for the F-150, all the pickups allowed moderate to severe intrusion of vehicle structure into the cabin, putting occupants at risk for injuries.

    In China, Lincoln has had a strong start to the year with 5,484 vehicles sold in the first quarter, a three-fold increase compared to the same time in 2015. Lincoln’s strong performance in the first quarter was supported by the growing number of dealerships, which reached 37 by the end of March, and Chinese customers’ positive reception of Lincoln SUVs. (5484 / 37) It looks like Lincoln dealerships sold an average of 148 units each for the quarter. About 50 per dealership each month. Lincoln has some nice momentum going with just 4 models.

    And look at that MKX. Since its debut, the MKX has gone from literally being an Edge trim level to best-in-class. There is no reason not to think the Continental won't deliver on what Lincoln says.
  10. FordCosworth
    Excellent explanation and analysis!
  11. FordCosworth
    Nobody called these people with interest in the Continental " real buyers ". But its more than " showing them a picture of a new car " . These people have " provided contact information to follow-up once more information is provided. "

    Some people don't understand rental sales are fleet sales. Some people don't understand that GM has increased Commercial fleet and Government fleet while trying to claim " GM is getting out of the fleet business ". Some people just don't understand.

    " You know a start-up in such an industry is expected to miss dates. But when mismanaged companies all over the industry push deadlines it's not as catchy a headline is it? " Cough cough Alfa, cough cough.

    This is great news!

    GM is increasing commercial fleet while lowering rental. GM commercial fleet is up. Commercial deliveries were up 9 percent and have increased year over year for 29 consecutive months. Sales to Government customers were up 23 percent.

    " Customers continue buying high-end SUVs and trucks, helping the Ford brand increase its average transaction prices by more than $1,600 per vehicle in March -- nearly double the industry average,” Mark LaNeve, Ford's vice president for U.S. marketing, sales and service, said in a statement. “We have been seeing solid sales momentum in the first quarter across our entire portfolio. Across the industry, TrueCar estimates incentive spending per vehicle rose 10 percent to $3,005 last month compared with March 2015. BMW AG had the highest average incentive last month at $4,816, TrueCar estimates, followed by Daimler AG ($3,981); GM ($3,943); FCA ($3,887); Nissan ($3,362); VW Group ($3,349); Ford ($3,271); Kia ($2,868); Hyundai ($2,163); Toyota ($2,027); Honda ($1,590) and Subaru ($569).

    Calling this car an ugly failure while praising the Bolt????? I like the looks. The grill-less nose is different, thats for sure. Not sure how this car can be called an ugly failure while at the same time calling the Bolt superior. Each to their own... http://jalopnik.com/tesla-model-3-this-is-it-1768284734

    " Looking at buying a Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra? You may be in for a turbulent ride. GM engineers can’t seem to pinpoint the cause of a mysterious recurring issue in vehicles riding on GM’s K2XX platform, which includes its full-size trucks and SUVs, a problem that was referred to by one dealer as “The Chevy Shake.” Because GM can’t isolate the cause of the problem, a permanent fix has also been elusive. In December, AutoGuide.com ran a report detailing buffeting and vibration issues found in some GM full-size SUVs after being contacted by an owner who was experiencing these problems. While investigating the SUV issue, another flaw with different GM vehicles surfaced repeatedly in online forums and in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s complaints sections: vibrations from the 2014 and 2015 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra. " My theory... This kind of thing occurs when you look at the competition: the Ford F series and the upcoming all new Expedition and Navigator.... you begin to tremble!
