I think Ford is gonna sell a lot of Lightnings and a lot of Mavericks. If they turn out to be turdmobiles then the burst of sales will be short lived, but if they are good they'll be winners. IMO there is a lot of demand for electric/hybrid trucks and smaller trucks.

Agreed. The MSRP for the Maverick seems insanely cheap, for a smaller-bed 5-passenger pickup that can get 40 mpg.

i like the lightning because they made a normal vehicle that happens to be electric. Doesn't look like an apple designed product, or an alien video game design.

That is a big selling point down south, you aren't gonna get the good ol boys to drive something that looks like a bar of soap or that silver single fin donavon frankenwriter rode in that movie w the fin made from double concave on bottom

Charge $20/gallon for gas and make them walk more than 50 yards and they'd drive Garrison's contraption from South Park.

Saw this.



It made me think. It's not related to the recall but every time I'm in a new car with the electric parking brake button, I always wonder if that is now useless in an emergency. The parking brake also used to be called the emergency brake. So now cars have no emergency brake?
