- Ajla On the Mach-E, I still don't like it but my understanding is that it helps allow Ford to continue offering a V8 in the Mustang and F-150. Considering Dodge and Ram jumped off a cliff into 6-cylinder land there's probably some credibility to that story.
- Ajla If I was Ford I would just troll Stellantis at all times.
- Ronin It's one thing to stay tried and true to loyal past customers; you'll ensure a stream of revenue from your installed base- maybe every several years or so.It's another to attract net-new customers, who are dazzled by so many other attractive offerings that have more cargo capacity than that high-floored 4-Runner bed, and are not so scrunched in scrunchy front seats.Like with the FJ Cruiser: don't bother to update it, thereby saving money while explaining customers like it that way, all the way into oblivion. Not recognizing some customers like to actually have right rear visibility in their SUVs.
- MaintenanceCosts It's not a Benz or a Jag / it's a 5-0 with a rag /And I don't wanna brag / but I could never be stag
- 3-On-The-Tree Son has a 2016 Mustang GT 5.0 and I have a 2009 C6 Corvette LS3 6spd. And on paper they are pretty close.

I like the video reviews. If there is a video review I don't usually read the text because it's all in the video. Also, I can watch these during lunch or while sitting on the couch at home. Sure, you can't consume the info as fast, but the video does communicate more than the text and photos. Besides, I feel for this guy going through all the trouble of making a video review, then having to write out and the text.
I love Alex's video reviews, and prefer them to the text-only reviews. (I read TTAC from home, though, so I don't have the issue of not being able to watch videos from work.) I'd much rather see the car "in person," so to speak, though I also appreciate the fact that written reviews can often provide information and feedback more efficiently. A blend of the two is probably the best way to go.
