Ford hasn’t had the best luck with profitability on its electric vehicle business, but the automaker is not shying away from aiming at the cheaper end of the EV spectrum. CEO Jim Farley recently confirmed that the company would purse sub-$30,000 electric models with its next-generation product line, and said that its existing models would become better in the meantime.
WjtinfwbLooks in decent nick for a Junkyard car. Other than the interior being partially gutted for some trim pieces, you could probably drive it out of the junkyard. Maybe a transmission issue and the cars value precluded a $2k or more fix? J cars were pathetic when introduced in '82 and never really got any better. But GM did sort out most of the reliability issues and with a modicum of maintenance these would run a long time if you could stand the boredom. Guess this owner couldn't.
GS340PeteI see a lot of these on the road. I can't remember the last time I saw one on my local Chevy dealership's lot. They've never in my memory had a few lined up with balloons. Short sighted to kill it off? Perhaps. But I certainly think the rows of $65k and up trucks is short sighted. That's going to bite soon. Looks like they're piling up already.And what about the Trax? Malibu or Trax? Gotta be honest, I'd pick the Trax.Although it should have 50 more HP IMHO. And why are so many preaching doom about the 'wet belt' engine?RIP, Malibu. Ride the highway in the sky with the Impala (talk about short sighted.)
ToolGuyGM didn't care about these and you shouldn't either. 😉
FreedMikeYet another GM Deadly Sin: trot out something in what was a very competitive and important market segment that hadn't been restyled in 11 model years, and was based on a platform that was over 20 years old, and expect people would be dumb enough to buy it over a Corolla or Civic (or a Focus, for that matter).
TheMrFreezeMakes you wonder if he's seeing something with Stellantis he doesn't like and wanted out as a result. As somebody with three FCA vehicles in their driveway, Stellantis is sounding more and more like DaimlerChrysler 2024 🤬
