Re: OFFICIAL THREAD: Gas Prices, your Lincoln, and you

As Frasern talked about diesel - electric trains I have always thought that’s the way to go especially for trucks. Build a gas or diesel generator which they could make very efficient since it only runs at one RPM with a traction motor or motors. Mercedes-Benz has had diesel electric hybrids for a ...

Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on one's side in the matter), the government has its hands in all sorts of the industries with subsidies and other things. This includes oil, "green" energy (solar, wind, electricity, etc.), health care, transportation, farming, and more.

Re: 2020 Suicide Door Continental headed to auction

A car with a 90 mile range is easy to ignore because no one really bought them. The Focus Electric''s range was similar to many other BEVs available at the time including the BMW i3, Chevrolet Spark EV, Fiat 500e, Nissan Leaf, Volkswagen e-Golf, etc. My point is that for the director to say the For...

"Lincoln is expected to unveil its first fully electric vehicle this year, and plans to be an all-electric brand by 2030." I've heard that before.... Was at a LCOC show back in the mid 2010's and was talking with the mid America director of Ford and asked him when Ford was coming out with...

Re: 2020 Suicide Door Continental headed to auction

It will be interesting to see what this one brings. There are still a few new/untitled "Coach Door Edition" models out there for around MSRP, plus some used ones have been going for at least $20,000 less than original MSRP.
