Makes you wonder why Chevrolet is here! If that’s all they sell what’s the point really! Doesn’t add up…

The slowdown they keep warning of is like Waiting for Godot.

Always thought friend with benefits was just the benefits. So you have to shop with them too?

"The record result for the current RAV4 – introduced five years ago – is despite a new-generation model being about 12 to 18 months away, Drive has previously reported. Many customers at the back of the queue today – who may face a long wait time due to a particular colour combination or model grade – could be one of the first to take delivery of the next model." Imagine waiting so long you get the next generation model to the one you road tested.

At some point, Ford will figure out that Mach E (56) simply cannot compete with Tesla Y (4,379)

New gen Everest is really taking the fight to landcruiser.
An uncle of mine bought one, upgrading from a 100 series. He wanted another cruiser but couldn't justify the money being asked for a new one these days. Wait time was similar for both cars... Over 12 months for his Everest. I assume supply is better now.

Are Ford even advertising these? Reverse psychology on those tinder profiles. No FWB, No ONS ‘I’m not that kind of girl’ gives a politician a run for their money for going back on their word. |

Yes it does as we can see which brands and models are the most popular.

CX3 and CX9 are a little old, but otherwise their models are all fresh.

From what I recall, Mazda have been dithering over replacing the 6 due to question marks over the viability of the sedan segment. Media reports indicate the Mazda 6 replacement is due in 2025 and will go upmarket.
And while I am a fan of the bottom end of their range (e.g. 3, CX-5), I am not sure about Mazda's attempt to go upmarket with the CX-90 and CX-60. Sure, they look nice. But, for the cost of the CX-6/90, they don't seem to have the engineering polish of say an Audi, BMW, et al. Lots of little engineering niggles (rough ride, drivetrain snatch, etc). Mazda have their work cut out not to get pushed out of their niche. |

Teslas view is very different to legacy. They will increase and drop in line manufacturing cost. Also, because they can and still remain profitable per unit. Few more competitors entering the market so better to get ahead of them. Sent from my Pixel 8 using Tapatalk

Tesla Y from $69,505 to $89,303 d/away. (In Aust) In the US a Mustang Mach E ranges from $62,433 to $94,000 drive away (this is converted to $AUD). At the moment on the top spec Mach E there is a equivalent $AUD 13,300 incentive so say in Los Angeles it's $AUD 81,126 d/away. In Australia Mach E's range from: $80,573 to $115,008 d/away. That's $AUD33K above the US price on a closely specced GT and it's built in RHD from factory. |
