the mustang moving to a modular platform is definitely a good thing for its long term viability

The Focus Active has been cancelled since it was Chinese built and has become uneconomical.

So, Ford is about to become a complete non-entity in entry level vehicles.

I mean there's still the EcoSport, right?

the entry level new vehicle market has been just savaged by high quality used vehicles and somewhat more expensive CUVs on long term loans

they're not a huge player in the horse-drawn carriage market but nobody seems to care about that either

Especially the 10L90! Seems like the 10R80 hasn't been as reliable, but perhaps there are just a lot more of them in the wild.

Its the same transmission and I have heard no reliability concerns with the 10R80. Where are you hearing this from?

I've seen quite a few Mustangs with the A10 having issues on forums and youtube videos and whatnot. Doesn't seem to be as prominent as their engines blowing up though.

The 10L90 is supposed to hold more power and has different tuning of course. I'm sure most of the components are the same but there has to be some differences.

I hate that Ford's going to let the Fusion languish on for another year or two. They're doing to it the same thing they did to the Taurus...twice (lol). Eventually there will be a Rental Spec Fusion and Rental Spec Fusion With Leather Seats and the brand will be tarnished after that.

What brand? The Fusion isn't getting refreshed ever.

Ford = F150 and Mustang. That's basically it.

I'd say making a Mustange/F150 crossover would make more sense but I guess they already have the Raptor that they invented whole-cloth so why not do the same with their boring rear end CUV?

I, along with every other human in the world, do not understand large corporations.

Sooo...is now the time to buy a Focus RS? I’ve been thinking of trading in my WRX anyway. Sounds like there’s not gonna be anything close to an RS ever again, maybe it’ll hold its value

The next gen RS is rumored to be a 400hp hybrid, and also maybe subaru will remember they used to make good cars?

The EVO will probably also be coming back as a 174hp\CVT crossover
