  1. Every time I drive past the dealer my + comes on. Must have been the 3 weeks it was sitting there waiting for a seatbelt fix
  2. Vignale will be available from 2015 at first on the new-gen Mondeo/Fusion and then on the S-MAX and Edge. It will be slotted above the Titanium X trim and promises to offer more luxurious amenities both inside and out for those who want a more premium Ford. I was talking to the fleet guy when I was getting my PCM update and he said he didn't think Lincoln was going to be around much longer as a brand.
  3. Is it different on the SE than the Titanium?
  4. A buddy of mine has a Fusion SE with all the options, but he has this thing on his windshield that keeps falling off, and I don't have it on mine, he was wondering what it is? Does anyone else have this on theirs and know what it is? My Titanium doesn't have it. Everytime it heats up outside it falls off, and I figured this would be a common problem if other people had them.
  5. http://www.worldcarfans.com/113091162798/ford-mondeo-vignale-concept-debuts-at-frankfurt-motor-show interesting changes. I wished they made the wagon Fusion available in the US
  6. I'm getting about 36, I live at 1500ft and work at 24 ft, so I get great mileage on the way to work and not so great on the way home. This is my first week commuting since I got the update and have noticed only moderate gains so far. My route is 14 to the 5 to the 405 through the valley into west la to the 10 in Santa Monica, it's a pretty rough commute most days especially during all this construction.
  7. Driving 65, in LA, increases your chance of getting into an accident, because everyone is driving faster.
  8. I had the power in my neighborhood go off for 9 hours this last weekend, among the problems of dealing with losing A/C in 100 degree heat, I also was missing my football team playing on PPV, so my wife, son and I all sat in the Fusion for close to 4 hours in park with the A/C on listening to the game on Sirius, and I'm happy to report it did not drain the battery dead. everytime the battery got low, the ICE would come on, charge it back up about 75% then the battery would take over for a while.
  9. I just got my update done on Thurs, but since I'm off work until the 2nd week of September, I won't be able to see the benefits until then. One thing to remember, part of the update was more aggressive use of the active grill shutters, so your aerodynamics are going to change based on the needs of the car, this may account for inconsistencies from trip to trip.
  10. Radar absorbing stealth material. Cops like to target the plate.
  11. Glad I got rid of my Hybrid badges. I've noticed less tailgaters since I did.
  12. I got mine today, I haven't had time to do it, but I will when I'm done with work.
  13. My front window is untinted, but the others are 20% so it looks dark through the front, but inside it's very bright. I am as they say, riding dirty. The guy who applied paint sealant and fixed my door dent took off the badges for me for free.
  14. My Ford Touch needs to add Mirror Link so you can just duplicate your phone's screen on the car touch screen. This would solve a ton of problem with the entertainment system as your phone would do all the grunt work. It would definitely need a better touchscreen though
  15. 1 of 5,during the work week our parking lot looks like an episode of Top Gear. It was..umm... a good year.
  16. Hybrid badges gone, it will be interesting to see if the increase in aggressive drivers drops. No ugly logos ruining my car's lines is a total bonus. :camera:
  17. I'm surprised I don't see more Blue ones, if I had not gotten the Ruby Red I would have gotten the Deep Impact Blue. It is a stunner.
  18. I think advances in battery tech is going to benefit both cars in the next 5 years. Granted you will need to replace the existing ones, but they're only going to get lighter, better storage and faster charging.
  19. Finally saw a Bordeaux Reserve today, it looks much darker and more purple in person. I also saw a TB and a Silver one. I thought another was coming up on me, but I realized it was a Focus Electric as it got close. Similar front end look.
  20. This showed up on mine as well, what's that all about?
