    Looks like it would handle really well.

    One of the things with new vehicles and price is some of these new expensive features you can't delete. It would be nice to be able to buy an option delete car for cheap which only has a motor and chassis. That use to be an option.

    All that stuff is WAY closer than you may think:

    Audi Parking Space
    Audi's Urban Intelligent Assist research initiative uses big data, wireless connectivity and the car's on-board navigation system to, among other things, tell you which street spaces are available and, even better, when a space will open up. It's like Google Now for parking.

    Police will also be able to track it, without a warrant so they can determine our location in case we are going to be arrested. Just watch, it'll happen!
    Probably not to far off base.

    People not buying because of price make a solid argument. Car companies aren't moving units like they used to, especially when you consider population growth. A lot this has to do with useless government regulations. You will soon get to pay for a back up camera on your mustang whether you want it or not, just like you are now paying for an inside trunk release. All hail the nanny state!

    Don't forget about the Shaker 500/1000 audio system. The amps and sub woofer add at least 683 lbs!

    Your right its probably more safety items than anything else.

    Yes, all the extra safety equipment, the use of boron steel in the side impact zones, sound deadening, extra rust protection corrosion all add extra weight.

    On the ecoboost front (at least with the F-150), I need to state it again as I talked trash about our first Ecoboost truck as it had the water moisture issue that caused hesitation during acceleration and some coil packs went bad, etc. all around 70k. Basically, it seemed like the engine was falling apart. I figured the Ecoboost was a POS based on that experience and stated as much on the board.

    Well, I provided a slight correction to that a while back on the board when those issues finally got resolved and our company safety director kept piling on the miles without issue.

    I'm happy to report that our safety director now has 237,000 miles on his Ecoboost Lariat and it's still running strong. He also tows crap around the country to our jobsites when he's visiting and his bed is always loaded down with crap, so much so, that he installed airbags when he first got the truck. He took it in recently because he heard noises in the suspension/chassis and he throught the front-end on his 4x4 had finally gone bad, but he was told the front end was still fine and it was a minor issue in the rear of the truck that echoed up to the front. It was fixed and he's still driving it all over the place.

    In summary, I'm now a believer in the Ecoboost engine. It's proven very durable, reliable, and powerful for our safety director in over 237,000 miles and it's still plugging away.
