I’m guessing the bumpers are due to federal regulations.

It seems Chrysler developed this car to make something unique, something that would stand out, but it was also an exercise in how to work with aluminum....which was the future.
One dud car that had promise and I am ashamed to admit we owned one was a 74 Mustang II. Cute little thing....no power, and felt like you were sitting in a bathtub.

You crack me up... A Genesis is hardly a wannabe especially now. It is just another player in the luxury market.
I'll admit that Hyundai is slow getting the dedicated Genesis network up and running but once they do and add a few entries I just can't see how companies like Lexus, Acura and Infiniti wouldn't be a little concerned
They need an SUV like the RX350 / QX60 / MDX

I'll admit I don't mind the looks of the Mustang II fastback, especially in some of the garish trim packages.

No clue if it’s a loose connection someplace. I’ll probably never find out. But will be happy if it keeps working since don’t want to pay to fix or replace. Probs better to replace at this point. One hassle is that it’s a Panel ready model, but I think if we replace will go with stainless for 1/2 the price and many more options.

Once that hits, and the dealer network takes off I think you'll really see the brand start earn more market share.

at this point, I'm not trying to take it apart myself. I replaced the broken rollers, that was easy, but not comfortable messing around in the electronics. Will pay the service call for that! Unless we decide to just replace it instead, in which case, I got nothing to lose if I mess it up.

On the bright side those Mustang IIs are also starting to develop a collector base. You should have kept it.

The good news is that the pull-downs for emoticons and pictures seem to work again.
The bad news is that it seems you can no longer click on a user name and then in their profile click to read all of their comments. That has disappeared.
I guess software updates are now being done using the barter system, where something is only provided if traded for something else.

Ford has had a history of paint problems on their aluminum hoods. My 15’ Mustang was no exception. In summer of 2017 @ 9000 miles I noticed some bubbling on the center leading edge. Took it to the dealer and they got Ford to approve a repaint under warranty.
Fast forward to this spring. I take the car out for the first time and notice similar a problem on the outboard edge of the hood. Disappointed since the car still only has about 12k miles. But it’s out of warranty now.
Went through the same procedure at the dealer except this time Ford denies the claim. Seems I’m SOL. Same day I get an email from the dealer with one of the routine “how was your visit?” questions. I decide to vent a bit and tell them how disappointed I was with Ford’s decision especially since the car had such low mileage. Didn’t expect anything to come of it.
Today I get an email from the owner saying the dealership will do the second repaint on their own to insure my satisfaction. I was pretty impressed that they would do this. The car goes in next week.

I remember seeing a new one in a showroom after it had been discontinued. They still had an ADM sticker on it!

FWIW, the emotorcons work with my phone though.
Another FWIW, I got the "Howdy Stranger" page when I logged in with my PC today, with both Edge and MSN. I'd say it ain't fixed yet. It might be seamless but it ain't working right. :@

Seems to be working okay for me from Google Chrome.
The need to login is going to happen periodically. Obviously they (the powers that be) have decided that periodic logging in is a good thing, or at the very least a necessary evil.

For a minute there I thought you were going to say you wouldn't want to own a German car that's out of warranty and that would have caused sparks to fly.

1. Most German (from Germany) cars are subject to the 25% imported car tax. So a $50,000 USD car should sell for app $40,000 Germany/European markets. That is partially responsible for the early large depreciation - minus $’s values.
2. German cars are DIY to needing service, maintenance.
3. They are designed to 4/6 year engineering specifications. 4/6 years @ app 9,000 miles per yr = 36,000 miles 54,000 miles.) in the European markets.
Regardless of what happened I don’t think I had a case once the warranty expired. The dealer did me a solid just because I didn’t have to spend time fighting with him. Ford has a 5 year rust warranty but they weasel out of it by stating they only fix “rust through” which wouldn’t happen in a hundred years with aluminum.
Funny thing, Ford has known about this problem since at least 2005 but didn’t fix It until 2016. Other car companies keep selling engines that blow up or trannys that fail early for years knowing that it will drive away buyers. Is it so difficult for them to change direction or is it a bean counter decision?

Our was the more classic look...notchback with a half vinyl roof. Cute, but really a dressed up Pinto.

Police are allowed to pull a driver over and ticket him/her if observed texting while operating the vehicle. This has been needed for a long time. So, I would advise anyone who is in Florida (residents or those on business or vacation) to heed this very carefully. Out of State license holders will have their home State DMV’s notified of the offense. Out of State drivers (licensed by another State) might have to appear in court from my understanding.
Warnings (written) will be given out until January 1st, 2020. After that, the law will be enforced with fines and points on your license. 1st offense is not too expensive but becomes more expensive with succeeding infractions.

The display screen in my car starts at the glove compartment and goes all the way to the left of the driver’s seating position - in other words it’s one screen that is 6” high (tall). The entire screen is shielded from the sun as well. I think you’d like that - I sure do.
